Shiatsu

Working intuitively and holistically, and rooted in the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, shiatsu tends to your whole being through bringing awareness t o where your energy is flowing, where it's stuck and where it's depleted. Treatments work with the movement of Chi (energy) in the body, using a combination of pressure, stretching, massage, acupressure and energy work along the energy channels of the body. It's a deeply relaxing, restorative and energising treatment to receive during pregnancy.
