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. By following the rhythm of the body and feeling where stagnation is in the connective tissue, the body is invited to occupy the maximum space possible. Cranio helps regulate the 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. The bodywork consists of shiatsu, cranio sacral techniques and fluid work. In this, you lie on a massage table with a soft topper. During the touch I invite you to sink deeper into your body. Your body and mind come to rest and this stillness creates space. From this space you can feel better what needs attention. I can guide you in exploring the meaning of your complaint so that you can get a different perspective on yourself and your complaint, but you don’t have to. That way, you can really be in touch with yourself.
