What is Shiatsu Massage and How Can It Help Me?

Shiatsu is a therapeutic form of acupressure, muscle meridian stretching, and corrective exercise, designed to restore the balance of energy in your body. 

Before your Shiatsu massage, we will talk through your needs and get to know each other a bit, so don’t worry if you have never experienced Shiatsu before! Many of our clients haven’t.  You will keep your clothing on, so just wear something soft and comfortable (no jeans please). Your treatment will always be tailored exactly to you.  

Treatment may include: 

  • the use of flowing stretches and gentle rotations of the limbs and joints, simple structural alignments and muscle release techniques to release blocked energy. 
    applying targeted pressure to specific points on your body
    rubbing or gentle shaking to improve energy flow (Sotai) 
    heat therapy to nourish energy and blood (Moxa) 
    cupping to release tension, ease pain and detox the body

“Having never experienced Shiatsu before, I’m so grateful to have found it! Marian’s caring treatments are not only reducing my symptoms, also helping me understand the physical and emotional energy connection. Taking the time to understand my history and holistic health view, Marian tailors treatments each session and checks in to see how I’m travelling.” - Jodie

No matter what physical and emotional challenges you may be facing, we are here to listen and offer tailored treatments for every stage of life.
 
Aside from the physical benefits, many clients say their regular Shiatsu helps them to stop overthinking, feel less on edge and switch off. It boosts their energy, clears frustration and makes them centred and grounded.  Overall, they are more motivated and positive about their life. Shiatsu can assist with self-development and self-healing, balance the underlying causes of multiple conditions, and address physical and psychological imbalances in your body. You can learn more about Shiatsu on my blog.

Hi, I’m Marian, your Bayside Shiatsu therapist. 

But more than that, I know where you are coming from, and I meet you there. 

As a tired but happy mother to two young children, I understand the journey of womanhood and how difficult, overwhelming, and wonderful it can be. I’ve experienced my share of heavy and irregular periods, depression, anxiety, insomnia and postnatal depletion in the past, and I use this knowledge every day to help my clients to overcome their own challenges. I’ve trained with world-renowned Shiatsu and acupressure therapists, and I now combine my skills and my past experiences to help the women I see. 

I have a strong interest in women’s health and love seeing my clients from pre-pregnancy through labour, and into perimenopause. I create a strong bond with each woman I see, and I am honoured to have wonderful clients who trust me with their wellbeing.  

You can read more on my blog, or get in touch if you have any questions. I will be happy to chat with you.
