Shiatsu in Sheffield

02/06/2023

"What makes shiatsu distinctive for me is the quality of touch. The touch in shiatsu is all the more powerful for its subtlety; because it is so unforced and the practitioner directs their energy in the most natural way possible for them, the flow is unimpeded, easily moving where it needs to go. As someone who is anxious and suffers with chronic fatigue and insomnia, shiatsu puts me in a state of relaxation that not much else can, and over time has helped me to defrost from a chronic state of "freeze". There is a trust fostered through the quality of touch in shiatsu that I think is very special."

I am so happy to be a member of the Shiatsu Society (UK). They have supported and represented Shiatsu therapists for many years and are a great professional membership organisation with a lot of integrity and determination.

For September I am offering a 1hr 20m Shiatsu Massage session for £55(usually £75) for new and returning (after 6 months or more) clients .
Book in a 15 minute consultation to ask any questions and to see if Shiatsu is for you.
(Offer limited to one session per person).

We are coming into the Earth Phase at the moment - Late Summer/Harvest. September is harvest time. A time for gratitude, appreciation, gathering in the harvest of our year. Savouring the last heat of the summer and beginning to feel the cooler air and the call to Autumn.

Late summer can bring up more digestive issues, related to the earth element. Worry is the emotion associated with this. Stress, anxiety and worry can be greatly helped by conscious, compassionate touch. To feel the benefits of the type of touch Shiatsu Massage Therapy gives, helps us to feel safe. When we feel safe and relaxed we can flow through and adapt to the changing seasons of the year and our life more easily.

Sarah Oldfield specialises in women's health, digestive issues, hormonal changes, low energy, fatigue, hip and lower back pain and people with a cancer diagnosis. She enjoys working with people who want to come back to their bodies and feel like themselves again. Perhaps after a time of grief and loss or after a difficult period where you now have some time to focus on your needs.

Shiatsu has giving me meaning, purpose, a great living and a skill I can constantly learn from, stay fit and travel with. It has been my career since 2007 and I have successfully earned my living with it for the majority of my life since then. I find it such an honour that people trust me to work with them to effect positive change and transformation. It really is a journey of change, first for you and then for the people you work with. If you are wanting community, connection, ways of working to enhance your body and mind with traditional methods in proven ways then check out the Shiatsu Diploma offered in Sheffield with the Northern School of Shiatsu. After 1 year you can start working professionally.

'I never thought I would feel pain free again' said an elated client during her session yesterday after bringing the great techniques I have been doing this last weekend. Another fruitful 3 days completing the Conception Vessel and Hara course with International Shintai Shiatsu teacher Kindy Kaur. She led us expertly through more abdominal techniques for digestive, hormonal and energy imbalances and also structural alignment and opening techniques for feet, hips, back and chest. It was great to re do the course and already brining the work into my shiatsu sessions with great results.

Hi folks. I'll be offline until Tuesday, recharging in a field and doing the second part of the Shintai Shiatsu training with Kindy Kaur. Can't wait to share this deeply transformative work with you. Have a lovely weekend. 😊🙏🌈

Living with chronic pain can be isolating and exhausting both physically and emotionally. I work with a number of clients who manage chronic pain that benefit from regular Shiatsu sessions. I also highly recommend Breathworks. A mindfulness based approach to working with chronic pain and illness. The founder, Vidyamala Birch has just won an OBE for her work with Breathworks and helping over 100,000 people.

Breathworks offers mindfulness courses and teacher training for pain, illness and stress to individu

I just spent 3 days with Kindy Kaur who is an amazing teacher of the Shintai Shiatsu method. We focused on working in the Hara - the Sea of Energy (abdominal area). Working in this area helps with digestive, hormonal, lower back and hip issues as well and releasing energy that is blocked so that we can reclaim our life force. So great to receive so much shiatsu. I feel happier, I have more energy and clarity and my whole body feels relaxed and more in alignment. We did releases for the psoas muscle and fascia and structural adjustments for hip and leg length imbalances. Transformative work.

I wanted to take this picture when I was on holiday with my family recently because I wanted to make sure I had a picture of my mum and dad's hands. So much love and care gets given through our hands, they are an expression of our hearts in action. I had a request this week for a gift voucher, for a person's mum for Mother's day. I was so moved. What a beautiful idea. I am offering a 90 minute Shiatsu Massage for the price of 60 minutes (£55, usually £82) for Mother's Day, because where would we be without them? Literally....I'm using 'mother' as a verb here so this offer includes anyone you know who mother's in anyway shape or form. If you would like to mother them back with a Shiatsu, drop me a message 🙏😊🎁
