This experience in India brought her to the understanding that there is a new type of therapy emerging called the Psychology of the Buddhas. This approach understood that the traditional therapies of analysis and later of emotional discharge could not promote change and healing on deeper levels if meditation was not brought in. And up to the present day Vasumatis work is based on the interface betwe
en psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation. In 1990 she became interested in Co dependency and trained in couple counseling at the Couples Institute in Palo Alto California. Today she works in a group, training and individual setting in Couple, Relationship and Family Therapy.

That is why she says she focus her work by melting the body (yoga and breathing), the sound (Hang drum, Quartz singing bowls, shamanic drum and voice) and the smell sense, Rainbow Aromatherapy (fusion of essences, and minerals, combined in 8 powerful compositions for the chakras).

„It happened that I met Osho and he is the inspiration for this work Meditative Healing.
I am the founder, teacher and facilitator of this school for human spriitual growth and healing. And being busy, proud and happy to be able to train others worldwide to share these gifts with the world.
My contact with meditation and healing began at the OSHO International Meditation Resort in Pune, India (OIMR). There I discovered the many and miraculous effects of meditation. I participated in many personal growth courses, healing and esoteric trainings and meditation retreats. At each step I discovered something new about who I am. The most valuable were the experiences of the many different meditation techniques made available by Osho. So in a way I was being trained by my own path, I became my own model.
In 1993 I started to work at the OIMR as an energy healer. Gradually my work expanded into energy work, energy reading and channelling. It included Shamanism, Tantra, woman’s work and again and again meditation. I began to lead my first groups and trainings in 1998 and around 2000 I started to work in many different countries around the globe.
I work as a spiritual teacher, meditation facilitator, healer, channel and medium.“
Stefanie huttner
sports masseuse, bodyworker
She has her roots in germany, close to lake ammer, born 1978. The first official massage course was a Prana Stone Massage seminar 2006, soon followed by a Dorn-Breuss course and finally the graduation as medical tested sportsmasseuse and foot reflexologist in 2007. This allowed her to open her first treatment room in Munich, before she decided to move to Mallorca. Furthermore she enjoyed “life-in-education” from international Coach Thomas Hertlein since 2003 about: holistic human body work, psychosomatics, body symbolism, deep relaxation and massage techniques.
“I see it more like this: The massages “found me”, not the other way round. Since I have started I learned so much, I don’t see any end and I know it is one of the finest arts. Bodywork asks for a lot of presence and love. The bodies expressions are as manifold as humans exist which is very fascinating for me. I love this direct human caring and helping releasing tensions.”
She works now together in different teams and treatment rooms in Mallorca.
