  • Money off March – Shiatsu, Exeter, Devon

    Just a reminder that I have a Shiatsu special offer on this month. I now work on Tuesday afternoons, as well as my regular Wednesday afternoons & evenings & Saturday mornings. To celebrate I am offering 10% off any Shiatsu massage booked on a Tuesday afternoon, in March.

    Shiatsu massage is suitable for all, it is tailored to the person so can feel like its really ‘hitting the spot.’ I have had clients come for a whole variety of reasons, physical discomfort or pain, emotional distress or personal issues, mental support & pre-natal support. Shiatsu can be effective at relieving many different symptoms. I am always happy to talk Shiatsu so do get in touch to discuss, through the contact me page.

    Shiatsu massage is relaxing but also invigorating. I work in a quiet & calm practice room in Exwick, Exeter, Devon. It is is really easy to get to, by car, bus or train. If nothing else Shiatsu massage is some time out, some ‘me time’ & a chance to just be. If you are free on a Tuesday afternoon then may be its time to try it out with this offer? 

  • Spring, Shiatsu & some sun!

    Spring, Shiatsu & some sun!

    March 1st yesterday is supposedly the first day of Spring –  the weather wasn’t having it – it was cold, damp & miserable. Today the weather was playing ball, it was sunny & warmer & felt very Spring like. We managed to make it to the allotment even, & planted some potatoes.

    It’s so lovely to have some warmth in the air. The seasons feel like they are really starting to change & this is such a special time of the year. A time where we come out of Winter & into Spring.

    Spring, within 5 elements, one diagnosis tool of Shiatsu massage, says that Spring is a time for planting ideas, for planning & scheming. It is not time to act or to expect fruition of our ideas. It is in the Summer that our ideas will begin to realize.

    If we have had enough rest in the Winter Spring is a time of fluidity & flow, like a tree moving gently in the wind. The opposite is a feeling of being stuck in the rut, or a sense of tightness, frustration & anger.

    Shiatsu massage is helpful, it can help give a sense of flow back to the body & mind. It can give a good sense of rest & can can help release anger or frustration. If you would like to discuss if Shiatsu massage could help support you then please get in touch, through the ‘contact me’ page.

    So the weather was lovely today but another wet & cold weather front is due over night, so not quite Spring yet & still time to rest!

  • Supportive Shiatsu massage, Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu is different every time, it isn’t a set massage that follows the same routine each time. Also as Shiatsu massage is given on a futon mat on the floor it is possible to move the body a lot & have the client in various positions including on their side.

    This is a very supportive & often comfortable position for a client. A common comment is that this position is like being in bed, that it’s the position that they sleep in. It is a great position for working with hip issues & also working lower & upper back issues. It is particularly good for shoulder pain or tension.

    I practise Shiatsu massage in Exwick, Exeter, Devon. I work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s & Saturday’s. You may like to like my Facebook page for events & offers. You can contact me through the ‘contact me’ page. 

  • Shiatsu at work

    A lot of us spend a lot of our time at work, it can be tiring, stressful & highly-pressured. A lot of employers have recognised the importance of supporting their staff, providing perks & taking care of the well-being of their workforce.

    I have given Shiatsu in a couple of work environments & it is welcomed strongly – both by staff & managers. Shiatsu massage is relaxing but also invigorating. So there is no risk of staff being too tired to be productive after a massage! Staff are more likely to be motivated & focussed, as they may experience more of a sense of flow & ease thanks to the Shiatsu. 

    Staff feel cared for, they have some time out, they also may feel more motivated. This is great news for employers, potentially a more productive workforce, happier, energized & driven. It’s not a lot to organise either, just need willing & interested staff & a space big enough to fit a massage chair. The employer needs to be willing to allow their staff a 20 minute break at the time of day the Shiatsu is taking place. The employee then gets 20 minutes out of the day, paying just £10. The employer may consider paying or subsidising this fee, which ever way around it is a really affordable cost.

    If you are interested in exploring this idea then do get in touch – through the ‘contact me’ page. I work in the Exeter area, in Devon. I would be willing to travel if the interest is there. 

    To give you an idea of Shiatsu on the massage chair here are some photos from a past event.

  • Shiatsu, motivation & support

    We are now nearing the end of February, already. The year began, for a lot of us, with good intentions, resolutions, focus & commitment. How are those resolutions now?! It is easy to begin new things, there’s an impetus & drive. As time goes on it can become difficult to stay focussed, things get in the way & energy wanes. It can feel like the focus has gone or that daily life is such a grind that there is no energy left to push for change to happen. 

    Shiatsu is a quiet therapy, that gives the client space to breathe & relax. At the same time it can rejunivate & kick-start the energy flow in the body. When the energy is flowing freely & smoothly anything is possible. Shiatsu massage can give a great sense of energy, focus & drive back to the client. The client can feel a sense of support & holding that allows them to push ahead with whatever they want to achieve. 

    If you feel that you may benefit from a supportive, invigorating & energising Shiatsu massage then do get in touch, though the contact me page. I also have a Facebook page that you may want to like, for offers & events. You may also want to visit the Shiatsu Society website for more info on Shiatsu.

    I practice Shiatsu massage in Exwick, Exeter, Devon & I work Tuesday afternoon’s, Wednesday’s & Saturday morning’s. Do get in touch with any questions or to book.

  • Shiatsu on a Saturday?

    I offer Shiatsu massage on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s & Saturday morning’s. At the moment the most popular day is Wednesday. At times Saturday’s have been incredibly popular & I can understand why – our jobs & lives are so busy & there are so many demands on us. At the end of a tough week a Shiatsu is a great treat. 

    If you are interested in taking advantage of the lull on Saturday’s then do get in touch. As is always the case the ebb & flow will change & it’ll be another day that is my quietest. Contact me through the contact me page.

  • Quiet & calm Shiatsu treatment room

    My practice room in Exwick, Exeter, Devon is perfect for a relaxing & calming Shiatsu massage. It is a quiet part of the city, so little noise from outside. It is cosy & warm room, with plenty of cushions & blankets if needed. Come & try it out. Shiatsu massage available every Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon & evening & Saturday morning. Contact me thriugh the contact me page.

  • The gentle art of Shiatsu 

    Shiatsu is a gentle form of massage. Sometimes it may feel like there is little happening.


    Shiatsu massage is also powerful at the same time. The client can feel great results, a deep sense of relaxation, it can also feel invigorating & energising. It can do a lot with a gentle & soft touch. When appropriate Shiatsu massage also involves stretches & joint rotations. For more information have a look at the pages on this site or go to the Shiatsu Society website.

    You can contact me through the contact me page with any questions or to book a Shiatsu massage. You can also like my Facebook page for details of events & special offers.
