Shanti Shiatsu

Session Info

What to expect from a Shiatsu Session

When booking your first appointment, please allow for approximately 15 minutes of consultation time (at no charge).


Please bring for your treatment loose comfortable clothing (eg t-shirt and loose fitted pants). There is an area to change into if needed. No oils are used during the treatment. It is recommended that you do not eat for 90 minutes prior to your appointment time.

Your Shiatsu treatment is based on the information from the consultation and is tailored to your specific health needs. The Japanese expression “Shindan Soku Chiryo”, means Diagnosis and Therapy Combined and is the essence of Shiatsu. There may be more that is discovered during the shiatsu treatment than what Melissa and the client may discuss during the consultation. A shiatsu treatment is like a journey that both you and Melissa will share. The goal is to focus on just being.

Shiatsu:

Melissa practices two styles of shiatsu. She can perform either style or a combination depending on a clients preference and needs

  • The traditional style of Namikoshi in which she presses her thumbs and palms on various areas targeting the bodies aches and pains
  • The second style is Shin So which, in addition to pressure points, also works on the energy of the body by balancing your organs and meridians. This is more meditative and focuses on deeper imbalances.

    • Reiki:

    Reiki works on the subtle energy of your body and uses a light to gentle touch to help move the energy away from blockages and allow for peace within.

    Thai:

    Melissa is currently undergoing training in Thai massage and may bring elements of this relaxing style into her other treatments
