What is Shiatsu
Shiatsu is the art of healing through touch ~ a therapeutic Japanese acupressure massage that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Shiatsu works by applying gentle pressure to the body’s meridians (energy channels) and acupressure points, helping to restore balance and promote natural healing.
With experience from over 500 treatments, every appointment is guided by a deep understanding of individual needs and a refined, intuitive approach.
Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes (including a brief conversation, a personalized hands-on treatment, quiet time to rest afterward, and a short follow-up discussion) and leaves you feeling deeply relaxed, rejuvenated, and revitalised.
How can Shiatsu help you

KIND WORDS FROM THE HEART
EXCELLENT Based on 59 reviews Posted on DeBorah Lewis7. August, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very particular about yoga teachers because I have ongoing knee limitations that haven't been resolved, so feeling safe and supported in a class is incredibly important to me. Peti created exactly that environment. From the moment you walk into her class, you feel welcomed, invited, comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. She creates a space where you can completely relax into the moment, let go, come back into your body, become present, and simply breathe. In our case, we were outside in the fresh air, enjoying the beautiful sunshine. At the time, she was also supporting we students studying Shiatsu, so she thoughtfully incorporated meridian yoga into her classes. It was such a beautiful way to experience the relationship between meridians and movement, making the concepts feel tangible and embodied rather than just theoretical. I absolutely loved her classes. Peti brings together deep knowledge, kindness, and presence in a way that makes everyone feel safe to practise in their own body, whatever their abilities or limitations. I left every class feeling calmer, more connected, and deeply nourished, and with a deeper understanding of meridian movement. Thanks so much Peti.Posted on Penny Foster6. August, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peti is a rare mix of qualities: caring with a real kindness and interest in others; deep knowledge of shiatsu, yoga, diet and wellness whilst also being open to learn from those around her. And finally she is super organised and can get things done smoothly. I was kind of a yoga virgin but I thoroughly enjoyed my classes with Peti and she helped me appreciate that it wasn't just about wearing stretchy hippy clothes but it's actually a good work out (especially if you're feeling a bit old n' creaky) and more importantly her sessions manipulate the flow of 'qi/ki' in your body thereby improving your health on a deeper level. You're in good hands with Peti. I thoroughly recommend her services.Posted on Rebecca5. August, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peti’s yogaclasses are really balanced and well adjusted to the group The classes make you happy, they have a good positive vibe! ☺️Posted on Andrée Felisatti13. July, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of wondering whether I should try yoga or not, I finally started with Peti. Despite my nerves, I felt immediately comfortable with her and, throughout the entire time, I ended up learning so much more than I thought I would: from the importance of breathing to how to truly listen to my body... After today, I cannot wait to discover more with Peti and I am so grateful to have found her! :)Posted on Liz Lazar28. June, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich durfte Peti bei einem Segeltrip kennenlernen und mehrere Yogastunden und auch 3D breathwork unter ihrer liebevollen Anleitung geniessen. Petis Yogasessions fühlen sich immer total passend an, intuitiv wählt sie Übungen aus und nimmt mit Bedacht Rücksicht auf (gesundheitliche) Bedürfnisse der Gruppe und achtet bei jedem Einzelnen auf die korrekte und schonende Ausführung. So sind ihre Sessions mit heilender Wirkung gestaltet, da Peti tiefes Wissen in Shiatsu und Körperarbeit vorweist und auch vermittelt. Ihre Yogaübungen weichen von den sonst üblichen 0815 Einheiten ab, fühlen sich leicht und gleichzeitig stärkend an. In angenehmen Tempo begleitet von sanfter Stimme und einem motivierenden Lächeln gelangt man in einem flow Zustand und wird am Ende mit Natur-Klängen belohnt. Man bewegt sich schonend und kraftvoll ohne gefühlter Anstrengung, vom Anfänger bis zu fortgeschrittenen Yogis, für jeden sind Varianten dabei. Ich kann Petis Arbeit jedem empfehlen, der bei sich im Moment ankommen, sich stärken, heilen und dabei entspannen möchte, eine perfekt ausgewogene Mischung. Ich hoffe noch viele weitere Sessions und Turns mit Peti geniessen zu können.Posted on Y15. June, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Petra is an amazingly warm person from which positive energy flows. She is kind and open, both to share her knowhow and her stories. Like many of us, she found herself in a bad place at some point in her life, but turned it around through holistic healing. Not only is she a good yoga teacher and therapist, but also an inspiration for us. A beam of light that shines through dark clouds. She is also constantly learning new techniques. I feel really lucky to have gotten to know her and will continue to work with her.Posted on callie paige11. June, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Peti and Flow De La Mar enough. I had a deeply meaningful experience with her during a shiatsu massage. At the time, I was recovering from a particularly difficult chapter in my life. Peti made me feel completely safe.She worked with remarkable care, precision, and empathy, checking in gently throughout the session and always ensuring I felt comfortable and supported. I am incredibly grateful for the space she held and the genuine compassion she brings to her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a gentle, trauma-aware approach to healing and wellbeing.Posted on Clemens Bernegger10.

FAQ
1. How does a Shiatsu session look like?
Each Shiatsu session begins with a short check-in ~ tuning into how you’re feeling physically, emotionally, and energetically. Fully clothed, you’ll lie comfortably on a soft futon as I use gentle pressure, stretches, and mindful touch along the body’s energy pathways (meridians). This practice supports the release of tension, restores energetic balance, and invites deep relaxation. After your treatment, you’ll have time to rest, with space for gentle reflection to support integration. Every session is uniquely tailored to your needs, creating space for stillness, healing, and reconnection with yourself.
2. What can Shiatsu help me with?
Shiatsu promotes deep relaxation, stimulates self-healing, improves circulation, and harmonizes the flow of energy.
