Zen Shiatsu
​
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 meridians and points in a similar way to acupuncture, but use our hands, arms, knees and feet. What happens in each session is unique as we are always in a state of flux; the intention is to always meet you where you are in the moment, bringing ease and movement of ki - our life energy. Treatment can be profoundly relaxing and restorative, leaving you with more clarity and motivation. We work on a futon and you are asked to wear comfortable clothes. You can book here or give me a call/email, questions welcome. Sessions are 60-75 mins. Also see more About Zen Shiatsu.
Holistic Acupressure Massage
Holistic Acupressure works with the meridians and points in a similar way to acupuncture, but like Shiatsu we use our hands, arms, knees and feet. It can be deeply relaxing and calming, or energising and enlivening, depending on what's wanted, needed and possible for the body. 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, plus a bit of what tends to feel good for all bodies. We work on a futon and you are asked to wear comfortable clothes. You can book here or give me a call/email, questions very welcome. Sessions are 60-75mins.
