Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a traditional, Japanese bodywork therapy and has its original roots in Chinese Medicine. Shiatsu is a hands-on method that uses finger and palm pressure to various points on the surface of the body. Energy channels or meridians throughout the body become blocked by a build up of stress in our daily lives. This situation can give rise to various symptoms and a sense of unease, which if untreated, may lead to more serious conditions.
As Shiatsu practitioners, we endeavour to work with you in order to ascertain where actual imbalances exist. We strive to alleviate energy blockages with the power of touch, thereby, enabling the body's natural balance to re-establish itself. Shiatsu can create a deeply relaxing experience and regular sessions can relieve habitual problems through a sense of greater self-awareness.
Holistic Massage Therapy
Holistic massage is subtle and works deeply, combining Swedish style massage techniques with pressure points, stretching and movements to release tension and increase flexibility and awareness.
Massage is an ancient art that has been practised for centuries. Holistic comes from the Greek word holos, meaning whole and refers to an approach to massage which works not only on the muscles but the entire person. As therapist, we consider inseparable your physical and emotional well being. Each session is unique and tailored to your needs, taking into account much more than superficial aches and pains. Massage is one of the most natural ways to de-stress the human body.
Massage works by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage which helps the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells and thereby increases vitality. At the same time, massage removes dead skin cells, releases muscular tension and boosts the immune system. Relaxing massage will deepen breathing, calm the mind and reduce stress.
Meet Doris
I have been working in health care for over 30 years. Helping others is something that is natural to me. My first career was paediatric nursing and later paediatric intensive care nursing. My partner introduced me to Shiatsu and I loved receiving it and experiencing the benefits. I was intrigued with the therapy and wanted to learn more about it. In 1999 I moved to London, England and had the opportunity to study Shiatsu.
I obtained my professional training and diploma with the British School of Shiatsu-Do in 2002 and continue my Shiatsu interests with specialised courses in Barefoot Shiatsu, Cupping and Moxibustion. Since 2006, I obtained a Post-Graduate Shiatsu Certificate from The Shiatsu College.
I encountered Shiatsu through an interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. Further, I hold a diploma in Nutrition and Diet Theory which I can combine with overall treatments.
In March 2013 I qualified with a Massage Diploma from City Lit, London.
Having an orthodox and complementary training on health and disease gives me a variety of tools to care for my clients and help them to better health.
