General & Preventive Natural Medicine

What is Zen Shiatsu?

Zen Shiatsu is a traditional therapy that uses Japanese abdominal (hara) diagnosis and supportive acupressure to balance the energy pathways of your body. It is often referred to as "acupuncture without the needles." This is a holistic therapy shown to uplift and harmonize your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

What is Zen Shiatsu like?

A treatment involves you lying down wearing loose-fitting comfortable clothing. By working along the meridians (energy pathways) of the body, touching on specific acu-pressure points, and rebalancing your energy, Zen Shiatsu creates a feeling of deep relaxation as well as renewed vitality.

As your inner vitality increases, so too does your sense of well-being. This supports your body’s natural ability to deal with stress and illness though you don’t have to be ill to benefit from a treatment.  Zen Shiatsu is a genuine preventative therapy and a real pleasure to receive at any time.
