the treatment
A treatment lasts one hour, with the initial consultation taking up to an hour and
a half. This enables me to ask you some questions about your health to give me a
better picture of how to approach the shiatsu.
Generally shiatsu takes place lying down on a futon but it is incredibly adaptable. The key is to be comfortable so you can be seated if lying down is not suitable and you remain fully clothed. It’s best to wear loose clothes for comfort.

what happens after the first treatment?
After shiatsu many clients describe being less ‘in their head’, more aware of the rest of their body and feeling ‘connected up’. You may feel a little more tired, or energised depending on your body's needs as you respond to the treatment.
A few tips for making the most of the shiatsu:
- Try and take it easy if you can
- Follow what your body seems to need (e.g. rest if tired)
- Be accepting of your emotions - releasing energy can bring
things out
Together we would discuss any recommendations. These are always simple and realistic, fitting in with things you are able to do. Some people have regular shiatsu as part of their approach to maintaining health and a more relaxed life, others for help with specific symptoms.
