Shiatsu Massage: First - a quick update!

2009 was a year packed full of transition for so many - me included! We moved into our new little house (a greatly protracted adventure), Jake completed and launched his latest album, Quicksand, and less than two weeks later, we got married!
The new treatment room - in the new house - is lovely - the nicest I've ever had. Spring is here, and my beautiful gardens are just beginning to stir.
Now, I'm looking forward to a slightly less 'interesting' year, and enjoying my many blessings - including the time to write something here!

Shiatsu is...

To learn more about shiatsu massage, just google it, or read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiatsu.
Really, there are so many sites saying pretty much the same thing about theory and history that I won’t say it all again here. In a nutshell:

Shiatsu (指圧 Japanese from shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure) is a traditional Japanese hands-on therapy based on anatomical and physiological theory and is regulated as a licensed medical therapy with the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Japan. Shiatsu is an evolving form. Various styles (called Derivative Shiatsu) incorporate (to differing degrees) aspects of Japanese massage traditions, Chinese Medicine practice, and "Western" anatomy and physiology.

Hands, arms, elbows, even knees and feet are often used during a shiatsu massage. With experience and care, a practitioner's style evolves beyond theory and routine into their own unique approach.

Beyond all else, it's about people. This page is to help you decide whether I’m a practitioner you’d like to visit. No two therapists are the same, regardless of modality. No two clients have the same needs. Individual needs change over time, too. It comes down to finding a good match on a personal level as well as a therapeutic one.
