(She/Her)
I am deeply honoured to offer my services as a Shiatsu and Reiki practitioner!
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The session is holistic and deeply therapeutic by including the whole body: front, back, face, scalp, hands and feet. Stagnant energy is released as it moves through the body, restoring balance, well-being and connecting the mind-body-spirit. It involves assisted stretching, acupressure points and joint mobilisation with compression and rhythmic rocking. It is deeply grounding and often described as more than a massage but also a form of meditative bodywork rather than just "muscle deep."
I often combine Shiatsu with Reiki and/or Thai to meet individual needs.
Traditionally, Shiatsu is given on the floor on a mat. I use a table.
No oils are used, so be prepared by wearing loose comfortable clothing. I can use a sheet over your unclothed body if clothing is not a convenient option or if you prefer to be undressed. Either work in my practice.
I look forward to meeting you!
