Shiatsu is a very supportive & nurturing form of hands-on therapy so can really help support a client suffering from Stress, Anxiety, Depression or other mental strain.
As Shiatsu is a hands-on therapy it approaches the situation from a different angle to ‘talking therapies.’ Our bodies hold our stresses & strains, whether physical, mental or emotional. Rather than talking through their concerns a client can relax & feel how they feel. Physically working the body can lead to emotional release & relief, that maybe harder to come by through talking or discussion.
Shiatsu provides a safe & open environment that allows a client to relax & just be. There are no expectations or demands. The space is held for the client to explore how they feel, to the extent that they feel happy to.
I offer Shiatsu in Exwick, Exeter, where I have a wooden cabin in the garden. Every other Friday I work in Dawlish at a lovely space called The Studio. Then once a month I work at The Sol Shop Treatment Rooms in Exmouth. I work most days of the week now although I still look after my youngest son & do the school run. I have some evening appointments available & I work some Saturdays.

It is very accessible. It is generally given on a futon mat on the floor. I also have a couch & a massage chair so if the floor is difficult then there are other options. Shiatsu can be given with the client lying or sitting in any position, allowing the client to always be comfortable. It always given through clothes but still provides a strong connection & satisfying massage.
Shiatsu provides a safe touch, which allows the client to quickly drift into a deeply relaxed state. As it is a safe & secure form of therapy it can allow a client to explore their emotional or mental balance, feeling this through their bodies rather than thinking or talking it through. This can allow tension caused by stress, depression or anxiety to be released.
Shiatsu is tailored to suit that client on that day, which can make it a satisfying form of therapy, meeting the client how they want to be meet. It is a gentle but powerful form of therapy, although it can be more physical when appropriate, including stretches & rotations.
Shiatsu uses the same Meridians (lines of energy) in the body that Acupuncture uses. We also use the same pressure points on those Meridians. We use massage techniques to work the Meridans & points to help the body to regain balance. When the body is in balance symptoms can ease, energy levels can rise, stress & anxiety can fall away, sleep can become deeper & healthier. The body can feel like everything is working as it is supposed to, there is more flow & fluidity physically, mentally & emotionally.
