Zen Body and Breath

Align your innate healing potential

Shiatsu is very relaxing and helps the receiver align with their innate healing potential.  From muscular and tendon pain, restricted movement, and tension from stress, to issues sleeping, digestive discomfort, and anxiety from trauma, Shiatsu can help the receiver heal from a variety of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues.  Based in Chinese medicine and informed by Western anatomy, physiology, and psychology, Shiatsu works to improve the communication pathways within the body by releasing tension and harmonizing with healthy function.  

Shiatsu originated in Japan and is practiced clothed on the floor.  A mat and bolsters ensure the receiver's comfort.  The primary technique focuses on providing relaxed pressure to the receiver's body from the giver's hands.  Other techniques include joint mobilization, assisted stretching, deep breathing, and abdominal massage.  

When trauma is stored in the body it can cause many serious health issues: autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and cancer.  Shiatsu can help the receiver process trauma with simple visualization and gentle touch techniques.  The receiver will no longer have strong emotional reactions to the event and their body will finally be able to relax and heal itself.  

The client-practitioner relationship is foundational to the healing process.  Instead of reacting to symptoms with a specific procedure, the practitioner uses their senses of perception to listen to the client's body and find the appropriate quality of touch to bring about healthy change.  The compassion, intuition, and sensitivity of the practitioner help the client relax, be heard, and amplify their healthy resonance.  

Although you will experience improvement from the first session, several weekly sessions will ensure the issue is fully addressed and healthy functioning is reinforced.  Shorter sessions are effective and economical for average budgets.  Call today and discuss how Shiatsu can help you!
