Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.
Chair Shiatsu massage is a popular and accessible way of relieving stress and releasing tension. You receive your Shiatsu massage fully clothed in a specialized ergonomic chair which I bring to your location. This is a great way for businesses to take care of your employees and show your appreciation by offering this service to them in the office over a 10-15 min break. Chair Shiatsu massage can improve productivity by addressing aches and pains which distract us during our work day. Also, this is a great addition to any gathering whether it be bridal or baby shower, family reunion, or office party.
