Shiatsu is a holistic therapy, that is to say a practitioner considers the whole story of the person; how they feel & conceive the world around them, the way their organs & body function through the changing cycles & rhythms of nature. It is an artful practice of listening to someone’s entire being.

Shiatsu works on both a physical and energetic level to stimulate balance & realignment in body, mind and spirit.

Techniques include palm & thumb pressure, gentle rotations, and stretching and to affect change in the way energy moves through the body, clearing blockages & nourishing areas of weakness.

The massage and rhythmic compression of Shiatsu produces a deeper level of relaxation which in turn reduces stress and strengthens the body's natural healing ability. Shiatsu is an effective way of strengthening your resistance to illness.
