Shiatsu

Everyone suffers from pain, fatigue or tension at some time or other. Regularly recurring complaints can be extremely tedious. Especially if it is unclear what the cause is. Shiatsu is bodywork in which gentle pressure is exerted on the body. Whereby your energy can flow unimpeded again, so that you feel relaxed and healthy once more.

How does it work
According to Eastern medicine, our body has an extensive system of energy flows, also called meridians. The meridians are related to our body functions and organs. If there is a disruption in the energy flow, this can lead to various complaints. The purpose of shiatsu, is to restore balance. In this way, body and mind are encouraged to heal.

Shiatsu & cranio
Cranio is a gentle and subtle form of listening touch. It also helps to regulate your nervous system, allowing you to relax on an even deeper level.

How does a session go 
We start with an exploratory conversation in which you can tell me how you are doing and what you would like to get out of this session for yourself. A shiatsu session consists mainly of bodywork. You lie on a massage table with a soft topper. Touch, with respect for your boundaries, helps you to relax. From this space you can feel better what needs attention. If you wish, I can guide you in exploring the meaning of this, so that you get a different perspective of yourself and the theme that has received attention.
