Shiatsu works with the body showing how it can be – without pain and  without discomfort. Being aware of the body is the first, very  important step that you take away from just one session with me. Oriental medicine studies the flow of ki in the body. Meridians are the channels through which ki moves. Ki is in constant movement, and pain and disease are understood to result from blockages in the  movement of ki. When these blockages are released, ki is able to move freely and the symptoms are relieved. Frequently I am asked, “What is ki?” How can something that has no form be explained? It’s much like being asked, “What is heart or spirit?” or “What is  life?” Ki might be described as vital life energy, created by the underlying unity of heart and body. Shiatsu translates literally to ‘finger pressure’ so during a treatment you will experience this via many different techniques that I have learnt/acquired over the many years I have studied – ones that I have seen big results with.

Shiatsu works with the parasympathetic nervous system and, as it works at this depth, many dynamic changes may occur for the receiver of Shiatsu& Japanese bodywork. Patterns of behaviour which are stored in our systems for years, possibly all our lives, can have awareness brought to them. First we identify them and then work out ways of releasing them from our system/body. Shiatsu is not the therapist ‘fixing’ you, it is very much a two-way  process. The Shiatsu Practitioner shows the body a way of achieving natural homeostasis within and then you take that information away with you to work with (on a conscious or sub-conscious level).
Be empowered to help yourselves create a new way of life, a new way of  being.  Shiatsu is something that I’m deeply passionate about. I am forever its humble student.

I wish to write to my clients out there who only come to me for Shiatsu and bodywork when they get an injury and/or are in pain of some form. I would like you all to know that bodywork is preventative and allows you to attune to your bodies needs before the onset of pain.

It would be fabulous to work on building immune systems and boosting the digestive system therefore, aiding the body™s ability to function without dysfunction.

Spring is here so let’s get you fine-tuned and able to just come back to see me every 4-6 weeks which is what I ultimately aim for with all my clients.

Any questions or queries you may have get in touch – don’t be shy.  I will be updating you all on a more regular basis as and when new information comes my way so do keep an eye out here at Chesleanaturalhealth.co.uk and Zenki.co.uk for information.

I look forward to working with you all in the very near future and remember all treatment plans are solely personal to your diagnosis and help you work towards a bolder and brighter future.

Shiatsu is an elegant, restorative, sometimes truly relaxing therapeutic experience. At other times, it can be revitalising and replenishing. During your time spent with myself I will incorporate a variety of techniques, including gentle holding and applying pressure to the meridians with hands, thumbs, knees and elbows to support you and improve your energy flow. If appropriate I may apply more dynamic rotations of the joints and stretching the limbs to ease out stiffness and stimulate the body’s energetic functions.

In Shiatsu, touch is the most significant method of diagnosing your energy levels, I may lightly touch the diagnostic areas on the abdomen (called Hara in Japanese) or the back that relate to each meridian. A case history is taken to attain information about you, your medical history, aches and pains, sleep patterns and dietary preferences. These methods allow me to diagnose your current condition from an Oriental Medicine perspective.

Each Shiatsu session lasts approximately one hour, with the treatment itself lasting about 45-50 minutes. A treatment session usually takes place at floor level on a futon (padded mat) with the client wearing light, loose clothing. The treatment should not be painful although occasionally there may be some discomfort due to a particularly sensitive area being contacted but this is usually experienced as “good” pain. As the quality of Ki changes the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. This is generally experienced as a sense of deep relaxation and connectedness.

Guidelines for treatment

Wear loose, comfortable clothing preferably cotton, e.g. sweatshirt, tracksuit trousers and cotton socks. Please do not eat heavily in the two hours prior to a treatment. Do not drink alcohol before or after a treatment. After treatment I recommend you drink plenty of water to help smooth the flow of changes through your system.If possible, avoid strenuous or stressful activities after your session.
