Zen Shiatsu originated in Japan and is an evolving form of bodywork, drawing from both Eastern and Western approaches to the body and medicine. We work with the acupressure points like acupuncture, but we manually apply pressure to the whole channel/meridian. Shiatsu means 'finger pressure' in Japanese; it's a simple, subtle and deep practice. A course of treatment brings relief from pain and discomfort through deep connection and movement of 'ki' - our life energy. It can be profoundly relaxing and restorative, leaving you with more energy, clarity, balance and motivation. We work on a futon and you are asked to wear comfortable clothes. Sessions are 60-75 mins. You can read more About Zen Shiatsu & my blog What is Shiatsu? Book here for Bullingdon House in East Oxford. Questions welcome.
Holistic Acupressure Massage works with the meridians and points in a similar way to acupuncture, but like Shiatsu we use our hands. It can be deeply relaxing and calming, or energising and enlivening, depending on what's wanted and needed. As a holistic practice it is underpinned by the idea that the body is always trying to heal itself; we are facilitating this process, giving some time, space and attention. The session is based on what you have told me about yourself, how your body responds, and a bit of what tends to feel good to all bodies. We work on a futon and you are asked to wear comfortable clothes. Sessions are 60-75mins. Book here for Bullingdon House in East Oxford, questions welcome.
