Shiatsu, similar to acupressure, uses finger pressure, manipulations and stretches, along Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians.
Shiatsu is, however, a holistic therapy and often also impacts a patient's well-being, lifestyle, diet, body/mind awareness
Everything will be prepared for you in the garden or at home if the weather doesn´t help. I’ll make a brief explanation to the techniques used and a short interview in order to have information that will help me during the treatment. After a short talk, you'll be taken through the relaxing and deep experience of a Shiatsu treatment (50/60 minutes) in the Masunaga style. To help your energy to flow, I'll make controlled pressures on specific parts of your body, using my hands and thumbs. A shiatsu treatment will leave your body and mind feeling lighter, calmer and more relaxed. Our bodies have incredible powers of self-healing but these abilities are often impaired due to mental and physical stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and poor diet. In the end, we can have a nice tea and share more about the experience it self and I can share a little bit about the Portuguese identity and history, our culture, social and economic facts and Lisboa's traditions. Other things to note I need to be informed if you have a chronic health problem. If possible get in touch with me before booking so we can sort any doubts you may have.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
