Traditional Shiatsu is done on a futon at ground level or in sitting position. Depending on the individual needs of each client a massage table is available for restricted flexibility.

​

Comfortable loose clothing, preferably cotton, should be worn or brought to change into, also no heavy meals or alcohol consumed before treatment.

Shiatsu treatments begin with a case history form. To further diagnose visually and hands on with palpitating the Hara (abdomen) or back sometimes a combination. The duration and the frequency of the treatment, varies depending on the nature and severity of the complaint and on the condition of the recipient.

​

Often the initial treatment consists of a consultation plus a treatment. Thereafter, depending on what health regime that may be considered, a following weekly or bi-weekly treatments are suggested. It usually takes a more intense weekly series of treatment to make some changes and the frequency decreases as the person progresses.

​

To maintain a healthy balance in our lives, monthly treatments or six weeks to even seasonal treatments are suggested as a preventive medicine to help deal with the stresses of daily life.

 

When energy “Ki” is not flowing freely, symptoms occur, liken to a river that stops flowing because of a stone blocking its way.

​

As the quality of “Ki” changes through Shiatsu Treatments the symptoms gradually improve. My mission as a Shiatsu Therapist is to increase the wellbeing of individuals and complement main stream medicine. My goal is to create a healing space of quiet and stillness as a retreat in given times when life is a little turbulent. In doing so, changes happen to promote the flow of energy or “Ki” and eliminating symptoms of ill health.

​

Treatments are offered in half hour, one hour or one and a half hour sessions. No oils or creams are used.
