ABOUT JO

SHIATSU
Shiatsu is a holistic Japanese Healing Art, which means ‘finger pressure’. It was developed in Japan as a harmonising therapy to promote health and wellbeing and has its origins in Traditional
Chinese Medicine.
Shiatsu’s purpose is to detect and diagnose the blockages and imbalances in the flow of Ki. Pressure and contact is applied to acupuncture points known as ‘tsubos’ and along the meridian lines familiar to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Palms of hands, thumbs, fingers, forearms, knees and feet are used in combination with stretches and gentle rotation of limbs to activate and support the body’s natural energy flow.
Shiatsu can help these conditions:
Asthma; Bronchitis; Sinus; Back, Neck and Shoulder pain; Sports injuries; Muscle tension; Sciatica; Arthritis; RSI; Fatigue; Headaches; Migraine; Depression; Anxiety; Stress; Insomnia; Menstrual problems - Menopause, PMS; Cold and Flu symptoms; High Blood Pressure; Digestive problems.
While also:
Stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic system, elimination of toxins, promotes relaxation, strengthens the body, alleviates pain and discomfort, clears blockages, balances Ki and stimulates the body’s own healing powers.
TRADITIONAL THAI
The origin of Thai Massage is interwoven with the history of the Thai people and the development of their unique culture and traditional values, dating back to more than 2500 years ago in India by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the physician to Buddha. Thai Massage diverges substantially from Indian massage techniques, also similarities to Japanese Shiatsu and Chinese Tui na massage. The beauty and uniqueness of Thai massage is the sitting and hand position when applying pressure and in smooth sequence transition. As with shiatsu, Thai massage uses palms of hands, thumbs, fingers, forearms, elbows, knees and feet in combination with stretches and gentle rotation of limbs to activate and support the body’s natural energy flow.
Benefits of Thai massage are similar to Shiatsu
(Refer to benefits of Shiatsu...)
What to wear?
A Shiatsu or Thai treatment is designed for the individual’s needs and the treatment is performed on a soft futon on the floor through clothing. Thus, loose and comfortable clothes, preferably of natural material are best suited during appointments.
How many treatments do I need to feel better?
After just one session you will feel a difference in your wellbeing, relaxed yet revitalised. Depending on your complaint, after a number of sessions you will notice a profound difference to your health, state of mind and general well being. You may then need occasional upkeep treatments of once a month or so.
The ultimate aim is to restore balance, strength and harmony to all levels of your being- physically, psychologically and spiritually and to sustain it. Proper breathing, exercise and a healthy diet are also part of maintaining the energetic balance.
Other techniques such as gua sha, moxibustion, sotai and corrective exercises may also be incorporated during a treatment.
THERAPEUTIC / RELAXATION/DEEP TISSUE
Jo’s Therapeutic massage is an intuitive therapy where she works using gentle to firm hand techniques, movements, stretches and pressure points to release the body/mind of tension. Each treatment is designed for the individual’s needs which may incorporate a combination of essential oils and vibrational essences with the massage oil, and crystals/stones within the therapy.
VIBRATIONAL HEALING
Vibrational Healing is intuitive based healing working with my higher self, channel information, where by I may use essential oils, colour, crystals, gemstones, music and vibrational essences to support and promote the clients healing. The aim is to rebalance the energy fields; chakras, aura, meridians and restore order from a higher level of physical functioning, lifting consciousness to a new level of spiritual awareness.
The healing assists the person in correcting inner dysfunction, relief in times of emotional stress, gain clarity and peacefulness with a sense of inner well-being and to also gain insight into periods of transition. And combining healing with massage, it connects the mind to the body and helps to ground the individual within the physical.
VIBRATIONAL ESSENCES
I recommend my personally made Vibrational Essences to support the healing of the individual and also enhance personal development. Essences are a form of very subtle healing that work on energy centres of the human body balancing and harmonising energy flow. They are effective in removing negative thought patterns, blocked energy, negative emotions and releasing past traumas.
Essences are also effective in supporting and assisting people to move forward in more positive ways eg, with increased courage, clarity or peace of mind. Using vibrational essences can be a gentle, yet effective way of bringing balance into your body healing issues and patterns that are often below consciousness to bring lasting change. Working on a subtle level essences assist in removing negative emotional and mental habits clearing the way for a more positive relationship with your body.
