“In gentle touch lies the power to feel into the depths and discover feelings, places, and vibrations within oneself that were previously unrecognized.”
Shiatsu
In Japanese shiatsu means "finger pressure". It originated in Japan but takes its roots in traditional Chinese medicine.
Shiatsu is given through gentle finger or palm pressure on acupressure points, as well as assisted stretching; and joint manipulation and mobilization.
This type of bodywork offers an attentive and sensitive touch that can bring the body into a state of intense relaxation, in which it can evacuate all forms of stress and tension as well as to re-center and re-balance itself on the physical, mental, and emotional levels.
As a practitioner, I let myself be guided by what is there, without any intention of manipulation, but simply allowing contact, and accompanying the body towards what it needs.
Shiatsu helps you to be present with what is, to feel and get to know yourself better. You then start to build a deep, profound relationship with yourself, which is the breeding ground for self-acceptance and strength.
A Shiatsu session
The session takes place fully clothed, on a futon on the floor.
I advise you to bring soft and comfortable clothes and warm socks.
A whole session lasts about an hour, with some time to talk before and after, and of course, time to integrate.
