Shiastu For AdultsThe way that I work with adults seeking a treatment is to listen to the body, not as a problem, but as a movement seeking completion.
Witnessing and becoming atuned to this inner movement by attention to the breath creates a dialogue between practitioner and reciever. This actually involves adjustments in both practitioner and receiver and that is when Resonance occurs.
Change is about movement but it is also about finding a place or opportunity for rest. The scope to do this can be explored in a session, the body responding in the most easy way whilst integrating and so allowing to shift, areas of pain.
Touch may be light or deeper. It is the situation of the person and how this unfolds that determines the emphasis of a treatment. Treatment then is about acknowledgement and the acumulated awareness that this brings, both during and after a session.

I treat children with a range of difficulties including Epilepsy, Autism, ADHD and problems with the central nervous system which compromise standing, walking and sitting.
My approach is to engage with a child at a point which is easy and enjoyable for them and so to encourage expansion from a safe and familiar place.
Firstly it is about where they want to position themselves. Then, over time it becomes about where movement and change is interesting through this connection.
Although I work on what is weak or tight, I engage with what is positive and open too for this is a central part of who we are and who we need to be.
I feel strongly that Therapy is Educational, teaching a person ultimately to balance through their own initiative.
It also teaches a trust and toleration for the way we all are in the world. At every instance it is the choice of each person whether they want to change and in what ways this feels possible.
Living is really about a continuous moment by moment realignment. When it stops happening for whatever reason there can be discomfort until the drama is allowed to unfold a little more.
Shiatsu, as a way of witnessing and allowing this process, can help at specific times in ones life.
I also run a private practice for Adults from my home.
