Our life's experiences are held in our bodies...

Our bodies hold the key to our healing...

Shiatsu is a form of healing bodywork that connects deep into the muscles, joints and underlying energy (chi) of the body. It is based on the same meridian and point system as acupuncture but, instead of needles, practitioners use intuitive, compassionate touch to connect with the recipient on a deep level. Everything that makes us who we are is held in our bodies. When you receive shiatsu all of you is welcomed and held; your history and hopes, your woundedness and perfection.

Nothing is too small to be an opportunity for growth and healing...

Nothing is too big to be held in the safety of a shiatsu session...

Physical illness, tension, painful emotions, traumatic memories and difficult events can all be opportunities for deep healing and transformation. When we experience feelings or sensations that we judge to be undesirable we tend to 'close down' around them. In doing so, however, something is lost and we become cut off from our full aliveness and vitality. Through shiatsu it is my aim to help you, safely and at your own pace, reconnect with what has been lost. These resources can give you the power to heal yourself and your life.

Each of us is unique...

Each of us is perfect...

Although clients often come with physical ailments, shiatsu works with the whole being rather than just the symptom. I believe that each person has a place of perfect wisdom within themselves, and holds all the tools they need for their healing. I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can bring whatever you want to bring and be with whatever you need to be with, in order to find the acceptance and peace that resides within you, and the permission to truly be your unique and beautiful self.
