Benefits of Shiatsu

Featured
Relaxation
Relaxation

Most of us carry more stress than we’d like to. A Shiatsu treatment is an opportunity to step out of the daily grind and enter a state of deep relaxation. Muscular tension is relieved, optimising a period of rest.

Circulation
Circulation

Massage encourages blood flow and lymphatic drainage, working to carry metabolic waste from muscles and internal organs, which can reduce swelling and lower blood pressure.

Balance
Balance

At its foundation, massage encourages the body’s optimal functioning, aiding its own constant efforts to maintain a natural state of equilibrium. A Shiatsu treatment provides supported space for internal recalibration.

Digestion
Digestion

External movement and manipulation encourages the internal. Massage can support healthy gut function, relieving symptoms of constipation and bloating, alleviating associated pain and discomfort.

Regulation
Regulation

It’s amazing how fast our minds can work, even - sometimes particularly - when our bodies are still. The gentle rhythm of a Shiatsu treatment grounds the mind and allows for a quieting of that internal chatter.

Sleep
Sleep

Shiatsu treatments can encourage a deeply relaxed state that is conducive to better sleep, boosting levels of melatonin and helping to reset circadian rhythms. Sessions model habits for optimal sleep hygiene and act as a gentle reminder to prioritise rest.

About Me

I work with clients along the East Sussex coast, covering Hastings, St Leonards, Battle, Rye and nearby areas, offering Shiatsu to support your physical, mental and emotional well being.

Since qualifying as a Shiatsu Practitioner in 2006 my practice has evolved through many different iterations, ranging from clinic-based work to home visits.

My own experiences of pregnancy, loss, childbirth, and motherhood have informed a specialist interest in women’s health, with a particular focus on using massage to support others through pregnancy and beyond.

I’m also particularly passionate about supporting our neurodivergent community, and the benefits of acupressure and bodywork in aiding emotional regulation and inner quiet.
