Thai Yoga Massage works to stimulate, open and balance the flow of energy through the Sen lines to assist the body in its natural tendency towards self healing.

This form of massage is highly beneficial particularly for anyone suffering from circulatory problems, lack of joint mobility, muscular stiffness and stress.

Shiatsu is an elegant, restorative, sometimes truly relaxing therapeutic experience. At other times, it can be revitalising and replenishing. 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.
