Shiatsu Therapy
Shiatsu is a deeply restorative healing art that draws from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Using gentle pressure, stretches, and mindful movements, it helps to release tension, improve energy flow, and support the body’s natural healing abilities. It’s a therapy that goes beyond the physical, bringing harmony to both body and mind.
In my practice, shiatsu is about more than just relief—it’s about creating balance and helping you reconnect with yourself. Each session is thoughtfully designed to address your unique needs, whether you’re looking to ease stress, relieve pain, or simply take a moment to reset. Shiatsu meets you where you are and gently guides you toward greater well-being.
I often describe shiatsu as a pause for your body and mind, a time to tune in and let go. The benefits reach far beyond the session itself, leaving you feeling calm, energized, and ready to move through life with more ease. If you’re ready to experience the power of this holistic practice, I’d love to share it with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shiatsu, and how is it different from other types of massage?
Shiatsu is a unique form of bodywork rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It focuses on balancing the body’s energy by applying gentle pressure along energy pathways, or meridians. Unlike other massages, you stay fully clothed during a session, and the goal isn’t just relaxation but holistic healing—body, mind, and spirit.
Can shiatsu help with stress and tension?
Absolutely! Shiatsu is known for its ability to melt away stress and ease tension. By releasing energy blockages, it creates a sense of deep relaxation and helps the body reset. Many clients say they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves.
Is shiatsu safe for everyone?
Shiatsu is a safe and adaptable therapy for most people. Each session is customized to your needs, whether you’re dealing with pain, stress, or simply looking to maintain balance. It’s a gentle, non-invasive approach to well-being that works in harmony with your body.
What does a shiatsu session feel like?
Shiatsu feels like a rhythmic, flowing combination of stretches, gentle pressure, and movement. It’s deeply grounding and restorative, often leaving you with a profound sense of calm and alignment. It’s like hitting the “reset” button for your entire system.
Can shiatsu be combined with other therapies?
Yes! I often combine shiatsu with techniques like cupping or mobility work to create a comprehensive healing experience. Shiatsu restores balance and energy flow, while other therapies target specific areas or concerns. Together, they amplify each other’s benefits, offering a truly holistic approach to health and well-being.
