What is shiatsu?

Benefits of Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing, clothed bodywork therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Using gentle pressure on energy lines and points (meridians), stretches and holding techniques, Shiatsu supports the body’s natural ability to heal. It can ease physical tension, calm the nervous system, and help restore emotional balance. I specialise in supporting women with stress, hormonal changes, menstrual issues, anxiety and sleep difficulties — though Shiatsu is beneficial for anyone wanting more connection, peace, and vitality.

What happens in a session?

Shiastu is a fully clothed, hands-on therapy given on a comfortable futon at floor level. At the beginning of each session, we’ll take a few minutes to talk — so I can understand how you're feeling and what you'd like support with, physically or emotionally. From there, you’ll lie down (usually on your back or side) and I’ll use gentle pressure, stretches, and stillness to work with your body’s energy. You might feel a deep sense of calm, warmth, or gentle release as I hold or move certain points. There’s no need to “do” anything — this is time for your whole system to settle and reconnect. Every treatment is unique, depending on your needs that day. Most people leave feeling more grounded, lighter, and more at home in themselves.

What some clients say about their shiatsu sessions.

Many of my clients come to Shiatsu feeling stressed, depleted, or simply in need of time to reconnect. Others come with specific symptoms such as back pain, anxiety or sleeping problems. Here’s how they describe the experience.

Sarah really helped ease a lot of pain after a traumatic birth, she also helped pain in my wrist when I couldn’t put weight on it and helped treat cluster migraines I was having. Its always a very calm, considered and relaxing treatment.

E.H.

I have seen Sarah on many occasions now over the last 10 years and every time the session is so relaxing and healing.
I recently went to see Sarah again as I am recovering from a serious health condition and was struggling with a lot of stress and tension in the body following a period of time in hospital. The session really helped release so much of the tension held in my body with a lasting effect. It also helped me release a lot of emotional trauma associated with the experience of being in hospital. S.P.

Sarah has a precise; yet very gentle touch which makes for a nourishing treatment.
I felt that my body and it's needs were fully tended to. This allowed me to feel safe and comfortable to try and fully relax in her presence.
An absolute boost!
