SHIATSU therapy
Your body keeps the score
- Bessel Van der Kolk
I discovered Shiatsu during a key life-transition.
I experienced Shiatsu during a holiday in Kyoto, Japan. At the end of the session, the Japanese lady put her hand on my belly and said the universal word “stress”. That is all she said. Indeed, work was challenging at that time.
As Tara Brach puts it so simply, our issues are in our tissues.
A year later, I started my own 3 year journey into becoming a shiatsu therapist. I learned and felt how Ki energy (breath of life) that flows through our bodies via 12 channels, known as meridians, feed us on a psychological, emotional and spiritual level.
Through compassionate touch on acupressure points, Shiatsu unblocks energy channels, liberates the flow of energy and strengthens your natural ability to heal, find balance and boost our energy. We can release those issues that are blocked in our tissues.
By liberating your Life-Energy, Shiatsu liberates you to move gently and bravely towards your True North.
The Benefits
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience that can reduce tension and increase vitality. It can help you if you are suffering from conditions such as insomnia, stress, chronic fatigue, overwhelm, self-doubt, depression and anxiety, burn-out, indigestion, joint inflammation, etc.
You will likely come away feeling more grounded, energised, and aligned with what is right for you. Shiatsu is particularly powerful when experienced in conjunction with Coaching.
The Experience
You will lie on a futon for Shiatsu, fully clothed. If you’d like to, you are free to share any physical or psychological difficulties with me before we start.
I start my sessions with gentle pressing movements on your belly area to connect with your energy levels; I listen and determine where further work is needed.
Based on where your energy blockages are, I’ll press acupressure points to restore flow and balance.

FAQs
-
Each person’s journey is different and unique.
It is important to note that Shiatsu therapy is preventive and so a regular practice is recommended.
In a crisis, I would recommend a session per week during that phase. If not, I would recommend once a month.
-
Because Shiatsu is performed through clothing, I invite you to wear light clothing (no jeans).
-
Unfortunately coaching and shiatsu are not refundable.
