The word Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure. A 5000 year old Japanese healing art.

This ancient massage technique is based on the acupressure system of points and meridians. Shiatsu treatments work directly on the meridian lines where the acupressure points lie. These points are the same as the points used in Acupuncture. These meridians are the channels of human energy also known as Chi or Qi that circulate through the points in specific anatomical patterns. They function to nourish the internal organs, muscles, nerves, vital centers of the body. Oriental medicine sees the human being as inseparable, one, without divisions between mind, body, and soul. A Shiatsu session treats the whole body as well as the specific problem areas.

Comfortable pressure is applied to all parts of your body using pressure of the hands, thumbs, elbows, knees and even feet. I focus on stimulating the key points of the body that stimulates and boost your bodies natural self-curative abilities in a very compassionate, gentle yet effective manner.
