“Wow! You will not be disappointed - be kind to yourself and book a Shiatsu session. I wasn't sure what to expect but Zoe is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, putting me right at ease and taking time before the practise and afterwards to talk. What 3 words can portray as to how I felt after the practise? Renewal / Calmness / Energised. I can't wait for my next session! Thank you Zoë, you are amazing.” KC Shiatsu is therapeutic bodywork, which originated over 2000 years ago in Japan from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has evolved to include techniques from modern physical therapy. Shiatsu literally translates as finger pressure, though I mainly use my thumbs and hands in a treatment. I use a special quality of touch, applying comfortable pressure with slow stretches and gentle manipulative techniques to balance the flow of your vital energy or 'chi.' Chi flows throughout the body in channels called meridians, which have the same points as those used in acupuncture. The health of our chi determines our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, which are interconnected. Optimum health and wellbeing comes from a free flow of our essential Chi. Symptoms occur when our energy is stuck and out of balance. Shiatsu gently releases blockages and tension to promote vitality and wellbeing and can treat a wide range of both chronic and acute symptoms. I can also give you personal recommendations so you can learn how to treat yourself with this powerful healing therapy. This can include bespoke meridian stretches, shiatsu points, chi gong movements, nutritional advice, breathing and mindfulness techniques plus support with any changes you may wish to make to your life.

I’d never had shiatsu before, but Zoë’s calm, warm presence put me at ease from the moment I arrived. We talked through expectations before starting, which I really appreciated and her knowledge and teaching throughout the session were genuinely impressive. One session in and I’m already feeling the benefits. I’ll absolutely be booking again. Highly recommended.” HH
