Marco Bartolomeo

Founder of SOUL IN TOUCH • Bodyworker • Retreat Leader

With over 15 years of experience in Thai Yoga Bodywork, Qi Gong, and body-oriented awareness practices, Marco offers a grounded and deeply intuitive approach to conscious touch.

He is the founder of the SOUL IN TOUCH method — a blend of Thai Yoga Bodywork, breath, energetic awareness, and presence-based movement. His trainings invite students not only to learn technique, but to reconnect with their own intuitive sensitivity, hands, and body wisdom.

Marco teaches from a place of deep care and simplicity. His style is clear, authentic, and spacious — holding room for both technical learning and personal transformation.

He has guided retreats and courses Worldwise and studied in both Eastern and Western traditions, including time in Thailand, India, and the U.S.

Today, Marco lives with his family on a finca in Tenerife, where he offers immersive retreats & trainings that invite slowness, connection, and embodied learning — in nature, and with an open heart.
