Relax & Rejuvenate

Japanese Shiatsu 

Treatments are relaxation and/or symptom focused. 

 Shiatsu is excellent for relaxation and tension release, both physical and emotional.

Originating from Japan Shiatsu is a deeply therapeutic bodywork modality that can effect all levels of our being – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.  Shiatsu aims to deeply relax, invigorate and balance the musculature and energy of the body. Shiatsu uses the same Meridian and Five element systems of Chinese Medicine and affects balance through the application of pressure, limb rotations, stretches and energy point activation. The pressure applied during a Shiatsu may be applied using the practitioners hands, thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees and feet.  The practitioner always applies the touch with compassion and connection. It is this level of healing, loving touch working in conjunction with the energetic system of the body that creates the sense in the receiver of being deeply touched and reconnected to themselves.

Regular Shiatsu treatments are highly beneficial as a health promoting bodywork experience to enhance organ function, the immune system, circulation and emotional balance.

A Shiatsu session is guided by a combination of East Asian diagnostic methods, client symptoms and intuition. 

The client remains fully clothed unless Cupping or Moxabustion is suggested and is performed in comfort on futon mats on the floor.

Each session allows time for relaxing into the session, discussing your needs, time to “wake up” at completion and to gently move into the world again. 

 Shiatsu is beneficial for all ages, for many conditions and is always individually tailored.

“ Shiatsu has the capacity to connect us to the

experience of our body, encouraging inner listening

leading to outer action for enhanced health.”

Therapeutic Relaxation Massage

Bodywork Blend is a delicious combination of Relaxation massage strokes, Lomi Lomi continuous lengthening strokes and Shiatsu acupressure with a warm foot bath to begin your relaxation.

Relaxation Massage is both wonderfully relaxing and deeply therapeutic.

Massage encourages an increase in circulation leading to tension release in the tissues.  You will feel yourself melt into the table as the full body massage progresses and always ends with a blissful head and neck treatment that will make you sigh!!!

You will arise from your Body Blend massage relaxed - physically, mentally, emotionally and invigorated!  

Lomi Lomi Massage

Lomi Lomi massage (sometimes called Kahuna) is a dynamic, flowing full body healing style that can be deeply rejuvenating on many levels.

The practitioner uses the forearms and hands in long fluid strokes over the full length of the body and under the body with focused breath work. An energetic, healing intention and the practitioner’s rhythmic flow all contribute to a unique massage that benefits the body, mind and soul. The style enables the practitioner to work at all levels of intensity with grace and ease. It makes for a deep yet flowing treatment that will leave you in a revitalised, blissful state of balance and harmony.

“Lisa's shiatsu's are an integrated body and mind experience, When I had a treatment for the purpose of relaxation, I was sent to a dreamy world of bliss, if the treatment was for an physical ailment then I could feel the healing process taking place by the time I left the room.”
