A very relaxing massage. Thank you Kathy!
Kathi was wonderful - everything was completely personalised and I felt incredible afterwards. I'm excited to go back and see what the possibilities of Shiatsu are. I highly, highly recommend Kathi!
Relaxing
I had a lovely massage with Kathi, who was very warm and welcoming. Her home-based studio was clean and comfortable. I left feeling much more relaxed and only wish I’d booked for longer!

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

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 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.

There is ample free and secure on-street parking available, so if you choose to come by car this is easily possible.
