KIND WORDS FROM THE HEART
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.
