MARIA PATRIZIA GAVONI
My story
I am Maria Patrizia Gavoni, the creative mind behind SoulSpension, a device that has revolutionized the concept of wellness. Since I was young, I have had a passion for research and experimentation, and I have dedicated years of my life to developing solutions to improve people's physical and mental well-being. My career has been marked by a continuous search for answers and solutions, driven by the desire to create a unique and revolutionary tool. With dedication and perseverance, I have managed to bring SoulSpension to life, a device that has already transformed the lives of many people. As CEO of SoulSpension, I lead my team with passion and determination, constantly pushing myself to innovate and improve. My philosophy is simple yet powerful: wellness is within everyone's reach, and SoulSpension is the key to accessing a world of balance and serenity.
With my experience and passion, I continue to shape the future of wellness, driven by curiosity and determination to find increasingly effective solutions for the body, mind and emotions. Born to a cellist mother and an adventurous father, I grew up immersed in culture and art thanks to my family's frequent travels and my relentless search for knowledge. After studying acting in Rome, in 1976 I made the decision to move to the United States, where I lived in cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Key West, Florida. In New York, I worked in the fashion industry and attended the Actors Studios, but at just 23 I experienced burnout, realizing that life was not just about “doing”.
The turning point came when I moved to Hawaii, where I began to immerse myself in the ancient Hawaiian tradition of healers. I learned LomiLomiNui, an ancient Hawaiian massage, and the Kauna philosophy of life, OponoPono. This experience marked the beginning of my journey as a holistic therapist. In the 1980s I returned to Europe, where I continued my education through the study of Bioenergetics, Yoga, Transpersonal Psychology, Transactional Analysis and Transformative Mindfulness, in addition to eleven years of study in the Gurdjieff school.
These years of research, study and practice have laid the foundation for the creation of SoulSpension and the Postural Suspension method. SoulSpension was born from my need to find an effective solution for physical and mental well-being. My personal experience has led me to develop a device capable of acting directly on the back, decompressing the diaphragm and regenerating the paravertebral muscles.
My current mission is to guide people towards a practical and concrete approach to taking care of themselves in an often frenetic world. In addition to using SoulSpension to improve my life and the lives of others, I share the method through certified training courses, enabling health professionals, such as doctors, physical therapists, osteopaths, holistic practitioners and psychologists, to use this tool to support their patients.
Today, SoulSpension has become a travel companion for many people, providing moments of harmony and relaxation and contributing to overall well-being. I am proud to be recognized for my passion in helping people improve their lives through a unique tool and my knowledge in the field of holistic wellness.
