Shiatsu is practical. It is carried out through full clothing, and so can be done anywhere.

Many of our registered practitioners have uploaded pictures of their treatment spaces on their Practitioner Profiles and this has made us curious to see more of your beautiful Shiatsu rooms!

Where do you offer Shiatsu treatments?

Ki (Qi) flows throughout the whole body through different pathways called meridians.

Each of the 12 meridians corresponds to a physical organ and is associated with different areas of the body, their functions and ways of processing vital energy.

Registered Shiatsu practitioners are trained to diagnose and treat Ki (Qi) imbalances at different layers of being.

Shiatsu is an effective, non-invasive therapy for managing anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body from "fight or flight" to a "rest and digest" state. Using rhythmic, gentle pressure, it reduces physical tension, lowers heart rate, and boosts "feel-good" neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Shiatsu takes a holistic approach to wellbeing by nurturing the mind, body and spirit.

Uniquely tailored to the needs of the receiver, each session is designed to foster a sense of calm and relaxation while regulating the nervous system and helping the body come back into harmony.

This Stress Awareness Month we're inviting you to Get in Touch with Shiatsu.

A pause is essential for wellbeing because it allows the mind to recover from stress, prevents burnout, and increases focus and creativity. By intentionally stopping, you can lower cortisol levels, manage emotional regulation, and make more intentional, rather than reactive, choices.

Emotional Benefits of Shiatsu:

Stress Reduction: Shiatsu lowers heart rates and blood pressure while reducing anxiety and tension, leading to a calmer, more present state.

Emotional Balance: It aids in processing emotional trauma or imbalances, such as grief (linked to the Lung/Metal element) or worry (linked to the Spleen/Earth element).

Improved Sleep: By calming the nervous system, shiatsu improves sleep quality and helps manage mental fatigue.

Enhanced Self-Awareness: Regular sessions encourage a deeper connection to the body, helping clients recognize, understand, and manage their emotional responses and needs.

Is you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, Shiatsu can help create a sense of calm and relaxation.
