Shiatsu

Shiatsu uses gentle pressure, stretching, manipulation and acupressure to encourage the free flow of Ki (energy) in the individual’s body-mind.
When the Ki is stuck or unbalanced it can cause pain, repressed or excessive emotions.What Shiatsu is used for:

  • stress related problems
  • anxiety and depression
  • insomnia
  • pain (e.g. back pain, sore neck, shoulders ache, legs….)
  • stiff neck
  • tension
  • improving body mobility and flexibility
  • support with grief and other strong emotions
  • improving energy, vitality and creativity
  • improving digestion, menstrual health
  • support with fibromyalgia, sciatica, frozen shoulder
  • support with mental health (eg. Bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, etc.)

Barbara says: “Supporting my clients is my first priority so I often give them easy exercises – tailored to their needs – to enhance the effects of the Shiatsu sessions.”
