Shiatsu In Kent

2-4 South Street
Folkestone
CT20 1RW
Phone 07773027541
Contact: Claire De Gruchy
Shiatsu is a Japanese healing art that uses natural leaning pressure from palms and thumbs along the whole body. The principles of shiatsu are that there are channels of energy or meridians that flow in the body, when this flow of energy is interrupted physical symptoms can occur. Shiatsu aims to restore the balance of these energies, it is gentle, and extremely relaxing. It can also incorporate some stretches to free the body of tension and stress and help improve the flow of energy. It is done at floor level on a padded matt or futon and over the top of clothes. Hi, my name is Claire and I am a shiatsu practitioner, I have studied shiatsu as part of a degree in Complementary Therapies, 2004, and recently gained the Diploma Advanced Shiatsu accredited by Middlesex University and License to Practice from Zen Shiatsu Society. In 2012 I have relocated from London to Folkestone, Kent and will be offering Shiatsu session's there. I love giving and receiving shiatsu, its fab and I'd love to share it relaxing and healing benefits with you :)
