Shiatsu Therapy is a traditional hands-on healing therapy originating from Japan.  Touch, stretches and acupressure points are used to strengthen the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself.

Shiatsu works on the whole person – physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual – and seeks to address the root causes rather than simply the symptoms.  

Unblocking and balancing the body’s natural energy helps the mind and body to relax, diminishes pain, increases vitality and can promote healing.  Shiatsu can be beneficial in helping you cope with a wide range of conditions or simply enjoyed for deep relaxation and to increase your sense of well-being.

Debbie Heaney, our Shiatsu Therapist is a graduate of the Shiatsu College, Brighton; and is a member of the Shiatsu Society UK and bound by their code of ethics.  Debbie is available at Luck’s Yard on Mondays.

At your first appointment a full history is taken to establish the overall picture of your state of health.  This helps to determine a treatment plan.  Treatment takes place on a futon on the floor, and each session is tailored to the individual.  

You will remain fully clothed, so please wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a clean pair of socks.  Please do not eat a heavy meal or drink alcohol before your treatment.
