Benoit Pilate, My Journey
I discovered massage over 15 years ago, an initial curiosity for body approaches and well-being that turned into an intense passion.
My approach is nourished by intuition, attentive listening, and a particular sensitivity, qualities that I put at the service of each session.
I learned Thai massage with Alain Daligault in Belgium. And it was in Thailand, with Pichest Boonthumme, that I perfected my skills. Pichest is a reference in Thailand, and I joined him five times to learn by his side.
For Shiatsu, I trained over four years with Sensei Yuchi Kawada, and I continue to improve with him today.
But also with Siméon Moutaftchieff, Bernard Bouheret, and the Ido school.
I have practiced Vipassana meditation extensively in the Theravada Buddhist tradition in Belgium (Dhammagroup), in Thailand (Doi Suthep), and in Burma (Panditarama).
The longest silent retreat I completed lasted 50 days.
