Like most natural therapies, Kinesiology and Shiatsu are based on the assumption that the body is a self-healing organism, and that the role of the practitioner is to aid and support that naturally occurring process.
Kinesiology removes stress from the individual allowing them to move out of survival mode, they are then able to move foward.
Shiatsu can assist an individual with their self-development and self-healing; balancing the underlying causes of a condition and addressing physical and psychological functions; promoting health and strengthening the body’s own healing abilities.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a holistic healing art developed in Japan and based on traditional 3500-year-old oriental medical wisdom while incorporating the principles of anatomy, physiology and pathology. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine proposes that energy, otherwise known as “chi” “qi” (or “ki” in Japanese), moves through the body in well defined channels or pathways known as meridians. Each meridian is connected to an internal organ and carries the energy of that organ’s functioning. Good health is reliant upon the harmonious flow of chi through the meridians and internal organs.
I am now also offering Kinesiology balances to enhance your wellbeing. Kinesiology removes stress from the body through muscles monitoring, allowing you to move forward in life without the restrictions the stress was placing on you.

What are the benefits of Shiatsu?
Shiatsu is used to maintain and restore health. It is also an effective preventative therapy. People of all ages, including children, can benefit from treatments.
Shiatsu:- stimulates circulation
- strengthens the body
- promotes relaxation
- alleviates pain and discomfort
- supports the body back to its natural balance
Shiatsu is a total body therapy which effectively assists with a variety of conditions including: asthma and respiratory illnesses, depression, digestive disorders, constipation, irritable bowel, anxiety, pregnancy, menstrual issues, headaches, migraines, sports injuries, back, neck and shoulder pain, RSI, insomnia, fatigue, muscle tension, heart palpitations and stress.
Although the word Shiatsu translates literally from the Japanese as ‘finger pressure’, in practice, the thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet are used to apply pressure to various parts of the body. Pressure can be gentle or firm, depending on the condition being treated.
Treatment may also include the use of flowing stretches and gentle rotations of the limbs and joints, simple structural alignments and muscle release techniques. On a physical level this has the effect of stimulating circulation and the flow of lymphatic fluid. It also works on the autonomic nervous system; helps to release toxins and deep-seated tension from the muscles, and can also stimulate the hormonal system. On a subtler level Shiatsu allows the receiver to deeply relax, stimulating the body’s inherent ability for self healing and regeneration
The person receiving Shiatsu remains clothed, or is covered by a sheet and treatment usually takes place on a futon on the floor.
