IBS and other digestive issues can be frustrating and disruptive, affecting your daily comfort and wellbeing. I use gentle pressure and holistic techniques to help ease digestive tension, reduce stress, and support your body’s natural balance.

Shiatsu encourages the smooth flow of Qi (energy), which can help relieve bloating, cramps, and discomfort commonly associated with digestive problems. Many clients find their symptoms become more manageable after a Shiatsu session, and their overall sense of wellbeing improves.

If digestive issues are impacting your life, why not call Kate on 07903 741203 or email info@axevalleyshiatsu.co.uk to book your session today.

Do you suffer from hay fever or blocked sinuses at this time of year? Many people do, and Shiatsu could be just the thing to help.

At Axe Valley Shiatsu, Kate works with gentle, precise touch to ease sinus pressure and stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. This hands-on therapy can help relieve headaches and the heavy, tired feeling that often comes with blocked sinuses.

To book a session, message Kate here, call 07903 741230 or email info@axevalleyshiatsu.co.uk.

Insomnia affects more than just your sleep - it can impact mood, focus, and overall wellbeing. At Axe Valley Shiatsu, Kate uses gentle touch and pressure techniques to calm the nervous system, release tension, and restore the body’s natural balance. ⭐

By supporting the body’s energy flow, known as Qi, shiatsu helps ease stress and anxiety, two of the most common causes of sleepless nights. Many clients report falling asleep more easily and waking up feeling more refreshed. 🌱

Curious to see how shiatsu could help you sleep better?

Call Kate on 07903 741203, or email info@axevalleyshiatsu.co.uk to arrange your session today.

I love this acupressure point too!

June is Shiatsu Awareness Month, and I’m sharing beautiful resources from the European Shiatsu Federation to honour the healing power of touch.

Whether you’ve received Shiatsu, been curious about it, or it’s totally new to you—these points are gentle invitations back to your body’s natural wisdom.

If something resonates, feel free to share, comment, or reach out.

Sharing the healing power of touch is one way we can all support each other—quietly, kindly, and without needing all the words. 💛

Bladder 40 is found behind the knee, in the centre of the crease.

It’s a key point for relieving back pain, stiffness, and leg tension—especially when we’ve been holding stress in the lower body.

Energetically, it helps us release old burdens and emotional weight we carry in the spine.

It’s a great point when you feel physically or emotionally stuck—like you need to bend, move, or let go but something’s holding you back.

Gentle pressure here can feel surprisingly freeing.
