Zen Shiatsu is a type of bodywork from Japan based on the ancient model of traditional Eastern medicine.
Shiatsu works on a much deeper level than conventional massage. As your therapist, I work directly with your body’s energetic channels, or “meridians”, to bring this natural life energy into balance.
This promotes deep relaxation, improved vitality and healing.
Because of the techniques involved, shiatsu is performed on the floor, using traditional Japanese tatami mats and an all-cotton futon.
Touch ranges from gentle to powerful – always within your range of comfort. No oils or powders are used.
As well as being an effective treatment for general relaxation and well-being, zen shiatsu can help with:
- Headaches
- Lower back pain and other chronic pain
- Tiredness, tension and stress
- Insomnia
- Depression and emotional problems
- Poor digestion
- Women’s and men’s reproductive health
Your treatment, or series of treatments, will be designed to treat the underlying cause of your condition, as well as relieve your symptoms.
Zen shiatsu treats the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
