About Marco Bartolomeo – Founder of SOUL IN TOUCH and SOUL IN TOUCH Academy
Marco Bartolomeo is a passionate healer, teacher, and lifelong student of the art of conscious touch. As the founder of SOUL IN TOUCH and the SOUL IN TOUCH Academy, Marco is dedicated to spreading the beauty of healing touch and empowering others to explore this transformative art. His work integrates the wisdom of Thai Yoga Massage with the mindfulness of Yoga and Qi Gong, creating a unique and holistic approach that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit.
Marco’s journey began with his first courses at the Sunshine Network and Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical School, where he immersed himself in the foundational teachings of Thai Massage. These early experiences ignited his passion for healing and connection through touch. He further expanded his expertise at the renowned IPSB College (International Professional School of Bodywork) in San Diego, California, where he explored a wide range of healing modalities, focusing on the integration of physical, emotional, and energetic well-being.
As a certified Yoga and Qi Gong teacher, Marco enriches his practice with the principles of movement, breath, and mindfulness. This multidimensional approach forms the cornerstone of his signature style, SOUL IN TOUCH, which draws from the ancient art of Thai Massage while weaving in the energetic depth of Qi Gong, the flow of Yoga, and the transformative power of bodywork.
Through the SOUL IN TOUCH Academy, Marco shares his knowledge and passion with others, offering courses designed to teach not only the techniques but also the essence of healing touch. He believes that massage is more than a skill—it’s a sacred art that connects people on a deeper level, fostering presence, awareness, and a profound sense of purpose. Marco’s mission is to inspire others to carry this healing practice forward and create a ripple effect of care, connection, and transformation.
Marco feels honored to be part of the Jury and looks forward to serve this beautiful community.
