Shiatsu Massage
gentle, but powerful healing art
Shiatsu is a gentle, yet powerful healing art originating from Japan. Touch, movement, and stretching encourage balance and change in the body’s “ki” (or energy). When our ki flows freely, our mind and body can relax. As a result, pain is diminished, vitality is increased, and healing is promoted.
Shiatsu massage stimulates the energy pathways, called meridian channels, using gentle pressure of fingers and palms (and sometimes elbows and knees), while gently stretching the body. The receiver remains fully clothed and lies on a futon on the floor.
Tania is skilled in a branch of shiatsu called Shintai, pioneered by Saul Goodman. It is influenced by kinesiology, cranial osteopathy, and physiotherapy. Tania uses this treatment to realign the vertebra, restore movement in the body, unwind the fascia, and encourage self healing.
Tania is also qualified in Reiki 2, for hands-off energetic healing. Tania brings this into her shiatsu treatments.
Shiatsu can help to ease or even cure a wide range of symptoms. It is particularly helpful in easing stress related conditions, releasing tension and promoting deep relaxation.
How can Shiatsu help me?
Shiatsu treatments bring about deep relaxation and can be profoundly
calming and peaceful, which in turn helps to stimulate your self healing
abilities.
Shiatsu is also very effective in relieving a wide range of conditions (as demonstrated by recent research available at www.shiatsusociety.org)
Shiatsu is More Than Just a Massage
Shiatsu is so much more than a massage as it works directly with your energy. It is non-intrusive, yet highly effective at resolving energetic imbalances or energy blockages that have been caused by stress or trauma.
