Shiatsu
Developed in Japan it is a style of bodywork which helps to promote health & well being by harmonising the body, mind and spirit. Shiatsu draws upon the the principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine and literally translated from Japanese, 'shi' means finger and 'atsu' means pressure.
The health and harmony of our minds and bodies depends upon the optimum flow of life energy - 'Qi' and Blood - 'Xue', which travels through many pathways in the body. Areas of the body that can become deficient of blood and energy soon give rise to overactivity within another area resulting in muscular tension, stress and blood stagnation. To rebalance and restore harmony within the body a series of compressive techniques using palms, thumbs, fingers, knuckles, elbows or feet may be used. Shiatsu does not require the use of oils and is usually performed fully clothed on a futon mat on the floor therefore comfortable, loose, cotton clothing should be worn.
Shiatsu affects all internal organs, muscles, ligaments, joints, nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Conditions that may respond well to Shiatsu include: high/low blood pressure, depression, anxiety, fatigue, arthritis, pregnancy, allergies, migraine, overuse injuries, postural imbalances, stress, muscular tension, insomnia and gynaecological problems.
Remedial Massage
Assessment of the soft tissue followed by application of specific techniques using a variety of approaches such as breathing, slower tempo and rythym using fingers, thumbs, knuckles and elbows, incorporating trigger point therapy and myofascial release techniques to relieve muscle tension and soreness as well as restoring the return to range of movement of the joints.
Relaxation Massage
A full body massage using long, rhythmic strokes including gliding, kneading and compression of the soft tissue using oil which is great for stress relief after a busy week at work, a great pick me up in times of low energy or as part of a regular time out just for you.
Mobilisation & Stretching
Used to reset the muscle tone. It helps to lengthen muscle and tendons which increases flexibility and prevents pain and injury and promotes blood circulation.

Testimonials:
"That night when I went to bed I felt some pressure in my lower back, but not like a painful concentrated spot, it was more like a larger area of pressure, admittedly there was some discomfort with this pressure in my lower back. Next day, no headache, no neck stiffness, no knots and no pain. Today I went to the gym and sweated heaps, like a dripping tap. I don't know where all that sweat came from. Unusual as I only did my usual workout. ......I look forward to my next shiatsu treatment." Lucy, Pascoe Vale.
“I visited Marie not really knowing what to expect but remained open minded to a shiatsu massage. I left the massage feeling lighter and four days later, I still feel great. I would definitely recommend Marie to anyone thinking of an alternative to physio or remedial massage.” Heidi, East Melb.
