How does reflexology work?
Reflexology helps all the body systems, stimulating an under-active area and calming an over-active one. This is acheived through the application of techniques that break down congestion or blockages which manifest in corresponding reflex points of the feet and hands.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork that promotes health by restoring the body’s natural harmony. Through gentle pressure, moving and stretching the body and holding acupressure points, Shiatsu helps to unblock, nourish and balance the flow of ki (energy), allowing healing to take place.


Based on the holistic approach of Chinese medicine, Shiatsu treats not only the symptoms but the causes of disease. It is a safe and gentle form of treatment that can assist with many common conditions including stress and anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, headaches and migraines, digestive disorders, PMT and menstrual problems, respiratory problems and musculo-skeletal conditions. Shiatsu is particularly effective at shifting and resolving blocked or suppressed emotions which can lead to tension and illness.

My approach to Shiatsu is to work gently, with compassion and without forcing. In my sessions I aim to create a safe place for my clients to allow them to deeply relax and let go. My experience has shown that when we feel safe, deep changes can take place, both physically and emotionally. I am continually amazed at the power of Shiatsu, and at what can happen when we stop pushing and allow ourselves to be guided back into balance through gentle touch.


I enjoy working with my clients to establish treatment plans, and to incorporate lifestyle and dietary recommendations to support the treatments. I am also trained in the use of moxibustion, cupping and gua sha which are excellent adjuncts to Shiatsu and which I incorporate into sessions where appropriate.
