Welcome to my Website 

I offer "Shiatsu for Wellbeing" in Ledbury, Herefordshire. Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy your journey exploring my world of Shiatsu.

Shiatsu is an oriental therapy based on acupressure - acupuncture without needles. The quality of "shiatsu-touch" is relaxing, calming and quietens the mind. It helps to re-align the body's natural inner energies which can improve physical and emotional symptoms and helps you feel more "at one" with yourself.

Traditionally, Shiatsu incorporates gentle stretching to release joint and muscle stiffness, and I also use "resistance" and other techniques to improve the body's flexibility and structural integrity. Clients say the effect is like "massage",  but with movements and pressure points rather than massage strokes.

My style of shiatsu has evolved over many years into my own unique way of working, incorporating techniques and principles gained from a range of different teachers, 

I am currently exploring the system of "extraordinary vessels", which "gather and weave" Ki energy. This way of working is particualrly helpful after a traumatic experience or during life transitions such as bereavement, divorce, menopause, retirement and times where you feel your normal way of coping with life is challenged.

Sessions last about one hour & 15 minutes, which gives us chance to talk about the issues you are dealing with as well as give you a full-body shiatsu. The approach I take will depend on your needs at the time, so no session will ever be the same.

I work on a massage table or on the floor using a futon, which is traditional in Japan. You are fully clothed, and will be most comfortable in soft, stretchy clothing.
