Discover Shiatsu: Shiatsu Massage with Mind Body Shiatsu
Discover the powerful nurturing practice of Shiatsu. Edinburgh based practitioners;
Gabi, Jacqui, Naomi and Onin are coming together to offer you the amazing chance to
experience Shiatsu at FLARE* Festival in the Dean?s Office at Summerhill.
Shiatsu, a Japanese complementary therapy, uses a mixture of acupressure points, gentle
stretches and massage to rebalance the body?s energy - known as ?Ki? in Japanese. Working
with sensitive, mindful, static touch with thumbs, fingers and palms Shiatsu works deeply,
affecting our physical systems such as nervous, circulatory and respiratory whilst at the
same time supporting the body?s natural self-healing abilities.
For the first time we are offering 20-minute taster sessions upon a traditional floor futon or
upon our usual massage chairs. As Shiatsu is given through clothes there is no need to worry
about changing or privacy, all you have to do is take your shoes off and relax.
Come and chat to us about all things Shiatsu or explore the effects of Shiatsu for yourself, it
can be life changing, providing you with a self-care toolkit and changing your world view by
giving you the space to explore what is really important.
