Shiatsu
Slow down, release tension and give your body space to restore through the mindful touch of Shiatsu.
What is Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork practice rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through mindful touch, gentle pressure and stretches, it works with the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians.
A Shiatsu treatment is received fully clothed on a comfortable futon. Using my hands, thumbs and sometimes elbows or knees, I work with different areas of the body to release tension, encourage relaxation and support your natural sense of balance and wellbeing.
Shiatsu is generally a gentle form of bodywork. Some points may feel more sensitive or intense, but the pressure is always adapted to you and your comfort. With experience from more than 500 treatments, I tailor each session to how you feel and what your body needs that day.
Sometimes the treatment is more grounding and calming, sometimes more activating and energising.
A moment to slow down, let go and simply receive.
How can Shiatsu Support you
People come to Shiatsu for many different reasons. Some want to slow down and relax, while others are looking for support during stressful periods, physical tension or low energy. Shiatsu may support:
- Stress and relaxation
- Muscle tension & stiffness
- Sleep & recovery
- Energy & vitality
- Mobility
- Digestion
- Circulation
- Overall wellbeing
Every treatment is individual and adapted to how you are feeling at that moment.

FAQ
Is Shiatsu suitable for everyone?
Shiatsu is generally suitable for many people and the treatment can be adapted to your individual needs. If you are pregnant, have an acute illness, recent injury or surgery, or a medical condition you are unsure about, please let me know before booking.
Is Shiatsu painful?
Shiatsu is generally a gentle form of bodywork. Some points may feel more sensitive or intense, but I always adapt the pressure to you and your comfort.
What happens during my first treatment?
We start with a brief conversation about how you are feeling and anything you would like me to be aware of. This is followed by your personalised Shiatsu treatment, time to rest and a short conversation afterwards. Allow approximately 90 minutes in total.
How regularly can I enjoy Shiatsu?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people enjoy Shiatsu occasionally when they feel they need it, while others choose regular treatments as part of their wellbeing routine. We can find a rhythm that feels right for you.
Can Shiatsu be combined with other treatments or practices?
Yes. Shiatsu can complement other wellbeing practices. Depending on the session, I may also incorporate gentle elements of sound healing where appropriate and if you are comfortable with it.
What can I expect after a Shiatsu treatment?
Many people leave feeling deeply relaxed, lighter and more at ease in their body. Some notice renewed energy, a calmer mind or a greater sense of overall wellbeing. Every treatment is individual, so your experience may be different each time.
Can my health insurance reimburse Shiatsu?
Some private health insurance plans may reimburse part of the cost, depending on your policy and their requirements. Please check directly with your insurance provider.
