Shiatsu Massage 

When you book a shiatsu massage, you can choose from 60, 90 and 120 minute sessions.

My value-driven pricing means that the longer you book, the more affordable your treatment becomes per minute, making it easier to prioritize your self-care and wellbeing.

Shiatsu's distinctiveness lies in its focus on energy channels and acupressure points, unlike conventional massages that focus more on muscle tissue and relaxation techniques.

Good to know: it is always possible to combine shiatsu with other massage modalities on the mat. It blends particularly well with Dynamic Thai Yoga Massage.

Opt for comfortable, loose clothing as Shiatsu is performed with clients fully clothed.

While Shiatsu involves pressure, it should not be painful. The therapy is about finding and releasing tension in a nurturing way.

Absolutely! Shiatsu can be effectively combined with other modalities, like Thai Yoga, to cater to your unique needs.

Shiatsu should be used with caution for conditions like serious diseases, cancer, early pregnancy, acute illnesses, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and when treating the elderly or debilitated individuals. Always discuss any health conditions with me prior to starting your massage. For an extended list of contraindications, see the FAQ

Honestly, its hard to say.

Every person is unique and every condition is unique to each person.

It may take one session to work on a condition, or it may take several.

You and I will be able to talk more specifically about this after your first session and I’ve had a chance to evaluate your body's tissues and condition.

Individual preference varies, so for most it depends on your pain, physical needs, emotional needs, and of course, budget.

Receiving a massage regularly has the most benefit; this can be as often as weekly, monthly or with the change of the season. If you are just looking for some occasional relaxation, then a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you.

However, if you are looking to address a specific condition, then it is recommended to go more frequently at first and then slowly taper down to a maintenance schedule.

Keep in mind that you may require multiple sessions to experience relief. Some people benefit from a massage treatment once per month, while others require weekly treatment to see improvement.

It’s important to be realistic about what one massage treatment can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. But the science behind massage therapy highlights the importance of gradual, consistent treatments rather than relying on high pressure in a single session to address muscle tension and knots effectively.
