Shiatsu is a unique form of bodywork that provides the satisfaction of touch along with a profound energy-balancing experience. It is based on thousands of years of eastern philosophy and methods of healing. In Eastern philosophy there are meridians or pathways within the body that channel the Ki energy - our life essence. We experience this energy in the form of movement, communication, respiration, digestion, thoughts, feelings and spirituality. Any blockage or stagnation of energy within the meridians can result in physical, psychological and emotional disease. Shiatsu removes this stagnation and balances the energy.

Clients receive Shiatsu fully clothed on a futon on the floor. The benefits of a Shiatsu sessions include relief from physical symptoms of stress, deep relaxation, a more complete connection of mind, body and spirit, greater self- and body-awareness, inner peace and an increased mastery of your own health and well-being.
