More about Shiatsu Massage Therapy

Shiatsu is a Japanese word which translates as ‘finger pressure’. A Shiatsu treatment works with acupressure points, gentle stretching, movement and joint rotations to regulate the nervous system, address areas of imbalance and allow flow back into the body and mind.

Scientific research is increasingly proving the essential connections between mind and body and western medicine now embraces the wisdom behind this natural healing. The result? Touch therapies such as Shiatsu have become a key in helping relieve and prevent a range of physical, emotional and psychological conditions.

Testimonials


I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful Shiatsu treatment.  It has really freed up my body especially my jaw and neck as well as giving me a bit of a detox which was very useful.  Everything feels more fluid and energised in a relaxed way. I slept brilliantly for the following nights – in fact it’s still working. I am feeling so much calmer and able to deal with the daily stresses.

Jenny offered Shiatsu to the participants of my bi-annual meditation retreats on Holy Island. Her one-to-one sessions garnered glowing reviews and were an important part of keeping these retreats so embodied and healing. Not only that, Jenny’s crucial support and co-facilitating on these courses became a crucial source of inspiration for me as the course leader and increased the feeling of safety and support for all the participants. Jenny is an inspiration for collaborative work and a potent bringer of embodied wisdom to retreats.

Thank you, Jenny. Our appointment yesterday has made my back feel better than it has in years – no pulling or tightness, just so relaxed – and my shoulder feels completely better! I’ll take it easy on both, but wow!! Lying in bed last night was more comfortable than it’s been in years. Thank you so much – I had no idea it would work so quickly, and so visibly.
