Feeling bloated or eaten to much at Christmas? Food stuck in your stomach? or struggling with feeling nauseous, acid reflux, indigestion, headaches? 😫
That heavy, “food stuck” feeling after eating isn’t random. It’s often a sign your digestion needs help moving.
Press Large Intestine 4 (LI-4) for relief to get your digestion moving.
Massage using strong pressure
Breathe in & out ×6 while massaging the point, repeat when necessary
One hand is enough

I hope this helps you or if you are struggling to do this yourself, book in for a Shiatsu with me to get your digestion moving again.

Wishing all my customers and clients a very Merry Christmas and a wishing you the best health and happiness in 2026. 🥳😍💝

Yin season is not a time to push — it is a time to restore. As the energy of the environment here in the Northern Hemisphere turns inward, so does your body. Energy naturally slows, the nervous system becomes more sensitive, and the call for deep nourishment almost feels impossible to ignore. You have been pushing all year, all season. This is when chronic stress, low energy, and burnout rise to the surface, not as weakness, but as a message to soften.

Yin season asks us to replenish our reserves, through our Kidney season especially. If your body feels depleted, foggy, or worn thin by ongoing stress, book in for a Shiatsu massage to restore and let go of any stress held in the body especially leading up to Christmas.

In the body, Yin season may show up as:
- Increased fatigue or desire for more sleep
- Slower digestion
- Stiffer joints
- Lower motivation
- A need for comfort and warmth
- Greater emotional sensitivity or introspection

🩵 These feelings and symptoms can all be treated through treating the Kidney season with rest and relaxation. Book a treatment for yourself if you feel stressed or overwhelmed.

Good morning everyone, it's a rather wet and dreich day so sending a smile and hugs your way. 🥰

Struggling with Menopause symptoms?
Menopause is not same for all. In Chinese medicine and Shiatsu we look at it through the lens of the five elements, like five types of menopause. And treat you individually. But all five have one thing in common, and that is that menopause = decline in Kidney energy. That’s what menopause is, at its core.
Read my blog post on Kidney Yin depletion and understanding the role of the Kidneys and how Shiatsu can help rebalance your energy or get in touch with me for a chat to see how I can help you.

Our Story

Shiatsu is a hands on traditional Japanese massage therapy and works on the same principles as Acupuncture helping to release blocks that cause us pain within the body. Unlike western style massages, Shiatsu is based on the principle that energy flows like water through the body in a series of pathways called meridians. Sometimes the energy (ki or chi) flow is disrupted and we may experience discomfort such as muscular pain, headaches, digestive disturbances, PMT, menopausal symptoms, swelling, skin irritations, excess mucous, foggy headedness, memory loss, stress, anxiety, irritability and other emotional imbalances. Stress and emotional upset affects the health of our physical body, which affects how well we can deal with daily life. Taking time for a relaxing Shiatsu treatment gives your body an opportunity to release the daily stresses that build up over time.
