Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning “finger pressure”. Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic, deep tissue massage that assists in the resolution of muscle tension. Shiatsu is deeply relaxing, joints are mobilized and circulation is invigorated. Shiatsu combines well with and complements western medical treatments and herbal treatments.
Shiatsu treatments take place on a soft mat on the floor. Comfortable clothes can be worn. Medicinal liniments, Moxa,and Cupping can be used where appropriate.
Treatment duration may vary. Generally one hour is adequate. Stretching advice to complement the treatment is offered.
Shiatsu successfully treats:- musculoskeletal pain
- restriction in joint movement

- conditions aggravated by stress
Clients report:- increased energy and mental clarity

Naturopathy
Naturopaths assist you to heal the body faster and achieve a greater sense of overall personal wellbeing.
The process involves looking at you as a total person, what you eat, how you live, what are your stresses, what are your joys in life and investigate how they impact on your state of being.
By using traditional and modern methods including herbs, food-as-medicine, homoeopathy, supplements and massage Maureen will, with you, formulate a unique blend to engender a state of wellbeing.
The self knowledge created in this process will allow you to manage ongoing health concerns and care for yourself.
