I was raised in the quiet rhythm of a farm, where my grandmother’s healing teas and the wisdom of ‘Tatay Baglan’ — a traditional healer in our village — taught me that nature had answers.

Years later, living in Europe, I lost touch with those roots. It wasn’t until I experienced a life-changing Thai massage during a difficult time that I remembered the healing power of touch. That moment led me to Watpo Medical School in Thailand, where I trained in traditional Thai massage and herbal medicine.

As I traveled through Southeast Asia — from Chiang Mai to the southern islands — I didn’t just learn techniques. I rediscovered purpose, balance, and healing.

From there, I dove into energy work:

• Studying Asian Bio-Energetic Therapy

• Learning yin-yang nutrition through Traditional Chinese Medicine

• And eventually becoming a Reiki Master-Teacher

In Switzerland, I now share this healing legacy — not only with clients but with students  and teachers at Clarissaglow Academy.

This journey became a mission:
To create a space where ancient knowledge meets modern need.
Where people from all walks of life can learn, grow, and thrive.
Where touch becomes transformation.

This is what Clarissaglow Academy is all about.
And it all began in a garden, with a cup of tea and a dream.
