About
Fabiana Vidal
"I believe in the benefits of integrating complementary modalities to traditional Western medicine in a holistic approach. Treating the person as a whole, optimizing health with mind-body therapies, enhancing wellbeing & healing."
Fabiana Vidal is from Porto Alegre, southern Brazil. She holds a Bachelor ‘s Degree of Arts in Social Science from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
In 1996 she traveled to Los Angeles, CA to study English and visit friends. That was the turning point in Fabiana’s life purpose. In 1999 she got certified in massage therapy training at IPSB Institute of Psycho-Structural Balance, Los Angeles. She has been a known skillful massage therapist since, specialized in many modalities.
Fabiana has always been interested in continuing education, leading her into becoming an expert in integrating complementary therapies. Her own self-care practices gave her the tools to teach and support her clients on their own healing journey, and that lead her to Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Program and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.
Fabiana works at Torrance Memorial Medical Center since 2012, she started as outpatient massage therapist, and since 2018 she is implementing the Integrative Health and Wellness Program providing therapeutic services for oncology patients, palliative care and end of life patients. She is the Integrative Health & Wellness Coordinator, providing patient care, nursing education bringing her passion, knowledge and kindness to the healthcare system.
She also worked for many years at local chiropractic offices, teaching Restorative Zen Yoga, her signature class. At Palos Verdes Beach & Athletic Club she is the Senior massage therapist since 2000. In addition, Fabiana has a private practice in the Los Angeles south bay area providing Integrative Health modalities since 1999.
The Integrative Health Program became Fabiana’s passion guiding her to share its benefits, teaching workshops at local yoga studios and wellness centers educating her clients, patients and community. Restorative Zen Yoga became her signature class in the LA south bay area since 2015.
Fabiana’s work has been described by her instructors, students and clients as,
“Skillful, loving, compassionate, peaceful, present, passionate, devoted, authentic, intelligent, deep and caring.”
