  • Shiatsu for Friends & Family – Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu for Friends & Family – Exeter, Devon

    I use Shiatsu on myself, my husband & children regularly. Not just for relaxation, although it’s great for that. My boys are noisy, energetic & enthusiastic so sometimes it is hard for them to settle at the end of the day.  It is a pleasure to give them a Shiatsu & watch them visibly calm down, breathe more deeply & slow down.  They often talk to me after a Shiatsu, or we play quietly together.  They also sleep well.

    I use Shiatsu on myself to help when my mind is racing, I can slow myself down & think more clearly. I use it to help with digestion & menstruation. I have always suffered with painful periods & uncomfortable digestion, I can manage both a lot better with Shiatsu. I also use Shiatsu to support my motivation & mood.  I have in the past become stagnant & stuck in a rut but now I cam more adaptable & flexible & can make changes with more ease.

    Obviously I am a fan of Shiatsu, I studied it for 3 years, alongside full-time work.  I can also pass on tricks & tips that I have learnt to help other people support their health & the health of their family.  I often give recommendations at the end of a session, lifestyle & diet options.  I also offer ideas of stretches or exercises that may help support their condition, complaint or their well-being.

    I can offer longer Shiatsu appointments, at my home practice in Exeter.  These can include a full Shiatsu treatment plus guidance on ways to support you & your loved ones.

    I’m off to stretch now, to help my circulation & to aid my sleep tonight. xx

  • Shiatsu Event – Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu Event – Exeter, Devon

    Excited to be attending my first event of the year in just a couple of weeks time.  I’ll be offering Shiatsu taster sessions at the East Devon Mind, Body, Spirit event on Sunday February 18th.  The event is going to be held in Broadclyst, at the Victory Hall. The venue is near for Exeter folks & there is plenty of free parking.

    If you have been reading my blog & wondering what Shiatsu is then a taster is a great way to find out what this hands-on therapy involves.  The tasters will only be £10 but 20 minutes long, plenty of time to get an idea of Shiatsu.

    The Shiatsu tasters will be given on a massage chair, that supports your whole body, its relaxing & comfortable.  Normally Shiatsu is given on a futon mat on the floor but can be given on a couch or on a massage chair.  Shiatsu is always given through clothes.

    Do come & say hello if you are in the area on the 18th.  If you are struggling to feel energized in this cold, wet weather then come & get a boost of energy with a Shiatsu taster.

    Information about the event and the full list of exhibitors can be seen here

  • Shiatsu Support – Exeter, Devon

    So very excited to receive a large parcel in the post today.

    I was pretty upset when my trusty, but bottom of the range, massage chair broke just before Christmas. I was in the middle of a session of Shiatsus for the hard working staff at my son’s school. I had to give some of the Shiatsus to people whilst they sat on a normal chair. Hardly relaxing, having to support yourself, rather than leaning into a comfy chair.

    Since the breakage I have been searching for a replacement. I was close to purchasing a replacement of similar quality to my original when I stumbled across a hardly used, top of the range chair.

    I am super happy & have tried it out on my family already. It’s really comfy & easily adjusts to fit any shape or size of client.

    So watch out for upcoming events as I will now be giving Shiatsu on this beauty of a chair.

    My next event is in Broadclyst, near Exeter – details can be found here

  • Sunshine & Shiatsu – Exeter, Devon

    What a lovely morning today, here in Exeter (shame about the really rotten, wet, windy & cold afternoon.)

    The sun shone down on the wooden cabin & streamed in through the windows.

    The birds came out & enjoyed themselves, just outside the shed window. They were chirping & twittering, eating the seeds we had put out for them & hopping around to get the ones that had dropped to the floor.

    It was a really joy giving treatments this morning. The shed was warm & cosy & listening to the birds was perfect.

    What a pleasure giving such relaxing & nurturing treatments in such a perfect atmosphere. I definitely felt lucky that I do what I do!

  • The Shiatsu Shed – Exeter, Devon

    It was a cold, dark day in Exeter today but the Shiatsu Shed was warm & cosy.

  • Shiatsu in the Winter – Exeter, Devon 

    Shiatsu in the Winter – Exeter, Devon 

    We are having quite a winter, so far. It was so dark & cold today, just right for staying indoors, for resting, for hibernating.

    Chinese medicine suggests this is exactly what we should be doing at this time of year. Reserving our energy, our vital energy. If we work too hard & do too much through the winter months we use up our core energy & risk not having enough energy to make the most of the spring & summer.

    Shiatsu can help give a well-needed energy boost at this time of year. It can warm the whole body & get the energy & blood moving well. It can encourage deep rest, relaxation & sleep. All which can help manage in the cold winter months.

    I work in Exeter, in beautiful Devon. I can discuss the cost of a treatment if needs be, as January can be a tough month.

    You may want to check out my Facebook page. Also the Shiatsu Society website has information about Shiatsu as well.
