True Balance - Dr Zoë Pirie
Kind Words
“Wow! You will not be disappointed - be kind to yourself and book a Shiatsu session. I wasn't sure what to expect but Zoë 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.”

“Just to say thank you Zoë for a truly peaceful flowing session today, both J and I loved it! I felt “floaty”, peaceful and connected afterwards.
Your clear explanation of each move combined with beautiful imagery is pitched just right! What a wonderful way to begin the weekend. Thank you so much 💕.”

"Zoë's shiatsu has been amazing. From having extreme pain in my left hip and compromised movement in my left leg, her treatment has made me pain free and able to walk properly. Thank you so much."

Slow Down Saturday
“Thank you for a lovely session. The Slow Down Saturday was so lovely, I felt my mind and body relax and switch off to the world outside. Zoë is so lovely, the balance of meditation and movement was so great.
The lovely touch of the homemade energy balls was also really nice. Zoë cares about each and every one in the session. I’ve booked the next one already. Love this ❤️✨”

“Thank you Zoë, absolutely loved your session! Loved how you share and guide, it’s so caring. And how you hold space - very contained.”

Workshop
“Slow Down Saturday was a calming and restorative experience. I arrived feeling stressed and mentally busy, but the gentle Qigong movements and guided meditation helped me slow down and reconnect with myself. The refreshment break allowed for connection with others.
It didn't matter that I didn't know anyone because the atmosphere was peaceful, welcoming, and supportive. I left feeling more grounded and energised.”

Slow Down Saturday
“I can’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed. 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.”

“Felt spacious - not crammed or rushed. Clear instructions and guidance. Learning and feeling shiatsu pressure points. Helping with lunch and of course eating the delicious and nutritious food.
Enjoyed and benefitted from the calming space that was expertly and beautifully held. Felt safe and gentle. Loved the music and poetry readings.”

The class leaves me uplifted, relaxed and keen to have more yoga and mindfulness in my life.”

Really great advice and practical applications to help keep calm and be less anxious about their upcoming GCSE’s.

“Zoë’s yoga class is wonderfully relaxing and meditative, but at the same time stimulating and fun. I find her instructions easy to follow and she always gives options for each of the posses so I can choose the right one for my ability. It is such a lovely positive atmosphere and a great start to the weekend.”
