Energy dictates the form of everything…
It is a scientific fact that energy, dictates the form of everything, not only in our body, but also nature as well as the whole universe.
Shiatsu treats the whole person and not only a symptom and is therefore considered to be a therapy, rather than a massage technique.
An estimated 72,000 energy channels keep us alive, keeping all aspects of our body healthy, balanced and functioning optimally.
Shiatsu treats the whole person and not only a symptom and is therefore considered a therapy rather than a message.
When there is disbalance in these channels of vital life energy, which are called meridians, the function and the form of the material body changes, eventually leading to symptoms of disease and malfunction.
If you open up your head, you will not find the mind.
If you open up your heart, you will not find love, passion and creativity.
In the same way if you open up your body, you will not find the vital life energy channels.
Yet we all experience the fluctuations of our minds.
We have all felt the power of love and the desire to be creative, passionate and caring towards others.
However the meridians in your body can be felt and a decade ago, a Japanese man developed a highly sensitive instrument, which could measure the electrical current in a meridian.
From 1993, I have developed the ability and sensitivity to feel and influence these channels of energy, bringing relief to hundreds of people.
Although you may sometimes (often?) feel as if you have no energy, your body is in fact made up of energy. What you do with your energy dictates the way you feel, the quality of your life and the relationships you have with others. Shiatsu literally means ‘pressure point’ in Japanese. By applying pressure to a point on one of the many channels of vital energy flowing through your body, the flow of energy is stimulated and stagnant energy is unblocked. It is rather like a blocked river, where there is too much water in one place, and less in another. The energy in the body operates on exactly the same principle; where the energy stagnates, the body becomes weak and painful, and the likelihood of dis-ease is increased.
Private treatments
These treatments can help to deepen your level of self-awareness, affording greater insight, and helping you to develop further. A private shiatsu treatment lasts 90 minutes, which includes 15 minutes at the beginning to discuss any dis-ease, and 15 minutes at the end of the treatment where I will give you advice and/or exercises according to what I feel you need at that moment. SHIATSU is officially recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Health as an important method of healing.
