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.
