Growing up in northern Italy, Lorenzo developed a love of sports and physical activities such as skiing, mountain biking and rock climbing. From this early age, he learned the benefits that come with nurturing one's physical health to enhance sport performance, and his journey into becoming a wellness practitioner seemed to be a natural one.
Lorenzo left Milan for London to study at Ki Kai School of Shiatsu where he became a qualified Shiatsu practitioner. Through Shiatsu he learned the importance of treating clients as whole- mind, body and spirit. To achieve this, Lorenzo really listens to his client's verbal and non verbal cues to understand their true mental and physical feelings. The result is a treatment approach that has a tailored and adapted touch to help restore their inner balance.
His passion for sports lead him to continue his education at The London School of Massage and specialise in Sports Massage. The Level 4 ITEC qualification has increased Lorenzo's knowledge of anatomy and physiology, ability to effectively treat deeper into muscles, and his confidence at providing his clients with complementary aftercare advice.
When his regular clients were reluctantly needing to switch to another practitioner because they were now expecting mums, he took the initiative to qualify in Pregnancy Massage and can now offer continuity of their care from antenatal to postnatal.
In his practice, Lorenzo adopts a wide range of soft tissue techniques including soft tissue release, deep tissue friction, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and assisted stretching. He combines his two specialised modalities to provide a tailored treatment experience that leaves his client's feeling physically and emotionally healthier.

Lorenzo’s Testimonials
I had a sports massage with Lorenzo here and I cannot fault it! He seriously knows his stuff, and he really helped alleviate pain from a couple of issues that had been bugging me for weeks. I'll definitely be booking with him again asapA Brook-Partridge - Google Review 60 Minute Sports Massage
I usually see the same person for a massage at The Soma Room, but on this occasion I saw Lorenzo had some last minute space available, and thought I'd give him a try seeing as he's new to the team. Lovely fella. Attentive from the beginning. He checked out what I was wanting him to work on, and like other staff in the team, Lorenzo was intuitive and senstive to how my body was responding and found those troublesome points. When I asked him to increase the pressure, he certainly did! You know that point where it's deep that you KNOW something is being worked on that you need to breathe through it, but not so hard that it's just painful? THAT kind of effort. After the massage Lorenzo offered a couple of suggestions for after care and general tips to help my lower back (always appreciate those from the team at Soma) and made sure I was hydrated. He's friendly and professional. And I would see him again and recommend him to others.Maria - TripAdvisor 45 Minute Deep Tissue Massage
Cosy and Welcoming space with a very peaceful atmoshpere. I booked an hour massage with Lorenzo which started with a brief consultation followed by the massage. I had a great experience, Lorenzo used the right pressure and massage techniques, as well as giving an assessment of how my body was at the end of the session and some tips to keeps my muscles in good shape until my next consultation. The bed was heated and the music was relaxing. I left with a feeling of lightness and comfort. Thank you Lorenzo and The Soma Room team for the experience.A Pfeifer - Google Review 60 Minute Deep Tissue Massage
