Shiatsu and Mental Health

I use kindness and listening to create a safe place to talk and receive body work – this is sometimes the only place they receive any physical touch.

Shiatsu – A Way Of Life

Shiatsu can do a lot to benefit people and provide personal autonomy. No tools – just our hands. It’s incredible! If one day we find that we have to look after ourselves, Shiatsu will come in handy.

Supporting Psychotherapists and Counsellors with Shiatsu

Therapists take care of others, hear their stories and support them in their difficulties. Receiving Shiatsu creates more balance in the giving and receiving of support.

Shiatsu for Mental Health & Cancer Patients

Shiatsu alleviates pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. This reduces the need for pain medication and improves patients’ quality of life
Care Homes

Shiatsu and Dementia
