Why Choose Shiatsu for Emotional Trauma
Shiatsu treats emotional trauma holistically by regulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins and alleviating symptoms like anxiety and depression. Shiatsu and energy healing provides a safe way to process stored emotions held in the body, restore balance, and heal trauma by addressing the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Who I help:
Empathic women who wish to heal from emotional abuse and feel stuck in cycles of pain, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, shame and a disconnection from their body.
Does this sound like you?
“I can’t stop putting others first — I feel invisible, anxious, and disconnected from who I really am.”
How would it feel:
To experience deep healing through body-based energy work — and feel more joy, ease, and inner strength to finally feel safe, grounded, and free without reliving trauma or spending years in therapy.

How we work together
By establishing safety and trust and building a therapeutic relationship. I provide a calm, safe space where the body feels supported enough to release tension and stored trauma. In each session, I help you let go of what your body is ready to by listening, holding and supporting. We go at a pace that respects your readiness and consent.
Note: Shiatsu and Energy Healing are complementary, not replacements for trauma therapy or psychiatric care when needed.

How Shiatsu Helps with Trauma:
- Regulates the nervous system: Trauma often leaves the nervous system stuck in a hypervigilant (fight/flight) or shutdown (freeze) state. Shiatsu’s rhythmic, grounding touch helps stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system—bringing calm and safety.
- Releases somatic (body-held) tension: Unprocessed trauma is often stored in muscles and fascia. Shiatsu can gently access and release this tension without needing verbal processing.
- Promotes body awareness and reconnection: Trauma can lead to dissociation or numbing. Shiatsu helps people feel present and safe in their body again.
- Balances energetic flow: Imbalances in the body’s Qi from emotional shock or chronic stress can be harmonised, supporting emotional resilience and healing.
How Energy Healing Helps with Trauma:
- Cleanses emotional residue: Traumatic events can leave energetic imprints in the aura or energy field. By clearing these blocks, we restore flow and harmony.
- Supports deep relaxation: Energy healing induces a meditative, parasympathetic state, which is essential for trauma repair and integration.
- Non-invasive and non-verbal: For trauma survivors who find touch or talk triggering, energy healing offers a safe, respectful way to begin healing.
- Rebalances chakras and subtle energy bodies: Trauma often disrupts energy centres (chakras), especially the root (safety), sacral (emotion), and solar plexus (power). Energy healing can help rebalance these centres.

"Experiencing Shiatsu and Energy Healing with Sarah over the past year and a half has truly been transformative. From our very first session, Sarah’s warm, compassionate, and supportive presence created a safe space for my healing journey. Recommended by a friend, I sought her help during a time when I was feeling overwhelmed both emotionally and physically, grappling with significant health challenges.
Through my commitment to Sarah's treatments, I've been releasing deep-seated tension and past traumas, allowing me to cultivate a profound sense of peace and well-being. Her intuitive approach and remarkable ability to connect with my true self have resulted in significant improvements in my overall health. I now feel revitalised and have restored balance in my life.
I am immensely grateful for Sarah and the transformative influence her care has had on my path toward health and happiness."
