Nini Melvin created PresenTouch by blending decades of experience in shiatsu, dance and meditation. She is continuously exploring the dynamic interrelationship between Mother Nature and human nature, aligning personal and planetary healing.
In 1979 Nini received her M.Ed. in dance from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. She danced professionally in Philadelphia and New York City in the 1980's, including performances of her own choreography.
Drawn to learn more about the inner movements of energy in our bodies, Nini became a student of shiatsu in the 1980's. Her background in dance enriched her practice from the start, as she has a finely-tuned awareness of the interaction of physical and subtle anatomy. Nini was a senior instructor at the Ohashi Institue in New York City for ten years, and was also on the faculty of the Omega Institute of Holistic Studies for eight years. She has been training practitioners and instructors in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland since 1990.
Her private practice currently incorporates several modalities, including Five Element Movement and Aquatic Shiatsu . Nini is available for treatments and private lessons in Wendell, Greenfield, and Northampton, Massachusetts; and sometimes in Zurich, Switzerland and Hamburg, Germany.
