About Zen Shiatsu
Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese healing art; restoring the bodies natural flow of energy. I work with you to support the release of tension, stress, physical and emotional pain. Bringing awareness to neglected parts of ourselves, so more of us can live and shine in the present.
We work with the system of channels/meridians through the body, finding pressure points where we can make a connection with your system—releasing or waking up ki that needs to move. Your ki/qi naturally makes use of the contact for your own healing process, which is always seeking balance.
We work fully clothed on a comfortable futon. The touch can be deep in pressure and/or light and precise in different areas of the body, with stretches, rotations of joints and gentle adjustments which allow the energy to move and re-balance. Blood and ki move through the channel, increasing flow, bringing life where it was stagnated and awareness to all parts of the body.
You can come for a one off session or book a series if there is you would like some focused support. A session gives you the physical connection of a massage with the detail of the Eastern energy system and holistic way of looking.
"The free movement of energy and achievement of balance are the goals of Shiatsu treatment." Shiatsu Society
