Jeff Romanowski
LITCHFIELD HILLS, CT - USA
Jeff Romanowski is the developer of the Romanowski Method — a practice he has been refining for over three decades, born from a curiosity about what the body does when given the right conditions to release what it has been holding. He works with the same quality of attention he developed as a boy, sensing what is hidden beneath the surface. A craftsman in wood and a practitioner of ceremony, Jeff brings to every session a lifetime of learning to feel what is there before it can be named. He sees clients from his base in the Hudson Valley, New York, and travels internationally to teach and work.

Santiago Ruiz
MADRID - SPAIN
Santiago Ruiz spent decades as an actor, director, and creative director . Throughout his life he was driven by one question: what creates the conditions for something real to happen in another person?
He had already been walking the Toltec path when he received his first session of Romanowski, and immediately felt the method accelerating something already in motion. That convergence of ancient wisdom and precise bodywork shapes how he works today.
A lifelong nomadic traveller, he sees clients in Madrid or wherever he happens to be.

Stephane Shoji
MADRID - SPAIN
For more than 15 years, the method has been a game-changer in Stephane's life and in the lives of those around him.
The method represents for him a promise of better days, but also a reason to stand up and share something beyond words and beyond the material world. As a professional chef and passionate cook, he learned that food mixed with the intention of the soul makes all the difference. The method takes that same intention to another level, and Stephane sees this method of a true human medicine, where therapists become portals for healing.

Néverys Suárez
MADRID - SPAIN
Néverys Yuruary was born in Caracas, Venezuela, shaped by the names her parents gave her — Néverys, "the stream of the feast," and Yuruary, "clear water running straight." After years as a flight attendant observing human behaviour, she felt called to contribute to others' wellbeing through her hands.
In 2009 she discovered Thai massage, and soon after, Jeff Romanowski arrived with his method and the idea of the "technique that is not a technique" — confirmed by a journey to Thailand, where she found a master applying the same premise. Today she is a massage therapist, specialist in Thai massage, and constant student of the Romanowski Method, soon to begin studies in osteopathy.

Javier Martin
MADRID - SPAIN
Javier Martin has been a professional massage therapist and teacher since 2008. He began his path in the Romanowski Method in 2010 and has been practicing it ever since. He understands the human body as a whole — a balance of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Working with the body, he believes, gives access to all of these dimensions as a path toward healing. His work moves him deeply. Helping people feel well is, for him, the most fulfilling thing there is — seeing happiness and gratitude in someone after a session, whether it is a relaxing massage, deep tissue work, or a Romanowski session.

Marcia Perez
SÃO PAULO - BRAZIL
Awakened by dance to the listening of the body, Marcia Perez discovered that every movement carries a story — and that this listening would become the axis of her entire path. She left a career in economics to dedicate herself to decades of study across therapeutic traditions — training in Yoga at the Iyengar Institute in India, Shiatsu Therapy in Australia, Thai Traditional Massage at Wat Po in Bangkok, and Ayurvedic Massage in Pune. When she encountered the Romanowski Method, something fell into place. From her first session she felt its effects across the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual fields — a tool capable of accessing ancient memories stored in the unconscious, bringing presence and a deeper listening to what the body wants to say. She sees clients in São Paulo and Campo Grande.

Alice Arida
SÃO PAULO - BRAZIL
Alice Arida is a documentary photographer whose work has focused on the peoples and landscapes of the Amazon. Trained in Fine Arts at the University of São Paulo, she spent years developing a visual practice rooted in listening — to places, to faces, to the stories that bodies carry without words. Before enrolling in the Romanowski Method training, she called Jeff Romanowski with a question: "I'm just a photographer. Can I learn the method?" The answer was yes. She has since understood that the same quality of attention that makes a photographer — the capacity to be present, to feel before seeing, to wait for what the body wants to reveal — is precisely what the method asks of a practitioner.Alice certified in 2026 and sees clients in São Paulo.

Guilherme Rodrigues
RIO DE JANEIRO, RJ - BRAZIL
Guilherme Rodrigues was born in Rio de Janeiro and, at the age of 23, moved to New York to study photography, where he lived for seven years. After returning to Brazil, he earned a degree in filmmaking and spent decades working in the audiovisual industry. Over time, he realized that the social illness surrounding him was also affecting him from within, gradually draining the sense of purpose from his work.During the pandemic, he reconnected with what his body had been signaling for years. He returned to the practice of Do-In, which he had learned in childhood, revisited Lowen's Bioenergetics, and deepened his studies of thought-forms, coming to understand that thoughts and intentions can become forces of either illness or healing.
