  • Flu, colds and Shiatsu- Exeter, Devon

    Flu, colds and Shiatsu- Exeter, Devon

    The beginning of his year started with me recovering from the flu – that lots of people seemed to have had

    Often with colds and flu I find my self drawn to cleaning and organising activities……

    I go with this within reason!  – as this is a helpful activity for the Lung and Large Intestine Energies

    I find I have clearer thoughts and a better mindset after a good cleaning session…..also bringing the heart rate up, which cleaning can  do, is also helpful or these energies

    Do you find you clean or organise after a cold?

    Do you have other habits you find helpful?

    As a Shiatsu practitioner I am always looking to build a picture of my clients and often help….

    These habits will fall right into the bigger diagnostic picture……or be helpful for the imbalance being experienced!….

    I’d love to hear what habits you find yourself doing….and I’m very happy to provide feedback if you’d like it…..why you may have the habits you have ……whether they are supportive or possibly showing an imbalance

  • Shiatsu in the new year

    Shiatsu in the new year

    Happy New Year everyone. I’m back giving Shiatsu after a quiet winter break

    I hope for balance this year – juggling priorities is not my favourite pastime. I am promising myself spaces and to gently manage my family/ work/ life commitments!

    Let’s see how it goes….

    What do you hope for in 2023 – any gentle letting go you can do? – any focus you can listen to?

    There seems to be so many people starting the year with flu. Recovery-wise Shiatsu is helpful for fatigue and muscle aches and pains. It’s supportive and nourishing so great to help get back up and going.

    I’ve got my usual offering available – Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening.

    I’m always happy to chat Shiatsu so do get on touch by email – amyhinkswright@yahoo.co.uk or through the contact me page.

    Here’s to a good start to 2023

    Shiatsu and Counselling- Exeter, Devon

    So this photo is me walking to my course – 4 weeks to go till the end of year one. Feels like yesterday that I was starting out…..

    I have learnt so much, about another therapeutic way to support people, about myself.

    It has informed and deepened my Shiatsu practice. My Shiatsu has informed and supported my way of being whilst learning.

    I am looking forward to next year when I begin my practise hours but not looking forward to my last essay and prepping for my competencing to practice test.

    Here’s to new things – new challenges – shifts and changes – endings and beginnings

  • Shiatsu for Christmas? Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu for Christmas? Exeter, Devon

    I decided it was time to get some proper, business-like, gift vouchers. I’m really pleased with how they have come out and I hope people will be pleased to receive them.

    I can send these beauties out – to the purchaser or the gift receiver. I can also send electronic vouchers out.

    I often ask for treatments for birthday or Christmas and think a voucher is a lovely present.

    Vouchers can be for any denomination – so you can ask for a voucher and then the buyer can decide what they can afford.

    If you are interested in buying vouchers or would like to know more about Shiatsu do hey in touch. I have a contact me page or you can call 07791 070837

  • Untitled post 2575

    Is the crazy wet and windy weather and damp covering of leaves reflecting your emotions and life right now?

    You can join the club if it is!…..

    I am definitely feeling shifts of energy – unsettled at times – exciting at times – feeling like there is a chance of change or transition – feeling tricky as well

    The Shiatsus this week seemed to be about being still in amongst the storm – feeling nourished and warmed – finding peace in stillness – trusting your own feelings and thoughts……

    Pretty cool really!

    Maybe it helps to hear that if you’re feeling it then others are too!

    Take care all – in the tumultuous weather and time

  • Shiatsu and Chronic Fatigue, Exeter,Devon

    Shiatsu and Chronic Fatigue, Exeter,Devon

    I have been working a lot with people with Chronic Fatigue, post viral fatigue, long Covid, Fibromyalgia and MS like symptoms.

    It is often sad and sometimes heartbreaking to hear the limitations that conditions involving fatigue have put on clients lives.

    Clients have often got very good at pacing – managing their time and tasks. They have learnt what exercise works for them.

    But they are often fed-up. They’ve had enough of managing. They may feel frustrated or even angry.

    Shiatsu, in my experience, can really help people’s energy levels and start to get them feeling more like themselves. They don’t need to work so hard at everything and can begin to plan and see beyond the relentless pacing and managing.

    It’s really cool watching people feeling mentally happier and physically stronger.

    Shiatsu is a really subtle, but pretty powerful form of therapy. It may feel like not much is happening in a treatment but by balancing the energies in the body Shiatsu can relieve symptoms and boost energy levels.

  • Shiatsu Open Day – Exeter, Devon

    Shiatsu Open Day – Exeter, Devon

    I’m having an open day on Tuesday 4th October.

    What this means is 30 minute taster sessions all day for just £10.

    I get frustrated that Shiatsu isn’t as well known as some therapies and that people don’t know what is involved or the benefits of this amazing therapy.

    So every so often I do these open days. They give people a chance to see what it’s all about. What I’m like as a practitioner. Whether Shiatsu might help them.

    The taster sessions are taking place at my home practice in Exwick, Exeter.

    My Shiatsu space in Exwick Exeter

    My space is warm and cozy now the days are drawing in. Plus it’s amazing what can be done in even a short session.

    I am asking people to call or message to book. My number is 07791 070837. You can email me on amyhinkswright@yahoo.co.uk or contact me through the contact me page.
