Aromatherapy :: Indian Head Massage :: Massage :: Reflexology :: Shiatsu
I am a Shiatsu practitioner based in Alderley Edge, Cheshire and I work a few days each month in Chiswick, West London. I also practise Aromatherapy massage, Reflexology and Daoyin Tao (a Chinese head, neck and shoulder massage).
Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. The treatment usually takes place at floor level on a futon. No oil is used and the client remains fully clothed. Shiatsu uses a number of techniques to works with Ki (vital energy) on a physical and emotional level. These range from gentle holding to dynamic stretches when appropriate. Shiatsu can help ease tension and stiffness, improve breathing, posture and circulation. It relaxes mind and body.
With Daoyin Tao the contact area is the head, neck and shoulders. The client lies down semi reclined on a massage table and a small amount of oil is used. Daoyin Tao combines the use of acupoints and modern massage techniques to release trapped energy and emotions. Daoyin Tao encompasses at a basic level the theory and philosophy behind traditional Chinese medicine.
Many clients comment that this is a "deeply relaxing" experience. Clients feel the effect throughout their whole body. Many say they feel "focused, energised and calmer" after a treatment. This treatment is popular with both men and women.
