Rachel Murphy Shiatsu

Rachel Murphy Shiatsu Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese hands-on healing therapy that works with the whole person, using meridians and acupressure points.

Shiatsu supports a sense of general wellbeing; it helps to relieve stress and tension, improving vitality and health and strengthening the body, mind and spirit. It can help in a wide range of conditions – from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health. Through our session, we will explore what your body is calling out for. Discomfort, tension and pain are often ways our bodies com

municate to us. Shiatsu is a way of exploring that pain and finding where you may need to be held, met, challenged or supported. I am a fully qualified Shiatsu practitioner from the Bristol School of Shiatsu, and have been practicing in the UK for the past three years.

A beautiful reminder to let go where you can… and we’re in the season of letting go 🍂

A beautiful reminder to let go where you can… and we’re in the season of letting go 🍂

Life becomes beautiful when you learn to let go.

Not because you stop caring about the people you love, the dreams that inspire you, or the future you hope to create.

But because you stop carrying the weight of things that were never meant to live in your heart.

Life feels lighter when you no longer worry about the opinions of strangers.
When you stop seeking approval from people who do not truly know your story.
When you stop comparing your journey to the carefully edited moments others choose to share with the world.

You begin to realize that much of the pressure you carried was only an illusion.

The moment you stop trying to fit into every crowd, you start finding the souls who genuinely understand you.
The moment you stop chasing perfection, you begin to appreciate the beauty of growth.
The moment you stop giving power to every opinion, rumor, and passing drama, you finally hear the quiet wisdom of your own heart.

And suddenly, life becomes an adventure once again.

You laugh more freely.
You smile more sincerely.
You embrace opportunities more courageously.
You speak your truth with kindness.
You express yourself without fear.
You follow the paths that call to your spirit.
You become the person you were always meant to be.

Because you are no longer living as a performance for others.

The truth is, every person is carrying their own hopes, fears, and dreams. Most are far too busy navigating their own lives to spend much time judging yours.

So stop waiting for permission to live.

Dance if your heart feels the music.
Travel if your soul longs to explore.
Build what you dream of building.
Capture the moments that move you.
Start the conversation.
Take the chance.
Follow the dream that keeps calling your name.

Life is precious.

One day, many of the worries that feel so heavy today will fade like footprints washed away by the tide.

The embarrassment.
The criticism.
The judgment.
The endless opinions.

All of it will pass.

But the sunset you stopped to admire,
the friend you called,
the kindness you shared,
the places you explored,
the memories you created—

those will remain in the story of your life.

So cherish the present moment.
Love deeply.
Move freely.
Explore curiously.
Create fearlessly.

Because life becomes truly extraordinary when you stop holding on to everything that does not genuinely matter, and start embracing everything that does.

Shiatsu is magic! I love exploring holding two pressure points and feeling the electric energy open up and flow between them. Today I’ve had two clients feel significantly better and more uplifted through mostly just holding various points, and the energy shift feels like magic. It’s in the stillness and the holding where deeper healing can happen, not the big stretches.

My friend with the crook back that’s been causing him absolute agony didn’t need his heavy pain killers, or any pain relief for that matter, and moved with ease. My client just now seemed like a different woman after her treatment. I love this work! ✨💫

Shiatsu is such a beautiful, safe way of supporting your body during the different stages of pregnancy and postpartum. It also makes a wonderful nourishing gift for a special someone you know who is pregnant.

Experiencing digestive problems? It’s worth looking at HOW you eat, not just what you eat.

Shiatsu can also support digestion. I offer ampuku massage (abdominal massage) and can help to strengthen your stomach and spleen energy.
