The Healing Power of Shiatsu: How it Can Improve Your Well-Being

Shiatsu does not cure health issues in the conventional way. As a Shiatsu practitioner, I look at the whole body. My focus in Shiatsu is to balance the energy in the body so that clients feel more relaxed, easing symptoms and making them disappear.

In Shiatsu, we believe that the body is able to store unprocessed feelings. Our body protects us and removes hurdles that we cannot overcome in our daily lives. Everybody has stored individual experiences that we couldn’t process completely. Over time, we develop something like an energy armor, which can appear in our posture, facial expressions, and gestures.

During a Shiatsu treatment, the body's energy armor opens up and is able to release old patterns and restrictions (my clients often describe it as feeling cold or warmth coming out of different areas of the body) and emotions appear. Our body is wise and knows which energy to release and what we can handle at the moment.
