Zen Shiatsu aims to bring balance and harmony to the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the individual. This holistic approach can help with various conditions such as back pain, muscle tension, joint pain, headaches, anxiety, or fatigue. Additionally, Zen Shiatsu can improve circulation, flexibility, and range of motion, making it beneficial for athletes and those seeking to maintain optimal health. Each session is tailored to the unique needs of the client, providing a personalized and nurturing experience. Whether you are looking for relief from specific symptoms or simply seeking a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience, Zen Shiatsu offers a natural and holistic way to support your health and well-being.

The amount of treatments that you may need, would largely depend on the issue that you have. As a guide, I would recommend four to six weekly treatments, with reviews after each session to monitor progress on how the treatments are taking root.

The number of treatments you may need will largely depend on the issue you are seeking to address. As a general guideline, I recommend four to six weekly treatments initially, with a review after each session to assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary. Similar to regular sessions at the gym or seeing a physiotherapist, progress may be gradual. By working closely together and having regular sessions, I can tailor the treatments to your specific needs and help you achieve a better quality of life. I believe in taking a holistic approach to wellness and I am committed to supporting your body's natural healing process and help you achieve lasting results.

I would recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing for your shiatsu treatment. Since shiatsu is performed fully clothed on a futon mat on the floor, it's important to wear attire that allows for ease of movement and comfort. Avoid wearing constrictive or tight-fitting clothing, such as jeans or skirts, as these can limit the effectiveness of the treatment.

Our goal is to create a relaxing and tranquil environment for you to receive the full benefits of shiatsu, and wearing the right clothing can contribute to a more enjoyable and beneficial session. If you have any specific concerns about what to wear, feel free to contact me prior to your appointment and I will be happy to provide further guidance.

All ages can be treated with Zen Shiatsu, as it is very adaptable and suitable for infants to the older generations, allowing all individuals to experience the compassionate touch of Shiatsu. However, I have established 16 as the minimum age requirement for receiving treatments at my practice.

If getting up and down from from the floor is difficult, I am able give Shiatsu treatments on a massage table.

Please contact me if you have any queries.

I look forward to meeting you..

Zen Shiatsu is an effective stand-alone treatment that can also be complementary and supportive to other physical and psychological therapies. The gentle yet deep pressure and stretching techniques used in Shiatsu can help release tension, stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial in conjunction with other therapies such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, and counselling.

By addressing the body's energy flow and promoting balance, Zen Shiatsu can enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, leading to better overall wellness and healing.
