Shiatsu

Shiatsu, originating from Japanese energy medicine, continues to evolve by blending East Asian medical theories with Western bodywork, anatomy, and physiology, creating an effective therapeutic practice.

Working along the body’s meridian lines (energy channels), Shiatsu considers a persons health as a whole integrated system. Each treatment is different and tailored to the client. 

A Shiatsu treatment will aim to restore balance, promote healing and bring a sense of calm to the receiver. 

During a treatment, thumbs, fingers, palms, elbows and feet may be used on specific points on the body, releasing tension and alleviating pain. Despite the simplicity, these movements can have a profound effect on the body at both a physical and subtle level.

You will lay on a Japanese futon to receive your treatment.

Moxibustion (a Japanese herbal warming therapy) cupping and GuaSha may be used within a treatment.

Cherie holds a Diploma in Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies obtained from The Australian Shiatsu College in 2013. This is a two year education and training in the theory and practice of Shiatsu and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

‘Having experienced my first ever shiatsu treatment with Cherie, I can honestly say my entire body has never felt so relaxed and rejuvenated. I can’t wait for my next session and highly recommend shiatsu to anyone looking for a calming and relaxing experience.
