Shiatsu for
Emotional and Mental Well-Being

As a part of my Shiatsu training I volunteered doing Shiatsu treatments for the mental health charity Mind in Deptford London.  At the time many of the people I was working with were ladies and refugees who had experienced arduous and traumatic journeys to safety. They did not always speak good English, and we communicated in gestures as much as words.  Even so I was able to witness the effectiveness of Shiatsu to help my patients who returned week after week for their treatments.  This process taught me not only how powerful safe human touch can be but how Shiatsu works beyond words, how it is possible to use techniques to read the body without words.

 

As someone who has experienced Post Traumatic Stress I can testify first -hand to Shiatsu's effective and gentle ability to reduce symptoms associated with PTSD.  

Through helping to soothe and re-program the nervous system Shiatsu is an effective tool that helps sufferers of PTSD move through this condition and to release its effects on their body and mind, reclaiming a more happy and peaceful life.

Since then I have worked with people experiencing multiple mental and emotional health conditions.  it has been a true joy sharing their transformtional process.
