Written by our customers, so you know what to expect at each and every venue.
Fantastic massage, one of the best I have ever had. Thank you Kathi!
Second time visiting Kathi. First time at her treatment room. Kathi is just wonderful. Incredibly calming, nurturing and genuinely interested in your well being. Can't recommend enough. Treatment is always so professional.
Extremely relaxing and very attentive

Kathi was amazing at listening to what I was struggling with and tailored the massage to my problem areas. I have back and head pain most days but I left feeling amazing! Kathi is really lovely and very talented with Shiatsu massage.
Great experience, nice atmosphere. I will definitely come back.

About

My journey with Shiatsu began in 2015 in Brussels, Belgium, where I studied for my Shiatsu for Wellness Diploma. Since then, I’ve deepened my knowledge and skills, completing my advanced training and obtaining my full 3-year Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma in 2022 through the EastWest School of Shiatsu and the Glasgow School of Shiatsu, Scotland. I was also one of the first Shiatsu students in the UK to earn official accreditation at Level 6 from Laser Learning, which further strengthens the recognition of Shiatsu as a complementary therapy. In my Shiatsu practice, I integrate elements of Eden Energy Medicine, having recently completed Level 1 training in this complementary modality. Eden Energy Medicine uses Traditional Chinese Medicine as a core framework, which naturally aligns with Shiatsu’s approach to energy flow and balance in the body. I also hold certificates in Deep Tissue Massage, Chinese Nutrition and HeartTouch by Anthony Fidler.

Shiatsu • Deep Tissue • Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage

The City Zen Sanctuary offers professional therapeutic bodywork in Edinburgh, including Shiatsu, Deep Tissue massage, and Back, Neck & Shoulders treatments, supporting people with stress, tension, pain, and ongoing physical or emotional strain.

Clients book different treatments depending on what they need in the moment:

  • Back, Neck & Shoulders massage for focused relief of tension and desk-related strain
  • Deep Tissue massage for chronic tightness, restricted movement, or muscular discomfort
  • Shiatsu for more holistic support, working with the nervous system, energy balance, and overall wellbeing

All sessions are tailored to the individual and begin with a short consultation. Depending on your needs, treatments may combine elements of different approaches to achieve the most effective outcome. Shiatsu treatments are usually received fully clothed.

Many clients come to the City Zen Sanctuary when they:

  • Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or physically run down
  • Experience recurring tension or pain that keeps returning
  • Want more than a relaxing massage and are seeking therapeutic support
  • Are looking for structured care rather than one-off appointments

While a single session can be beneficial, most clients see the greatest improvement through a short series of treatments, allowing the body to respond, adapt, and stabilise over time.

Nearest public transport:

Edinburgh Waverley station is just a 12-minute walk away, and there are numerous bus services from all across the city on adjacent Princes Street and George Street, so you'll have no problem getting to the City Sanctuary. Plenty of paid parking is available nearby, for those arriving by car.

The team:

Fully qualified and accredited Shiatsu Therapist and Deep Tissue Massage Expert Kathi is committed to working with clients seeking thoughtful, professional, and results-oriented treatment, all while offering an exceptional experience.

What we like about the venue:

  • Atmosphere: Restorative, professional and welcoming.
  • Specialises in: Shiatsu treatments that will leave you feeling rejuvenated, revitalised and deeply refreshed
