  • Shiatsu in Exwick, Exeter, Devon

    We arrived home in the middle of the night, after our holiday. I was very pleased to be home but have to admit my heart sank as I remembered all the work & effort it takes to keep on top of the house, following the tornado that is my two sons.

    The next morning I stepped out of the house, into the garden & through to the shed, which I use for Shiatsu & my husband uses for meditation teaching.

    It was such a lovely, grounding feeling stepping into our work space. I felt so lucky to have such a peaceful place to practice.

    Also it’s a space to step away from the chores & chaos of family life. It allows me to come back to an inner quiet, a stillness, that brings everything into perspective.

    The shed is the perfect environment to relax & be treated in. I love giving Shiatsu in there. It is easy to be in a quiet & gentle space in a quiet & gentle environment.

    I am finding that my practice is more confident & focussed, now I have a space that is mine. I am able to listen & follow what I pick him more quickly.

    I have been treating lots of people who live in Exwick, which is a real pleasure. Some people can walk for a treatment, or it’s just a short drive, no need to rush into town. It feels very special to treat the people who live close by, & to support the community where I live.

    September brings more opportunity for Shiatsu for me. Both my boys will be at school so I will be offering Shiatsu across the week.

    I’m hoping to be giving lots more Shiatsu in the beautiful space we have created.

  • Shiatsu at St. Thomas Festival, Exeter, Devon

    I’m back at the St. Thomas festival this year – offering Shiatsu taster sessions for just a few pounds. I love this community event, giving lots of Shiatsu to local people. I am generally pretty busy so it’s worth coming over early & booking a time slot.

  • Shiatsu in Exeter, Devon

    After a great week camping I am recharged & back ready to give Shiatsu this week. I have spaces on Monday & Wednesday in Exwick, Exeter.

    I am around this week & then we are off again! It’s always a bit like this in the school holidays, being the only times we can all have time off together.

    So if you need some rest & relaxation, some stretching & loosening, a bit of an energy boost this week then get in touch to book. Alternatively you could book for the end of August, so you know there is something to look forward to.

  • Shiatsu for the Whole Family, Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu for the Whole Family, Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu is great for the whole family, meeting the client how they want to be met, treating each one as an individual & adapting to their needs. It is a gentle & non-intrusive form of therapy. It is always given through clothes which can put a lot of people at ease, particularly children. There is no undressing or awkward moments.

    Shiatsu is an enjoyable, relaxing treatment to have, it may not always feel like a lot is happening but the results can be really good. However it can also be great at getting into that tension, loosening those shoulders & giving the joints a good stretch. Every session is different, even if it was the same client two days in a row. A Shiatsu practitioner reacts to what they feel as they move around the body & what is needed to support the client at that time.

    Each member of a family is in a different place & has different needs, Shiatsu can meet these needs. It is not only relaxing but energising, so can provide the whole household with more drive & motivation. It can ease tension, both physical & mental, which can create an open atmosphere where discussion & expression can take place.

    A good Shiatsu leave you feeling like you have been listened to, that you have been held for a moment, that you feel back in balance. This can be so helpful when you are in a position of supporting others, mother, father, carer. It can be easier to nurture others when you have received a little nurture yourself.

    There are many stresses & strains put on children these days that can take a toll. Generally Shiatsu has a good result on children, their energy flows quickly & they react very positively to the gentle Shiatsu re-balancing them. They can feel relief & release of symptoms often more quickly than adults, who may have more chronic conditions.

    It is a real joy to watch a family be relaxed & open to each other, after they have all been treated. It is possible to arrange home visits to treat the whole family. Individual members can also come to my practice in Exwick, Exeter.

  • Shiatsu & Healing, Exeter, Devon

    Saw this today & thought yep.

  • Shiatsu in Exeter this week

    So I am heading towards holiday season, I’ve taken some weeks off with the family. This week though the kids are still at school & I’m still offering Shiatsu in Exeter, Devon.

    I have some spaces this week so thought it would be good to get them filled but to also offer £5 off any appointments booked before midday tomorrow.

    I have appointments available on Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon & one in the evening on Wednesday. Any of these spaces can be booked for £5 off.

    It has been a hot & full on Summer so far & this can take a toll on our core energy. I am noticing clients who are really pushing through to get things done. Treatments have been supportive & grounding this past week. Rebalancing the body to give a better flow of energy, raising the energy levels. Maybe this is you, it’s an hour well spent, having a Shiatsu to get you back in shape.

    I’m acutely aware that a lot of people have their kids off school soon. Amazing to get to spend so much time together, but not much chance of a breather. So this week’s a great opportunity to get a supportive & relaxing Shiatsu in before it all starts.

    Shiatsu is suitable for all & can help with physical issues, pain, emotional & mental concerns & distresses.

    I’m always happy to talk Shiatsu so do get in touch through the’Contact Me’ page with any questions.

    Have a good week

  • Too hot for Shiatsu? Never! Exeter, Devon

    I was at the Newton St. Cyres Revels today. A lovely village event just outside of Exeter.

    The man on the stall next to me said he phone was telling him it was 30 degrees. If didn’t put off lots of people attending the event & I ended up giving a lot of Shiatsus.

    As is nearly always the case I didn’t manage to get anyone to take photos of me actually giving Shiatsu but I did take some photos of my set up looking good in the beautiful sunshine.

    I treated a whole number of different people, most who hadn’t even heard of Shiatsu. There were a number of people who would struggle to afford a full Shiatsu so what a great to be able to give them support & nurture.

  • Shiatsu on Sunday, Exeter, Devon

    On Sunday there is another opportunity to have a Shiatsu taster. I will be at Newton St. Cyres Revels from 12 till 5. It’s the first time I have attended this event but it looks lovely. A proper village fair with stalls, activities & events. Details of the event can be found here

  • Shiatsu Today, Exeter, Devon

    What a day today. First it poured down.

    Myself & my colleague sat in the gazebo watching & wondering if it would ever stop. It normally rains quite a bit in Devon but it has been very dry for a long time, we took some pleasure that the plants were being fed.

    Then almost suddenly the sun came out & we were in business.

    We ended up giving quite a few shiatsu tasters. We were giving 30 minute tasters which isn’t far off the length of a full session. This meant we could really support & nurture the clients, & get into their tension & releasing a fair amount of it.

    A good day in the end 😁
