Benefits: Shiatsu is a gentle yet deep touch therapy based in Chinese medicine. I combine Shiatsu with techniques from a broad variety of other body-based approaches to healing and wellness, using whatever approach best matches your needs. My work aims to support your settling into yourself, experiencing yourself on a deeper level, and finding positive pathways to relaxation, stress management, healing, growth, and transformation. People seek Shiatsu/Integrative Bodywork to enhance mind/body integration; feel relaxed, centered, embodied, energized, at peace; reduce physical and psychological effects of stress, like fatigue, muscle tension, anxiety; support those with physical illnesses by encouraging sleep, rest, energy; encourage feelings of safety and well-being. Special interest in women’s issues. You are fully clothed during the sessions. Receivers have commented that my touch is intuitive, sensitive, and communicates a sense of safety. At the same time, I also think strategically and analytically about how best to work.
