Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese system of healing through touch which restores wellbeing by engaging with the natural energy in the body. First we build a picture of you, looking at your reasons for seeking shiatsu, your work & leisure life, exercise, eating & sleep patterns, energy and emotional responses to life events. Often tongue & pulse diagnosis may be used.

Shiatsu is traditionally given through clothing on a futon. The session involves application of pressure in harmony with breath, stretching, vibration, meditative holding of acupoints, stimulating warmth by burning mugwort near points (moxa) or aiding release using the chinese spoon or cupping. Recommendations for home practice will be given to incorporate betweeen sessions to encourage an active responsibility in one's path towards wellbeing. These may include stretches, new eating or lifestyle habits.

Shiatsu is indicated for many conditions of joint, postural or muscular origin and systemic conditions eg. menstrual, pregnancy, digestion, headache, fatigue, insomnia, depression. It works especially well for balancing emotion and state of mind.

Shiatsu offers an opportunity to surrender. This means just resting and allowing the practitioner to utilise your body weight in a creative dance enticing the energy - or Ki - to flow in harmony.

A full shiatsu session is 90 minutes - the Ki viva Bliss - although there is still benefit in a 60 mintue session - Ki viva Recharge - or even a Ki viva express (30 minutes) or Ki viva mini (45 minutes).
