Areas of SpecialityI look forward to addressing any concerns or problems you have, and have been lucky enough to help many people with a myriad of conditions.
I am a member of BackCare and specialise in postural realignment and work involving the deep core muscles which can often eliminate back problems. I also have extensive experience and interest in working with any reproductive issues.
I practice a combination of Shiatsu techniques developed from training with many respected worldwide Shiatsu teachers.
About Shiatsu4Life Bodywork
Shiatsu Bodywork is a powerful and dynamic bodywork therapy which can
help you to unlock long-held tension, stress and pain by realigning and
releasing your body. This liberates your whole system, giving you
increased energy, reduced pain, a clutter-free mind, more motivation
and a greater sense of wellbeing.
My approachMy approach is practical, compassionate, non-judgemental and professional. I will not ‘blind’ you with theories and I won’t lecture you about your lifestyle choices. I will however, give you a great treatment that is appropriate to your needs and give you realistic, achievable advice to help improve your wellbeing. I believe that we can all benefit from the therapeutic value of touch and I want you to leave my treatment room feeling as if you have been unwound and released.
Everyone has a story to tell and that’s what makes us all interesting and unique. I recognise that your story is important to you and it forms who you are, where you’ve come from and how you got to where you are now. Through the transformative power of Shiatsu coupled with personalised recommendations and advice, I would like to help you to rewrite your story with a new, positive one that you’ll want to shout about from the rooftops.
What can I expect? The treatment takes place in calm, light and airy treatment room on a futon or a massage couch depending upon what is most appropriate for you. You will remain fully clothed throughout the session. I will then carry out a bespoke treatment based on your needs, which will incorporate stretching and gentle manipulation techniques, application of pressure and soft-tissue releases.
Treatments are as individual as the receiver, but Shiatsu is always characterized by a deeply connected and focused sense of touch, helping you to relax, release, and enjoy an hour of ‘you time’.
About meMy practice and treatments are informed by over 15 years experience in the healthcare sector, which has given me great insight into many aspects of wellbeing and a great understanding of how the body works.
I gained my Shiatsu Diploma from the British School of Shiatsu after three years of study and continue to attend Post-Graduate courses to enrich my knowledge. I regularly practice yoga and meditation to further my own development.
I am passionate about Shiatsu Bodywork and have seen first-hand how it can be the catalyst to transforming people’s lives, especially those people that are prepared and ready to accept change.
