SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a hands-on method of Japanese bodywork. This approach is rooted in traditional eastern medicine and often referred to as “acupuncture without needles.”

My training is in the method of Ohashiatsu, created by Sensei Ohashi. Traditionally performed on a futon mat, this Yin style approach will have you feeling deeply relaxed and grounded in your body.

Shiatsu applies compression, stretching and acupressure along the meridian channels in the body. Meridians lines are life-force energy channels that are running throughout the entire body, rooting from our energetic hub and second brain, the organs. These energy channels influence our emotional, physical and spiritual health.

The biggest influence in my practice is intuition. By dropping into a deep meditative state, I combine Reiki with Shiatsu to offer the most efficient healing. “I am here to listen to your body” is a phrase you’ll hear me say in our sessions together. Shiatsu is like a healing dance, in each moment I am feeling “listening” to what areas of your body responds to the touch, and navigate which channels are needing the love.

This Zen touch is supportive to your continued health and wellness. Like breaking down a dam for the river to flow, working with the meridian channels will clear physical and energetic blockages held within the body, and allow for fluidity to enter your life. Enjoying a relaxing Shiatsu treatment will allow you to receive, restore, and open your heart.
