Did you know that Shiatsu sessions are carried out with the receiver fully clothed?

Shiatsu is incredibly practical and can be tailored to the individual needs of the receiver. It's even suitable for everyday workplace and family settings.

Spring is in the air, a time for new beginnings. If you've never given Shiatsu a go, why not do so now. I'm offering 25% off my normal prices for all new clients up until the end of March - just £30 for a one hour session.
Shiatsu is a wonderful therapy and can help relieve all sorts of issues from stress and anxiety, to aches and pain, IBS and insomnia. Using touch, gentle stretches and acupressure points, it promotes energetic balance in the body which, in turn, helps you feel more relaxed and in tune with yourself.

I practice in Axminster, Chard, Crewkerne and Yeovil on Thursdays, Fridays and some weekends, To get in touch you can DM me or call 07903741230. If you think Shiatsu is something you might be interested in but would like to know more, I'd love to have a chat.

Shiatsu sessions are now available on alternate Tuesday afternoons from the 17th February at the Axminster Wellbeing Centre.

Kate Handley has been practising Shiatsu with us for over 2 years, carrying out sessions on an adhoc basis. Now, in addition to these sessions, she will be with us on a regular basis, every other Tuesday afternoon between 2 and 6 pm. Feel free to give her a call on 07903741230 or email info@axevalleyshiatsu.co.uk to arrange a visit, have a chat and find out more about Shiatsu, or to book a session.

Why not see if Shiatsu is something for you?

Shiatsu is a wonderful therapy. It was developed in Japan in the early 20th century but has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine. It is a therapy that works with the universal life force that flows through us all known as ki. Using touch and gentle manipulation, a Shiatsu practitioner helps ki flow smoothly through the various channels (meridians) in our bodies and find balance. With balance, the body feels at ease and is more able to heal itself.
Shiatsu can help with any number of complaints from stress and anxiety to aches and pains, digestive issues, problems with sleep, skin conditions, and more. Above all, it helps us become more aware of what’s going on with ourselves, both physically and emotionally. Shiatsu uses the same acupressure points as acupuncture but instead of needles, it uses thumb and finger pressure.

Shiatsu is received fully clothed, minus shoes, usually on a futon mattress on the floor. It can also be received on a therapy couch or in a chair. See www.axevalleyshiatsu.co.uk for more details about Kate and her practice.

A New Year is often a time to try something new. Personally, I've embraced the Ancient Eastern wisdom of Winter being a time to rest and recuperate. But now that January is over, and there are signs of Spring just around the corner, I'm keen to share my passion for Shiatsu.

If you would like to join me for a Shiatsu session, I'm offering a limited-time 25% discount on Shiatsu sessions in the month of February to all new clients! I practice in Chard, Axminster, Crewkerne and Yeovil, so get in touch if you'd like to find out more, or to book an appointment.

Lots of colds and nasty winter lurgies going around. Read on for some acupressure points that can help.

Are you feeling under the weather ?
This might help!

The points used in Shiatsu, Acupressure and Acupuncture exist among a network of meridians, which are basically the highways on which Qi flows throughout the body.
Sometimes pressure is needed at these points to clear up blockages and help ensure a healthy, balanced and harmonious flow of energy through the meridians.
