Shiatsu stems from traditional Chinese medicine, which has a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Imbalances in the natural flow of prana, or qi energy through the body is believed to create illness. Shiatsu is a finger pressure massage. I use finger and palm pressure in a continuous rhythmic sequence on my client’s energetic pathways, called meridians, to improve the flow of qi or prana energy. Shiatsu assists in improving circulation, relieves stiff muscles, and alleviates stress. Shiatsu massage also assists in releasing underlying emotions from within the cellular and physical body.
