Traditional Japanese Bodywork for Balance and Inner Calm

Shiatsu massage follows the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using finger and palm pressure instead of oils or kneading.

It works along energy pathways (meridians) to release blockages and restore flow. The therapist applies pressure, stretches, and gentle manipulation to guide your body back into balance.

What a Shiatsu Session Looks Like
