the treatment
A treatment lasts one hour, with the initial consultation taking up to an hour and a half. This enables me to ask you some questions about your health to give me a better picture of how shiatsu might be able to help.
Generally shiatsu takes place lying down on a futon but it is incredibly adaptable. The key is to be comfortable and so you can be seated if lying down is not suitable and you remain fully clothed. It’s best to wear loose clothes for comfort. The treatment involves attention to the whole body, through hands-on massage and stretches.

what happens after the first treatment?
Everyone generally feels more relaxed, less ‘in their head’, more aware of the rest of their body and connected up. Sometimes deeply restful, sometimes full of energy this depends on what the body needs to do.
Some people have regular shiatsu as part of their approach to maintaining health
and a more relaxed life, others for help with specific symptoms. I would say allow
for two treatments as a minimum so that you can see how your body responds. Together
we
would discuss a treatment plan and any recommendations.
