Counselling and Shiatsu Therapy – Exeter, Devon

  • Shiatsu at St Thomas Community Festival, Exeter

    I will be offering Shiatsu taster sessions again at this years St Thomas Community Festival.  The festival is on Saturday 12th September from 12 until 6 in St Thomas pleasure ground, Exeter, Devon.  I offered Shiatsu at the first St Thomas festival 2 years ago & was so busy.  It was such a joy to give so many people Shiatsu.  

    I will be offering taster sessions for just £5 – even in a short session Shiatsu can be really effective & I had great feedback 2 years ago.  Because I was so busy I have asked a fellow practitioner to join me so there will be plenty of opportunity to get a Shiatsu.

    It is possible to book a session in advance so feel free to contact me if you want to book in before the date.  Contact details are on the contact me page.

  • Back practising Shiatsu in sunny Exeter

    I am back practising Shiatsu after a couple of lovely weeks off – spending time with my family & enjoying a slower pace of life.  As previously advertised I am offering a second treatment at half price if you book a first treatment this week or next week.  I still have some space available to take advantage of this offer.  Please call me to discuss on 07791 070837 or contact me through the contact me page.

  • Pregnancy & postnatal Shiatsu in Exeter, Devon

    Just to say that I have added a new page to this site with information about how Shiatsu can help support women going through pregnancy, labour & postnatally.  On the page there is general information about how Shiatsu may be able to help.

  • Summertime & the Shiatsu is easy!!

    Wow when it’s this hot there isn’t much that is easy! Unless you are lucky enough to be lounging by a pool with nothing important to do!! Even the simplest chores result in thoroughly unpleasant sweatiness & prickly skin! The summertime, when there is so much daytime & light every day, is when we can do lots of things, go to lots of places, socialise with friends & use lots of energy.  The weather, well maybe not when this hot, just makes you want to get out & make the most of each day.

    However it is only possible to exert ourselves this much when we have had enough rest, quiet & peace in the colder, darker months.  If we haven’t had this rest our bodies don’t always have the resources to do everything we would like to do in the summer.

    Shiatsu can help restore the energies we are using up in our daily lives, it can give a sense of motivation & direction & invigorate the client.  It is great for giving a feeling of ‘rightness’ which allows us to just get on & enjoy ourselves, work towards what we want to achieve & make the most of this amazing time of year! So if you feel like you don’t have the resources to enjoy the Summer as much as you would like, or you find that your energy goes very quickly, you may want to try a Shiatsu session with me.

    My Shiatsu practice is in Exwick, on the north west edge of Exeter, in Devon. At present I am not working the Exeter City centre as well but hope that I will find the right place soon & start working in the centre of Exeter too.  All my contact details are on the contact me page & im happy to discuss any questions, just call or email.

  • Shiatsu practice Exeter

    I am feeling really happy today after giving an impromptu shiatsu treatment to a lovely pregnant Exeter lady.  I always feel lucky to work on a woman at such a special time.  The baby moved a lot as I gave the Shiatsu & then fell asleep along with the mum at the end of the treatment.  It was a shame to have to wake them, at least the mum!

    Being a Shiatsu practitioner gives me an opportunity to work on so many different people & I feel so privileged.  Every Shiatsu is different, even with the same client & should meet the needs of the client at that time on that day.  The lady today felt relief from the strain the extra weight was putting on her body & she felt a stronger connection with her baby.  It was great to be able to do that for someone using Shiatsu.

    If you want to know more about Shiatsu then please contact me – details on the contact me page – I practice in Exeter, Devon.

  • Shiatsu guinea pigs – Exeter, Devon

    I am wanted to practice some Shiatsu techniques & am looking for people who may be interested in being guinea pigs for me to practice on.  I have some Shiatsu techniques that I haven’t used for a while & I would love to have some bodies to reacquainted myself with these movements.  So free Shiatsu treatments are available if you are in the Exeter area, or can make it over here, on a Wednesday morning or a Saturday morning. It is first come first served so pleease contact me if interested. The treatments will both meet the needs of the client as well as giving me the time to practice! 

  • Simple ways to gain balance

      

  • Finding time for Shiatsu

    Wow it seems that in Exeter, as everywhere else, people have lives that are non-stop & so, so busy. Such a demand is put on us, from so many angles, there is no time to recover & recuperate & review.  We seem to have got it the wrong way around! If we find peace & calm, space & rest then we have more resources & energy to make the most of our time, loves & lives. 

    Shiatsu is an opportunity to step out of life for a short spell.  It can give you more energy & a sense of deep rest.  This in turn can give more clarity, focus & determination; to find space to stop, even for two minutes; to make the most of the experiences you encounter; to give a sense of direction, to help achieve what you want to achieve. 

    As I have two small children I find it hard to find time to give Shiatsu!!!! I am aware that a lot of people in & around Exeter would love to have a Shiatsu treatment in the evening. At the moment I can’t offer Shiatsu at this time but as soon as I can I will do so.  In the meanwhile I do offer Shiatsu, in my practice in Exwick, Exeter, on every other Saturday morning.   I have a few people who relish these appointments, at the end of their working week. If you are interested in booking one of these appointments then do contact me.  Details are on my contact me page.

    Here’s to a little peace & catch up time for us all! 

  • Shiatsu at Respect Exeter 

    What an amazing, vibrant & exciting festival Respect Exeter is.  We are so lucky to have such a friendly & happy free festival in the city.  We managed to get there both yesterday & today & I finally managed to have a Shiatsu myself today! It was so lovely to lie & relax whilst someone else gave me nurture & support through touch.

    I was jealous that there were people giving Shiatsu & at the moment I am not in the position to do a full day.  It was so great to see so much Shiatsu yesterday – a lot of the proceeds were going to Shelter Box for Nepal & I heard that a lot of money was raised for the cause.

    It was great that Exeter people were able to get a Shiatsu treatment so cheaply & for such a great cause, I was so pleased that the beauty of Shiatsu was being promoted.  I just hope that I’m involved next time.  My two boys need too much of my time at the moment but as they get bigger I can get out there more often & for longer. I can’t wait.  As always I am looking forward to Respect Exeter next year & hopefully they’ll be lots of Shiatsu again.
