Shiatsu helps to let go of:-

  • Stress and anxiety: Increases relaxation and soothes body tension and pain, while increasing the release of serotonin and dopamine.
  • Emotional issues: feelings of grief, sadness, low self-esteem, depression, no control in your life, dis-empowerment, abuse, giving your power away to others.
  • Digestion issues: IBS, eating disorders, constipation.
  • Migraines and headaches: Reduces tension and has been shown to diminish the intensity, duration and reliance on medication for sufferers.
  • Muscle pain, including low back and joint pain: Helps facilitate blood flow and circulation, aiding in healing injured muscles.
  • Chronic pain, including fibromyalgia: Relieves tension and stress, improves sleep and reduces muscle and joint pain.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Decreases cortisol and increases serotonin and dopamine, which can calm some of the condition's symptoms.
  • Pregnancy discomfort: Elevates mood, increases blood flow and range of motion, helping relax and prep mothers-to-be for childbirth.
  • Sleep issues, including fatigue and insomnia: Promotes relaxation and reduces stress.

"If there is no free flow, there is pain; ​if there is free flow, there is no pain"
​From the classical text: ‘The Huang Di Nei Jing.’

What my clients say

"I have been coming to Sarah for Shiatsu for several months during a difficult time in my life. Her treatments have been extremely beneficial for the stress and low energy levels I have been experiencing. Sarah is an experienced and engaging practitioner explaining the Shiatsu process well, and I always left her sessions feeling more energised and positive. Easily approachable and professional, I would definitely recommend Sarah to others for an excellent Shiatsu treatment. Thank you Sarah for all your help."

"Having visited Sarah a couple of times for Shiatsu, the last time being a couple of years ago I knew I could trust her to help me. A long time sufferer with anxiety and depression I walk around with a weight on my shoulders and a cloud over my head. This lady gives an amazing treatment which releases me of all those feelings weighing me down. She gets to the very heart of the issues with this treatment. I highly recommend Sarah to anybody who needs to make positive steps forward in their life. She is the most warm, lovely person and makes you feel completely at ease. I've had various treatments over the years but this outshines all of those. You really must try Shiatsu with Sarah. You won't regret it"  xx
