How can I help you?
Shiatsu is a wonderful modality, seamlessly blending ancient and traditional techniques to give you a beautiful and bespoke treatment.
Shiatsu provides the time and space to breathe and unwind, allowing you to let go of stress, tension, pain and old patterns that no longer serve you.
As a hands-on treatment, I work with the soft tissue; skin, the fascia system, tendons, ligaments and muscles, but as Shiatsu is an energy therapy (closely linked to acupuncture), I also work with your energy system to address any imbalances, bringing energy to where it is needed and dispersing it from where it has built up, restoring harmony and flow, creating space in the joints and tissues.
Shiatsu technique requires what we call Penetrating Pressure, to influence the energy channels and points on the body. This pressure can feel deeply nourishing and relaxing, but it can also feel a little sore if there is an imbalance. I also use gentle stretching and mobilisation to encourage the body to let go of tension, allowing Chi and fluids to flow more freely through the tissues and joints, washing away stagnation.
My goal during a treatment is to move you, your body and energy, integrating all the components that make you you, helping you to get back in touch with your body and feel like your body is in harmony. After a treatment I hope that movement will be smoother, your body lighter, your mood uplifted and calm.
Shiatsu is a beautiful experience for the mind, body and soul.
