Hamilton Shiatsu

Hamilton Shiatsu I graduated with honors from the Shiatsu School of Canada (SSC) located in Toronto, Ontario in 2009.

I went on to practice Shiatsu in France for years before returning to Canada to open my practice in Canada. In May 2017 I opened my first Canadian practice in Hamilton, Ont where I now offer Shiatsu.

Shiatsu is pronounced "SHE- AT -ZOO" .

It originated in Japan a little over 100 years ago. The foundation for Shiatsu is based on centuries of Anma (Japanese) and Tui Na (Chinese) massage theory, and those likely evolved from Ayurvedic massage practices that are 3000 years old.

Massage feels good, it relaxes our nervous system and decreases tension.

Hello!
I haven't been active on social media in a few years, but I'm trying to get back into it. I thought I'd share a little about me.

I've been interested in holistic wellness most of my life. I graduated from a 2 year full-time Shiatsu Therapy Diploma program in 2009 and have been practicing Shiatsu ever since. First in Europe, and eventually in Hamilton.

I returned to school for another 2 years in 2023 to obtain my massage therapy diploma, and an now officially both an RMT & an LST.

I practice Shiatsu massage on a traditional futon, and Swedish massage on the table.

I moved to my newest location in East Hamilton within along with and I am loving the big open space, the supportive community the good vibes.

Looking forward to a year where I'm pouring my energy into my work, family and my community instead of exams!

Oh! I had a great photoshoot with .photo - so I'm excited to show off more of her great shots soon!

What did you do for tonight?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My partner and I got take-out from and hung out in the dark (while I managed a migraine.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you have candles lighting up your home?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you seen the local candles is selling? She's teamed up with , .dsgn and
to create beautiful candles, proceeds of which go 100% to supporting mental health services in our community .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And while I'm here, I'll say that I don't expect earth hour will save us. We need big, sustainable changes, everywhere folks. And it's probably going to be hella inconvenient.

Are you going to check out the yoga show in Toronto this weekend?

I'll be there with the Shiatsu Therapy Society Friday 3-8pm and Saturday 10am- 3pm offering short, 20 minute shiatsu sessions on the floor or massage chair.

Stop by booth 934 to say hi or to relax with a shiatsu session from some of the most amazing, talented, and compassionate healers I know.

Shiatsu is ALWAYS gentle, but that doesn't mean that pressure is light.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shiatsu pressure is unique because it is applied gradually, so without startling the body, pressure can slowly become very deep and remain tolerable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always tell my clients "if you're holding your breath, it's too much" I do my best to listen in to what the body is telling me and apply appropriate pressure, but you know you best, so if it's too much or you want more pressure, ask your shiatsu therpaist to use more!

Have you checked in recently? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I dare you to. If you're having trouble, try shiatsu as a fantastic way to assist in tuning into your body.

What have you been holding onto?
What have you wanted to change that you're not letting go of?
Do you know why?

I've been holding onto so many beliefs that make no sense and hold me back. I'm getting ready to make shifts, but change can be scary.

Change is scary. Change is good. If you're doing things that don't feel right for you, maybe it's time to let that go?

Sale alert!
Bolsters, yoga straps, meditation cushions... all 20% off until tonight.

In my shiatsu treatments, I'm big on making sure my clients are as comfortable as possible. Being able to fully relax your weight into the mat helps calm the nervous system, which promotes healing!

I've been using regular old pillows for too long, telling myself I'll one day get around to making my own bolsters (cause, I'm not busy enough as a self employed parent... right?)
All the while, coveting the gorgeous, comfy bolsters that many local yoga studios don.

It turns out,
is a LOCAL, family run business that makes these beauties I keep seeing around town.

And they're moving and having a 20% off sale until the end of the day!

Guys, I literally just spent 20 minutes trying to decide on fabric choices. So hard when I actually just want them all!
