What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is a new name for the oldest form of medicine - healing with hands.

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork treatment that encourages the body to heal. This unique form of touch can also be an incredibly powerful vehicle for deep and long-lasting change. Through working with natural energy pathways in the body and using acupressure points, a receiver can become deeply relaxed which offers a powerful opportunity to explore and address imbalances held in the body. When a body enters a deeper state of relaxation, there comes the potential to seek restoration and healing at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level which can bring about lasting change.

Shiatsu is beneficial for all kinds of health issues brought about by stressful lifestyles or periods of transition. I will help you to relax deeply and treat your body as a whole and promote good health.

I can support you during times when there may be emotional issues affecting your wellbeing.

I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to gain more comfort and ease within your body and mind. Following consultation, we move to bodywork and explore how best healing can begin. We begin with 'not knowing' and create conditions where the body can speak of what it needs to receive touch and start the process of healing. All treatments take place fully clothed and on a futon. I work by using a range of methods, stretching, holding and pressing techniques that work with energy channels and acupressure points in your body to find greater ease and comfort. I will work with you to support your mind and emotions so that any tension can be released where there has been a build-up, or can offer restorative energy where there has been depletion.
