Shiatsu

Japanese Bodywork

What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu literally means finger pressure in Japanese and is an ancient therapeutic bodywork with its roots in Japanese and Chinese natural healthcare systems.
The techniques used include gentle manipulations, pressure with the palms of the hands, elbows and knees as well as point work with fingers and thumbs to balance the life flow of energy through the body’s meridians (energy pathways).
Physical and emotional illnesses are regarded as an imbalance of Ki (the universal energy life force) and it is the Shiatsu practitioner’s role to help relieve presenting conditions, restore the equilibrium between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the individual and support the client to achieve long-term well-being.

The sensations you may feel during and after the treatment are:
deep relaxation, inner calmness, renewed vitality

Recommendations (which could be exercise, dietary, breathing etc.) may be made to support you in sustaining the benefits of your treatment.

Benefits

Shiatsu can be enjoyed as a rejuvenating treatment and can help support you through the stresses and strains of life or to treat specific symptoms.

Shiatsu is complementary to and enhances the positive effects of all other systems of healthcare and healing, including orthodox medicine.
Please wear loose, long-sleeved, comfortable clothing with socks.
Treatments are usually given on a floor-level futon.

Your Practitioner - Marion Ellerby

Marion’s initial training in the healing arts was in Shiatsu where she obtained a practitioner’s Diploma from the European School of Shiatsu Therapy and Movement, and a Post-Graduate Diploma from the Shiatsu College.
She has subsequently been initiated into the Gaia healing energy ray (akin to Reiki) with the Academy of Eternal Light®, and after completing a Foundation course with the School of Energy Healing she has expanded and deepened her energy healing skills on a two-year intensive training with Terri George, an independent international teacher and practitioner.

Marion is also qualified to practice body massage (ITEC), Indian head massage, pulsing (a rhythmic movement massage), and the Alexander Barrie system of pelvic correction™.

Marion aims to ease her clients back to wholeness and often incorporates a variety of techniques to create a unique treatment experience.
