What to expect in your Shiatsu session
Whether you're living with fibromyalgia, a frozen shoulder, migraines, or ongoing muscle tenderness, I understand that everyone's experience of pain is unique. That's why I tailor each Shiatsu treatment to your individual needs, focusing on the underlying causes of your discomfort rather than just the symptoms.

Using a gentle combination of acupressure, stretches, and joint mobilisation, Shiatsu can help ease chronic pain and tension. Many of my clients find it supports the release of tight muscles, improves flexibility, and brings relief from discomfort associated with conditions such as headaches, back pain, and neck pain.
​
My aim is to help you feel more comfortable in your body, move with greater ease, and support your overall sense of well-being. Together, we create a customised treatment for your unique state of being. Diet and lifestyle changes may be discussed to improve your situation.

      My hip and body have been feeling much lighter, thank you. I'm very much more aware of how and what I'm teaching and I think that has happened by what you've opened up in me. It has also helped me make a decision which I have been putting off so thank you."

Shiatsu helps to:-
​
Muscle Relaxation and Tension Relief

• Shiatsu uses finger, thumb, and palm pressure on specific points along the body’s meridians (energy pathways).
• This pressure helps relax tight muscles, particularly in the back, which can ease strain on the spine and surrounding tissues.

Improve Circulation

• Shiatsu stimulates blood and lymph flow, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected area.
• Better circulation also helps flush out metabolic waste products that contribute to pain and stiffness.

Nervous System Regulation

• Shiatsu promotes parasympathetic nervous system activity ("rest and digest"), helping reduce stress-related tension.
• This can be particularly helpful if your back pain is partially caused by stress, anxiety, or poor posture.

Alignment and Posture Support

• Shiatsu works on muscles that influence spinal alignment and postural imbalances.
• By releasing specific tension patterns, shiatsu can improve posture, relieving pressure on the back over time.

Energy Flow (Qi or Chi) Balancing

• Shiatsu works to restore the free flow of Qi (life energy) in the body.
• Blocked or stagnant energy can cause pain and dysfunction; freeing it may reduce pain and discomfort.
