Shiatsu with Gabi

LV‑14 often feels naturally sensitive when you touch it.

This point responds beautifully to gentle contact when someone is:

overwhelmed

frustrated

stuck

grieving

holding their breath without realising

navigating transition (like perimenopause)

When life feels “tight,” the body often mirrors that tightness in the ribs and diaphragm.

LV‑14 is one of the places where that tightness begins to melt.

Curious about Shiatsu?

Have you ever been curious about Shiatsu?
Perhaps you’ve tried a short taster and wondered what a full session could offer.

“A year ago we officially formed Shiatsu Hub — even though our shared practice, learning, and co‑creation had been weaving themselves long before that. What a ride it has been. I’m celebrating this circle of practitioners, the gatherings we’ve brought to life, and the way this space keeps deepening through each person who steps in. Here’s to another year of collaboration, growth, and the healing touch that grounds us, connects us, and carries our work forward.”🙌💗🫶🙏

Thank you,ladies

💨 Breath is our first act—and our last.
It carries life in, and lets life go.
Each inhale welcomes the new.
Each exhale releases the old.
A quiet rhythm of renewal.

👐Skin is our first boundary.
Porous, sensing, remembering—
it holds, receives, and lets through.

When grief becomes stuck,
the ❤️ heart contracts, the chest tightens.
We disconnect, and begin to sink.

But breath remains.
A thread back to presence.
A way to soften, open, and return.

🫁 Take a deep breath in—allow courage and worthiness to enter.
🪶 Breathe out with the sound SSSSSS—releasing grief and sadness from the lungs.
Let it move. Let it clear. Let it go.

Strong vitality, strength, and courage are signs of a balanced Metal element. When the lungs are open and breath flows freely, there is clarity, we feel brave, and alive.

🔻 Monthly Perimenopause Circle 🔻
At the Salisbury Centre, Edinburgh
Community-led • Donation-based

🗓️ Thursday, October 23
🕢 7:30–9:00 PM
🌿 Theme: Grief & Letting Go

Through gentle movement, touch, breath, and sound,
we journey through the body—
meeting grief not just as a feeling, but as a living presence in our tissues, breath, and bones.
We work with different parts of the body and the emotions they carry,
to clear and honour the wisdom of all Five Elements:

🪶 Metal – grief and letting go
🌊 Water – fear and deep knowing
🌱 Wood – anger and growth
🔥 Fire – joy and heartbreak
🎃 Earth – worry and nourishment

Each element offers a doorway.
Each emotion, a guide.
We listen for what is ready to soften, to be witnessed, to be surrendered.
This is the sacred work of release and renewal.

Come as you are. Let us make space for what’s rising— and welcome the unknown with grace and breath.

🕯️ Booking via Eventbrite (link in bio)
or DM Gabi to reserve your place.
Suggested donation: £7–12 or £15

~~EARTH ELEMENT ~~

represents nourishment and digestion. When we over-consume, and our capacity to process input is overwhelmed, we experience worry and over-thinking.
