The spontaneous movement in all of us is toward connection, health, and aliveness.

Shiatsu Therapy

Our bodies carry memories with them: stories of joy, pain, love, and loss. Prolonged stress, life-altering events, or unprocessed emotions can leave traces in the body, showing up as pain, tension, or fatigue with no clear physical cause.

Shiatsu is a form of manual therapy that works through gentle pressure and touch. For me, this isn’t about treating a complaint. It’s an invitation: to become present to what’s living in your body, and to gradually reconnect with it.

Trauma-informed, not symptom-focused

Trauma-informed Shiatsu isn’t about making a symptom disappear. The focus is on slowing down and carefully attuning to what your body can take in at that moment. Together, we start from what you want to get out of the session for yourself, that intention stays the guiding thread. I bring my expertise, but you’re the one with the most direct knowledge of what’s happening inside you.

How it works

In Eastern medicine, the body is seen as a network of energy pathways, the meridians, connected to the organs, the nervous system, and the emotions. Unprocessed experiences and unconscious patterns can disrupt this natural flow.

Through gentle pressure, mobilizations, and craniosacral listening techniques, more room can open up to feel into what’s alive in you. Not to force or “fix” anything, but to support a greater sense of presence and a deeper connection with yourself.
