Lel Ordonez is a Shiatsu Practitioner and Yin Yoga teacher based in Melbourne. She came to bodywork through advocacy work with people seeking asylum and refuge, where she saw how deeply emotional wellbeing is connected to the body.
Trained at the Australian Shiatsu College, she brings a gentle, trauma informed approach to her work. She doesn't aim to 'fix' but to accompany: listening closely to the body and helping people slow down, settle the nervous system and reconnect with themselves.
She practises from The Bigger Picture Clinic in Elsternwick and runs Shiatsu Yin classes across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
