Specialties
I practice both Western style massage (also known as Swedish massage) and shiatsu. In a shiatsu session, the receiver stay fully clothed and usually is on a mat on the floor - but a table can be used as well. Shiatsu is based in Chinese medicine, and uses the same points and energy lines as a acupuncture - without needles. Shiatsu also includes extensive but gentle stretching. Like massage, shiatsu is mostly relaxing and can greatly increase range of motion, flexibility, and stress management. However, it can also touch quite a range of physical, emotional, and mental issues.
