Shiatsu

Shiatsu

I trained in Shiatsu with Sonia Moriceau and qualified as a Shiatsu practitioner in 1987. I continue to practice in Bridport, Dorset.

Shiatsu is based on the Chinese medical view of human health being fundamentally connected to their relationship to their environment through an ever-shifting balance of the Five Elements and the circulation of Ki
[1] through the meridians. The working definition of health is expressed as a person’s capacity for adapting to change, rather than as a fixed state.


[1] Ki in Japanese, (known as Chi in Chinese), is ‘life-force’ energy, which is believed to flow through the meridians in Shiatsu and in Acupuncture.
