Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a safe and effective holistic therapy that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself.

I treat intuitively, holding and stimulating acupressure points and using stretches and limb rotations to open, connect and create space and movement within the body. 

Treatments often bring the recipient into a deep state of relaxation which is where the most powerful healing can take place.

Shiatsu treatments can be of therapeutic benefit for all kinds of health issues. I have helped clients with the following conditions:

  • Stress symptoms - digestive complaints, anxiety, exhaustion, insomnia, headaches

  • Shoulder, back, neck, jaw and other muscular tension and discomfort

  • Stiffness, lack of mobility, joint issues

  • Post-operative recovery

  • Postnatal recovery

  • Chemotherapy side effects and emotional/physical support for people with cancer including palliative care and recovery

  • Menstrual issues - PMS, dysmenorrhea, menopause

  • Emotional challenges, life transitions, shock, loss, anxiety

Receivers often find that after a Shiatsu they feel an improvement in their general health and well being and even a greater sense of energy, vitality and life flow.

Deep Relaxation Massage Treatment

I offer a bespoke, holistic, relaxation massage treatment from two clinics in Bristol. Holistic massage serves not only to induce a state of deep relaxation but to aid and benefit the body when it feels uncomfortable, when there is pain or other symptoms, or if you are feeling emotionally or mentally ‘out of sorts.’ My treatment style really is a holistic approach; whilst I bring focus to parts of the body that may need extra attention, I never work on anywhere in isolation. As Plato said "The part can never be well unless the whole is well."

My massage style combines all my trainings - I use my forearms to work deeply with long, firm and flowing strokes with sustained but relaxed pressure (depth depending on the receiver’s wishes-I encourage feedback and interactivity…this is your massage after all!)

The physical body is only one expression of our being and I always approach the body with this awareness by bringing in my skills as a Shiatsu practitioner, sometimes holding Acu-points but always combining skillfull and sensitive physical contact with energetic connectivity.  Massage directly impacts and benefit the body’s life force, Qi or Prana.
