SHIATSU - Harmonizing body, mind and spirit
Shiatsu is a hands-on, holistic, healing art which can be of benefit to anyone in any state of health.
Connecting with the individual, through the body, stimulates the healing power within and brings about an awareness of, not only the current condition, but also the core issues behind it.
A powerful tool for personal growth, Shiatsu enhances ones sense of well-being and the ability to respond to life’s challenges.
Being a complementary therapy, Shiatsu may safely be used in conjunction with conventional medicine and is known to have been helpful in treating a wide range of physical and mental symptoms, both chronic and acute, such as:
back, neck and shouder pain, insomnia, headaches, skin conditions, digestive complaints, phobias, asthma, arthritis, tennis elbow, tendonitis, sports and accidental injuries, blood pressure issues, circulation, relationship issues and nervous complaints.
Treatments
Each treatment is a unique experience and tailored to the needs of the moment.
A session, lasting about an hour, usually begins with a discussion about you and your health, including any specific things you may wish to be addressed.
This is followed by the Shiatsu treatment which usually takes place (depending on mobility) on padding at floor level. At the end there will be a little time to let the effects begin to settle in and to talk about the treatment.
Recipients remain fully clothed throughout.
Cost
A treatment costs £40
Concesionary rates available for those on a low income. Please contact me for details
What to wear
It is best to wear clothes that are easy to move in, warm and of natural fibre. Within reason, the body should be covered as much as possible, so long sleeves and socks are preferable. Skirts, jeans, belts and jewellry are best avoided.
Please avoid perfumes and make-up.
About
" I would rather know the person who has the disease than the disease the person has"
My initial training was as a musician and I have been a concert cellist and teacher for some 30 years. All my life I have been interested in health issues and the relationship between body, mind and spirit.
Throughout my childhood I generally felt unwell but was rarely ill enough to warrant visiting a doctor. I became aware of the need to assume responsibility for my own well-being and this led to me, even as a teenager, investigating the effects of diet and exercise on health. A book entitled 'Quick Headache Relief without Drugs' was my introduction to the use of acupressure.
At music-college I attended classes for body-use, (similar to the Alexander Technique) and developed an interest in psychological approaches.
In my early thirties, the challenges of life seemed to bring up physical and emotional symptoms I could not ignore. I became attracted to philosophy and spiritual healing, discovered Do-In, Pilates and eventually Shiatsu and yoga, beginning my training in 2008 with the Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga where my teachers were Frank Davis, Heidi Armstrong and Rebecca Davis.
Having graduated, I furthered my development with Keith Philips on his 'Transformational Shiatsu' post-graduate course in Bristol.
Now, my health is better than it has ever been and it's a pleasure and a privilege to be working as a Shiatsu practitioner, sharing the benefits I have reaped. I continue to develop my interest in all aspects of healing with further reading, attending workshops (including family constellations) and regular classes in yoga, qigong and 5 rhythms dancing.
