My own experience with Shiatsu

My personal discovery of the wonders of shiatsu came like an angel in the mid eighties at a time when I was under a huge amount of stress.

Shiatsu didn’t just make me feel physically better for an hour or two, I felt completely restored; relaxed, and energized at the same time, and I found the effects lasted longer than anything else I had tried.

Shiatsu opened up a whole different sense of myself, and got me unstuck, things that I had been struggling with were resolved.

I found that I had much more energy and I have been amazed at how consistently clients have reported similar experiences, even using similar language. I knew instinctively that this is how we are supposed to feel, and knew I had to find out more……

I see myself as a facilitator, helping you to “re-member” (literally to put back together again) the optimally healthy you, that may have been “forgotten” in the rough and tumble of life.

The experience of mind/body integration has profound health implications: We simply function better and enjoy greater physical, mental and emotional and spiritual well-being.

Testimonials

“Robin introduced me to shiatsu 3 years ago as an alternative therapy to our traditional western, invasive, medicated approach to health and comfort. Through each shiatsu session that Robin has worked with me, his approach has been consistently professional, highly respectful and focused solely on my comfort as his client. He has gone out of his way to teach me about shiatsu, Qi Gong and other Eastern philosophies. His passion for his work is palpable as he readily shares the vast knowledge he has gained as an expert in this arena of health provision. Every chance I get, I recommend both shiatsu as a therapy that works, as well as Robin as the therapist who brings genuine care and concern for his clients with an innovative approach to health. I feel privileged to have Robin as part of my community.” July 12, 2010
