Shiatsu, or literally translated “finger pressure”, is a holistic body massage that originally comes from Japan and also incorporates knowledge of Chinese medicine with regard to the meridians or energy channels in the body.

​

The contact technique of Shiatsu encompasses much more than "pressing with the finger": hands, thumbs, elbows and knees are used. In this gentle contact, pressure is not applied in the sense of an actively applied force, but the practitioner works with their own body weight.

​

In addition, Shiatsu is also about establishing an energetic relationship between the practitioner and the client: in the "here and now" there is an interaction and an empathetic dialogue about the wellbeing of the customer.

To adjust to this person and his energy: that is the special art of Shiatsu. Shiatsu has a balancing, calming or stimulatory effect and supports the self-healing processes of body, mind and soul.

The Shiatsu contact, the core of Shiatsu

​​

Through a mindful and deep touching, it's possible to perceive the life energy, to interact with it and stimulate its flow.

A contact in Shiatsu is created through a mindful touching and gentle leaning with the body. 

Clients experience this as a healing pressure.  

The work of Shiatsu practitioners is characterized by a respectful attitude and serenity.
