Dear Colleagues, Friends and Clients

I wish you a wonderful 2026, the year of the Fire Horse. 🔥🐎

However, instead of galloping speedily in a fast-forward, backwards or even sideways fashion and trying to embrace new things with gusto, I have a wish to truly slow down and move steadily.

Less bright artificial lights and jarring sounds. Not great when recovering from Labyrinthitis 😵‍💫.

Interestingly, I gave a Shiatsu treatment last week and my new client said she felt steadier in her being.

So! Less scrolling, more strolling. Being more attentive to personal boundaries, listening with attention to my self-care and energetic frequencies. Enjoying kaffe and kuchen at my favourite cafe, Kipferl in Islington, London.

Approaching the new year with new lenses and hopefully, clearer vision. 😎

Take care everyone. Sending love ❤️.

Cheng Tng is a dessert that we grew up eating in Singapore. It has cooling properties but is heart-warming. Honey dates, lotus seeds, white fungus, dried longan, red dates, pearl barley and rock sugar are gently simmered in a pot.

Thanks Charmaine Oei for this additional information: White Fungus for Lungs, Dried Longan for circulation, Chinese Red Dates for Qi and Blood health, Gingko nuts for circulation, brain energy and Pearl Barley for reducing cholesterol.

Thank you, Česká asociace shiatsu (Czech Shiatsu Association) for inviting me to your Open Door Day. 🇨🇿

It was wonderful to meet you and an honour to share some gentle proprioceptive exercises and Shin Tai techniques for treating the spine and central channel. I am glad to hear that you found these techniques gentle yet powerful and can integrate them into your professional practice.

With love and gratitude. ❤️🙏

Autumn - a time of reflection, acceptance, letting go and renewal. The Harvest Moon has shone brightly, and its magnetic energy could be felt. In East Asia, the full moon is a symbol of family reunion and the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival is celebrated. Mooncakes 🥮 are enjoyed and lanterns are lit, guiding us through the night. Quite an auspicious time and an energy shift.

I am also reminded that Autumn is associated with the emotion of grief. A quote by Tara Brach feels true: "Grieving loss consciously is at the center of the spiritual path. In small and great ways, each of our losses links us to what we love."

As a Shiatsu practitioner, I try to live and work consciously and connect to others with grace, understanding, compassion, empathy and gratitude.

Keep well, friends.

With love,
Dawn
