Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork which stimulates the body’s natural healing ability by applying gentle pressure to points across the body. Shiatsu is a profoundly relaxing and enlivening experience. I aim to meet the client where they are accept and welcome what is arising on the physical, mental and emotional levels which will support you on your journey to full health,
Presence is a description of how we can be connected to a sense of our deeper essential self and be more present in our life experience.
Touching is both what I do with my hands but what your inner self feels. We say we feel touched by what someone says or does or a lovely view, we feel our hearts. Our essential nature is a feeling presence and this is what inspires me and what I hope to inspire in others in my sessions.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION:

I now work on a massage table rather than traditionally on the floor on a futon. The client stays fully clothed.

Each session lasts 75 or 90 minutes. I will ask questions and together we will inquire into your health, the symptoms you are experiencing and what might be underlying these symptoms, spiritually, emotionally. I will then adapt the session to your needs.

Guidelines for receiving Shiatsu

Please bring or wear loose, warm, comfortable clothing, preferably cotton e.g. sweatshirt, tracksuit trousers and socks.

It is advised not to eat heavily in the hour prior to treatment.

After treatment drink plenty of water to smooth the flow of changes through the system and avoid strenuous or stressful activities.

WHAT PEOPLE SAy about their shiatsu with kate:

“I have a demanding job which often means I have to make difficult decisions on a daily basis. This can often result in headaches and back pain. From the onset of meeting Kate and our subsequent sessions my headaches have significantly lessened and for the first time in many years I have felt able to move more freely and enjoyed my daily exercise.”
K.D. Psychotherapist and Mother

“Kate is always welcoming, warm and attentive to my needs. Her massage leaves me feeling nourished and embodied. She always takes time at the beginning of a session to find out where I am in my world, and I find her insight and interventions in the talking stage extremely supportive.
I would recommend Kate to any of my friends or customers looking for a shiatsu practitioner.’
