shiatsu and thai massage

May 24, 2008

here I am in berlin ready to get to work, doing what i love most!!! A beautiful dance between me and who i treat. I apply pressure using my hands, fingers, elbows knees and feet. The body weight is applied in an aligned way so that i am always relaxed and comfortable, The thai massage is more structured around a series of stretches often referred to as” lazy mans yoga!!”, the shiatsu treatment is more focused on activating pressure points, along meridians to help regain smooth energy flow in the body.

Theses treatments are very relaxing, but can be challenging. Bringing your attention to the areas of the body, where you have blocks. Combining the pressure with the use of breath I can often guide the receiver into releasing these blocks and tension.

both therapies are carried out at ground level. On a futon, fully clothed.
