Shiatsu or Reflexology designed for the time of year
A 45 minute treatment focusing on the Water Element from the Chinese cycle of life.
The Shiatsu treatment can be with or without oils (in the traditional Shiatsu way)
In Eastern philosophy your body has differnt needs tepending on the seasons of the year
In times when we lived more closely attuned to the natural rhythm of the seasons humans would also have followed these patterns. In our modern society most of us miss this opportunity to replenish our inner reserves. The festive season can be demanding physically and emotionally and then in January we’re inundated with messages to make goals, find our purpose, be more, do more! It’s no wonder we can feel depleted, overwhelmed and emotionally down at this time of year.
In Chinese Medicine Winter is associated with the Kidney organs and the elemental energy of Water. The Kidneys hold our reserves of energy and potential, like our internal batteries and require careful nurturing.
Kidney imbalance symptoms often show up this time of year – fatigue, lower back ache, anxiety and fearfulness, joint and bone problems, chest and lung congestion (the Kidneys support the Lungs), kidney /urinary problems, hormonal and reproductive complaints, hearing problems

What is reflexology?
Reflexology is the application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet.
These areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems.
Millions of people around the world use Reflexology to complement other treatments when addressing conditions like anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, headaches, kidney function, PMS, and sinusitis.
Reflexology symbols are thought to be recorded on the feet of statues of the Buddha in India and later China.
The Chinese classic, the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, which was written around 1,000 BC, has a chapter on “Examining Foot Method” and is the beginning of discussions in print about the connection of life force and points and areas on the feet.

Shiatsu Traditional Energy Therapy
Each session lasts approximately one hour. The first session may be slightly longer since your practitioner will make a detailed case history to develop a complete picture of your health according to the principles of oriental medicine.
The session usually takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu in a chair if you are unable to lie down. The client stays fully clothed. Following a treatment there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may feel invigorated yet relaxed.
Common conditions which have been helped by Shiatsu – Back pain, headaches and migraines, whiplash and neck stiffness, joint pain and reduced mobility, menstrual problems, digestive problems, asthmatic symptoms, sports injuries, depression. Shiatsu helps to relax the body, restores and balances energy, ease tension and stiffness, improve breathing, posture and
circulation.
Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions—from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health.
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent a build up of stress in our daily lives
The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki iin Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians.
For many different reasons energy can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom.. Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms that you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include
gentle holding and pressing on the meridians and where appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches. As the quality of energy changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being— not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.

Shiatsu Natural Face Lift
Natural face lift massage is a wonderful relaxing treatment that benefits your face and your whole body. A number of different massage movements are used, all of which work the skin and muscles of the face in different ways and levels, relieving tension in the muscles, smoothing away lines and bring elasticity and a healthy glow back to the skin.
The massage works on releasing deep seated tensions and freeing the layers of connective tissue so that facial muscles can relax easing restrictions and lifting up the face.
A sequence of acupressure points are stimulated during the treatment which not only stimulate the face but benefits the whole body as well.
The lymphatic system is stimulated during the treatment which helps reduce eye bags and puffiness around jaw line, eyes look brighter and the skin looks more radiant and refreshed.
No massage oils are used so it’s suitable for those with sensitive skin.
Results can be seen after one treatment but to fully appreciate the benefits of this wonderful massage a series of six treatments at two weekly intervals is recommended. Followed thereafter, with a monthly maintenance treatment.
