I have always been fascinated by the eastern approach to healthcare; one that is often underestimated and misunderstood in a western setting where medication and surgery take precendence. I believe Shiatsu among other disciplines such as acupuncture can play a vital role in treating illness and promoting wellbeing. This desire to support others in their journey to good health led me from far away Sicily to London where I qualified at the British School of Shiatsu Do. I have supplemented my training with other courses including Shintai, with a spinal focus and postural correction.

What is Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is a complementary therapy that treats the body through muscular-skeletal realignment in common with physiotherapy while also using pressure points to work with the same meridians as acupuncture; just without the needles!
So in detail...
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork therapy that uses hand pressure to rebalance the body’s energy, promote well-being and prevent illness. It works on the meridians (energetic channels) of the body like acupuncture; effective on the physical, energetic, psychological, emotional and spiritual level. Shiatsu strengthens the body's natural ability to heal and balance itself.
Shiatsu understands the human being as a system of energy, in Japan this is called Ki. The whole basis of Shiatsu is connecting with this Ki, whether on a physical, emotional or spiritual level, to free up blockages or to nourish weak areas to bring about healing.
In Eastern philosophy the lower abdome is extremely important with regards to health. It is believed that every person's energy comes from there and it develops and runs outwards, towards the periphery of the body. The flow of in the body determines how healthy we are and any blockages of it will consequently cause illnesses, pain and discomfort. By improving the energy flow in this system, physical health and psychological balance is restored.
The holistic aspect of Shiatsu is that by treating one part of the body you will treat the whole body.
