In SHIATSU, therapeutic touch is experienced as both listening and communicating by practitioner and client. The practitioner brings non verbal presence and attention to exactly how and who the receiver is.
What is SHIATSU
SHIATSU is body work – a bit like massage but practised through clothes, with the client lying on a futon on the ground.
The aim of a SHIATSU session is to allow the chi or energy to flow more evenly through the body, (using the meridian system as a map) to allow more balance, creating greater health and wellbeing. which can be felt differently by everyone and in every session – common interpretations are; an easing of tension, relief from pain, relaxation, energising, a feeling of being calmer, feeling freer…
A session typically involves the practitioner using a flowing variety of techniques, using palms, thumbs and fingers (or knees, elbows) to apply relaxed pressure to the whole body, along meridians (similar to those used in acupuncture).
Some techniques are similar to those used in physiotherapy, massage, acupressure, but will be experienced by the receiver as a flowing session – where the whole body is attended to. The receiver is only required to relax and occasionally breathe!

Your body, heart, mind and spirit are paid respectful attention.
Bringing over 30 years of experience to every treatment, Lizzie works with compassion, knowledge, feel, instinct and a deep respect for the individuality of every client. The non-verbal nature of the energetic and physical communication by-passes any judgement and barriers of interpretation. In the words of Lao Tzu: "the Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao".
So in every Shiatsu session there's potential for something indescribable, beyond the physical satisfaction of bodywork, mental relaxation and energetic connection.

Shiatsu is like taking the best bits of a satisfyingly deep whole body massage and combining them with powerful but gentle energy healing, along with having your body beautifully passively stretched out - it is a profoundly enjoyable and deeply healing form of bodywork

The Benefits of SHIATSU
Working on your physical and energy body can help you to feel better in many ways - although it must be said that SHIATSU addresses the person and not the symptoms, and that everyone is an individual with their own unique system. No two migraine sufferers are the same!
