Cathy has studied both in Japan and Australia and is an accredited member of the Shiatsu Therapy Association of Australia. She has also been trained in two styles of Japanese needle therapy and is a Japanese registered Toyohari practitioner.
Cathy is passionate about shiatsu and has had experience working with a wide range of clientelle from the elderly to infants. Her sensitivity and communication skills make it possible to adjust her touch to the individual need’s of her clients whether that be gentle or firm pressure.
“You deserve to make the time for yourself to experience the deep sense of relaxation and body awareness that shiatsu can provide.”
Shiatsu
WHAT IS SHIATSU:
A form of traditional Japanese acupressure massage, which incorporates gentle stretches and joint rotations. It’s theoretical roots are from Traditional Chinese Medicine so it is both therapeutic as well as deeply relaxing. The aim of shiatsu is to clear stagnation and rebalance the qi (energy) flow that is responsible for nourishing the musculo-skeletal as well as all our bodily functions (blood, gas, air and water).
In a shiatsu treatment at any one time, 2 hands are on the body. The giver hand (the one doing the work) and the receiver hand (the one doing the support, feedback and listening). So thru constant re-assessing from my feedback hand and yourself, you can be reassured that the touch you will receive will be safe, comfortable, and relaxing. This touch facilitates relaxation and a greater body awareness thus enabling you to feel and let go of any tension. Harmony is then restored to the mind, body and soul.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing
“Feeling your body is not the same as thinking. Our world today already requires us to spend far too much time thinking. So shiatsu could be a space where you feel warm, natured, safe and time out from your normal daily life. “
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING & AFTER THE TREATMENT:- Less muscular and mental tension
- Greater range of mobility
- Pain to subside or disappear
- To feel deeply relaxed and increased body awareness
- If you are hyperfunctioning (Overactive) you may feel a little tired after the treatment as shiatsu has tried to nudge you back to balance.
- If you are hypofunctioning (Underactive) then shiatsu will stimulate your body and you may find you have more energy.
“Regular shiatsu is a preventative medicine as the effects are accumulative”“
