what is shiatsu?

shiatsu (japanese: shi = finger, atsu = pressure) is a form of manual body therapy developed in japan that has its roots in chinese medicine (TCM).  

 

holistic & the human being in the center...

in a shiatsu treatment, the flow of energy in the body is regulated, blockages and tensions are released, areas lacking energy are strengthened. this can activate our self-healing process. with a holistic approach, a shiatsu treatment has a beneficial effect on body, mind & soul.

 

shiatsu for the promotion of quality of life

shiatsu strengthens the differentiated body perception and the connection to oneself. physical well-being, among other things, in the form of calmness and relaxation can be created. space is created for new and/or rediscovered insights and perspectives. shiatsu enables access to one's own strength and vitality.

my style

my 4-year training as a shiatsu therapist focused on zen-shiatsu, which is still the basis of my shiatsu treatments. in addition, i integrate osteopathy techniques (on the level of bones, muscles, fascia & organs) and, depending on the needs, methods from pain therapy. due to my many years of yoga and MBSR experience, approaches of yoga therapy & mindfulness training play a central role. my knowledge from the application of positive psychology and focusing also supports me in the work of complementary therapy.
