What happens during a Shiatsu session
Each session is 1 hour long.
At the first session we shall talk about where you are including physical and emotional issues, what brings you to Shiatsu and the outcome you desire.
We will come to an agreement about the path of future sessions followed with a shiatsu.
I suggest a minimum of 6 sessions.
​
Prior to our first meeting I shall send you a form to fill in about your medical history.
​
Subsequent sessions will always start with a check-in followed by a Shiatsu which I aim to finish 5 minutes before the end of our session to give time for anything that needs to be said.
What do you need to know before coming
Please wear loose fitting clothes that cover the arms and legs as Shiatsu is given through clothes.
​
Shiatsu is mostly done lying down on a futon however it may involve standing and moving.
​
Shiatsu takes many forms and each session varies however a typical session could involve stretches, shaking, finger/hand/elbow/foot pressure, holding and talking.
