Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a holistic body-work therapy based on touch that is attentive, listening, and responsive. It is a therapy that centres on the body and the whole life experience held within, and expressed through, the body.

Sessions may include pressing, holding and movement. The quality of touch, whether firmer or softer, is always guided by what you need.

Shiatsu is not forceful or intrusive. It is about offering the right kind of contact and presence to support your body awareness and facilitate your natural capacity for healing and restoration. The quality of touch can help you feel more grounded and centred, and bring a sense of ease and vitality.

Shiatsu can help you develop a deeper connection with your embodied self. As you explore this process, new sensations and feelings may arise, creating space to transform habitual patterns and cultivate new ways of being.

Shiatsu can help with:

• Pain, tension and physical discomfort
• Feeling lost, disconnected or empty
• Anxiety and stress
• Complex or overwhelming emotional experiences
• Sleeping difficulties

Why Shiatsu:

• Works with physical symptoms in the context of your broader emotional life
• Works with the underlying causes of tension, pain and discomfort for meaningful and lasting change
• Supports emotional awareness through the body – not relying on talking and analysis
• Respects your boundaries with a responsive and sensitive approach
