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 to enhance feeling relaxed, centered, embodied, energized, at peace; reduce physical and psychological effects of stress, like fatigue, muscle tension, anxiety; reduce pain; support for those with illnesses like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme 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.
