  • What does a Shiatsu involve? Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu is a relaxing but energising treatment. It is a hands on therapy given through clothes & on a futon mat on the floor. Although it can be given on a chair or couch if it maybe difficult to get down or back up from the floor.

    Shiatsu is an all over body treatment, it can be focused specially on one area of the body. Similarly the whole body can be treated from one area. Each treatment is specially tailored to that person on that day. Every Shiatsu is different.Shiatsu massage uses the same points & meridians, lines of energy, that acupuncture uses. Shiatsu looks to balance the energy in body. This balance can ease pain, symptoms & provide support.
    Clients have mentioned that they feel more energy after a treatment, that they feel more focussed & have more drive, that they have had relief from symptoms, that they have slept better, needed the loo less, had better joint flexibility.Shiatsu is a safe & secure environment & is totally confidential. It can help support emotional distress, stress, anxiety & depression. I have clients who have come with work related stress & also people who are going through big changes in their personal lives.I work in Exwick, Exeter & I’m also happy to discuss Shiatsu so do get in touch with any questions, through the ‘contact me’page.

  • Shiatsu for joint pain, Exeter, Devon

    I have been able to help various clients with pain in their joints.

    Shiatsu is a form of therapy that can help issues in many different ways & meets the client where they want to be met. Sometimes it is beneficial to really work the joints, using stretches & rotations.

    Sometimes it’s great to get into those big joints & relieve the tension.

    Other times it is not appropriate to move the joint too much, maybe to avoid inflammation. Then gentle quiet work can be given.

    Joint pain can be really uncomfortable & painful. It often becomes chronic & people adapt their lives to be able to cope with it.

    Some of my clients have found that Shiatsu has given them some relief from the pain, some support with the mental strain & has relieved some of their symptoms that caused the distress.

  • Can Shiatsu massage help with stress & Anxiety? Exeter, Devon

    Can Shiatsu massage help with stress & Anxiety? Exeter, Devon

    Yes is the simple answer. Shiatsu is a supportive & secure hands on therapy & creates the right environment for supporting clients who have feelings of anxiety or are suffering from stress.

    We hold our stresses in our bodies & Shiatsu massage provides a space where this can be felt. It doesn’t have to be discussed it is simply how it feels. Getting this sensation can allow the tension, stress & anxiety to release & the body to relax. Where the body goes the mind follows.

    There is some research of what Shiatsu can be good for. This link gives info on what benefits can be gained from a Shiatsu massage. This link provides information on the current research regarding Shiatsu.

    If you think Shiatsu may be of help to you do get in touch – though the ‘contact me’ page. I work in Exeter.

    Wishes to you all for a relaxed evening & a peaceful night’s sleep.

  • Introducing Shiatsu to Devon! 

    Introducing Shiatsu to Devon! 

    I spent the whole day at a lovely fair in Budleigh Salterton giving tasters of Shiatsu massage today.

    Tasters are the perfect way to give people an idea of what a Shiatsu involves, particularly as it’s a very affordable way to get some massage. 

    Shiatsu is a powerful form of therapy & can have quite an effect in a short period of time.

    I really believe in Shiatsu, enough to complete the 3 years of training, so I love letting new people know about it.

    There were some great comments from people who had tasters, they felt relaxed but with more energy, their tension had eased dramatically, their pain had eased, they thought it was quite an amazing taster.

    A day like this is worth the hassle of trying to get out of the house, endless final kisses for the kids, lunches for everyone ready, everything I need for the day crammed in the car, only having to come back to get one thing I’d forgotten! 

    I felt so energised from the day that I whizzed through my chores when I got home & had plenty of energy to spend some fun time with my boys.

    I hope that the people I treated all went home with the energy to achieve whatever they wanted/ needed to do.  Got to love Shiatsu.
