Shiatsu

Shiatsu and acupressure are body and energy work. They are holistic complementary and alternative therapies. The treatments take place fully clothed on a futon, a massage table, or a chair, depending on what is comfortable for the client.

During these treatments, I work with pressure points and the energy pathways throughout the body. The aim is to harmonise energetic imbalance on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Shiatsu can be used to treat a wide range of muscular, musculoskeletal, and emotional conditions. It can reduce muscle stiffness, help with digestion, and influence the nervous system.

Shiatsu doesn’t just focus on one particular issue; it helps to rebalance the whole body and energy system. I mainly use my palms, fingers, and thumbs, but also sometimes involve my elbows and knees. The shiatsu treatment is full body and involves stretches and rotations to help move stagnant energy, loosen and release tension, and bring mobility back into the body.

Acupressure is included in the treatment. It focuses on pressure points that need to be worked in order to release tension. Prices start from £40 for a 45-minute treatment.

Intuitive Deep Tissue

Intuitive deep tissue is a hands-on treatment with essential oil that is used to relieve tension in muscles and connective tissue. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. I use deep tissue techniques and pressure points with the aim of reducing muscular tension, discomfort, and pain. This treatment is is a blend of my training in Sports massage and Shiatsu. Prices start from £45 for a 45-minute treatment.

Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a very gentle and relaxing treatment that is used mostly to promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic vessels that lead to the circulatory system. This helps with the removal of metabolic wastes, excess water toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules, and foreign substances from the tissue via the lymph vessels and the venous capillaries. Prices start from £30 for a 30-minute treatment.
