This Therapy
I specialise in alignment and biomechanics, focusing on pain relief, rehab after injuries, hypermobility, physical and emotional traumas and stress.
This Unique Therapy
My therapy creates balance, harmony and fluidity in the biomechanics of the body. It combines massage with deep tissue, fascial release, gentle stretching and subtle energy healing. Often just using my hands through a thin cloth, but occasionally also using oil, ointments or massage tools. It is given on the floor, massage table or chair.
There is a communication through my hands and movements with the persons body, nervous system and being, where I guide their body towards a more natural aligned posture: creating physical space for their joints and organs, rediscovering harmony on a physical, emotional and energetic level.
The Focus
Not only does it focus on the main areas of the body; neck, shoulders, back, arms, hips and legs, but also integrates slow detailed release on the head and face, in the front of the neck and jaw, armpits, ribcage, diaphragm, abdomen, groin, pelvic floor and the feet.
Each session is unique, focusing on the required areas, through a combination of physical and energetic healing.
Influences
Its foundations are in Reiki, Oriental Massage, Acupressure and Reflexology. With influences from Osteopathy, Physiotherapy, Rolfing, Cranealsacral, Feldenkrais, Yoga, Dance and much more. This technique not only helps restore the biomechanics of the physical body but also takes you on a journey to settle the nervous system and release emotions, creating space for your energy to flow. Taking into account the effects of gravity and life experiences on our structure.​​
Each patient and each therapy is different, accommodating the needs of each moment.
From very subtle movements to deep tissue, the body and being are guided towards a new space.
How this therapy came to be...
In 2003 after completing a degree in Mathematics, I moved to Mexico where I began studying and working in healing. I apprenticed for years following my father, Aldo Fogazza (Acupuncturist/Healer & Shaman) and studied Restorative Alignment Yoga. My time was spent living in Nature, dancing many different styles and participating in peyote ceremonies and Sweat Lodges.
​​​
Over time my practice deepened as I continued to heal others and learn from their experiences, discovering the infinite variables that can influence our health and wellbeing.
However, certain personal life experiences and injuries deepened my understanding and perception of the human being even more. My life has taken me on a journey experiencing the effects of emotional trauma and PTSD, Hypothyroidism, living with Hypermobility causing multiple dislocations, receiving surgery for a labral tear and a rare allergy called Alpha Gal Syndrome.
​
This unique therapy has come from a mix of all my life experiences and studies, bringing together my physical understanding of the bodies structure, alignment and biology, combined with the my subtle perception of energy.

The Concept
"...creating space within the weave of the bodies soft tissue, gives space for the joints to move freely. This allows the lungs to have space to expand. And consequently more space to be able to process emotions and life experiences."
"The more body awareness we have, the more we can help ourselves."
"Each treatment is a communication with the person's body, guiding it to a more comfortable position."

“Elisa is by far my favourite masseuse. I see her once a month and when I don’t I have pain. She is gentle and firm all at the same time and can feel exactly where my body needs work. She is also incredibly lovely and easy to talk to. I always look forward to my appointments with her. My partner enjoys treatments from Aldo. We have both had ceremony with them. If you want the real deal and to be healed this space is worth the trip.”

“I so look forward to Elisa’s massages, she has incredible healing hands, is so knowledgeable as to the workings of the body and helps me with my painful hip. She is very caring and I feel like I am in safe hands… I have recommended her to many of my friends.”
Rose, Mexico 2024
"I have suffered with pain in my hip area for eight years and have seen over 15 specialists and Elisa is the only one that could truly help. Her treatments are healing not just for the body but also for the soul and I highly recommend anyone to go see her."
Andrea, Mexico 2025
"Working with Elisa after I broke my clavicle in a motorbike accident was an incredible experience. From the very beginning, her expertise was evident.
She created a personalized treatment plan that was not only effective but also easy to follow. From the very first session, it was clear that the approach went beyond just the physical. She took the time to listen and understand me. The sessions were not just about exercises; they became a moment when I could discuss my worries and my progresses.
The physical therapy was excellent and I have regained full mobility of my arm.
The most impactful part of the journey has been the deep, personal connection I've formed with Elisa. She helped me not only to heal my shoulder.... thank you for everything:)"
Ixchel, Mexico 2025
“I began seeing Elisa for a strong back pain. My expectations were to reduce the pain, but what I received through the therapy sessions and restorative yoga classes was much more than I imagined.
With her loving presence she has accompanied me to connect with myself on different physical and energetic levels.
I am profoundly grateful for the work in which she has accompanied me in doing.”
Katy, Mexico 2025
"In december 2024 I was run over, I injured my shoulder, had a compression in my cervical spine and received a major hit to my head, which left me dizzy all of the time. The doctor discharged me saying that I would be left with limited movements of my arm. A friend recommended me to Centro Nijo, where I met Elisa. Her osteopathic style treatment, not being the conventional, is a soft technique, where it slowly discovers and communicates with each corner of the body, creating a link of trust between the therapist and the patient. At first I had no movement of my arm and was completely misaligned. Thanks to Elisa, I began to gain trust again, healing my trauma and regaining movement. The sessions were never easy, but each time there was some more movement. Today, thanks to Elisa, I have the movement of my arm, the cervical area continues to improve and I am no longer dizzy. I highly recommend her treatment. I am extremely grateful to her for bringing me back to normal life."
