Shiatsu Massage with Donna

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork therapy that combines the principles of Chinese medicine with modern Western massage techniques.  Essentially ‘acupuncture without needles’, Shiatsu incorporates specific acupressure points into a highly effective massage to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and enhance physical and emotional balance

Shiatsu for Muscular Pain

Shiatsu is an excellent choice for both acute and chronic pain relief, especially for people who dislike needles.

 

Using accurate pressure points and stretching along channel lines can bring quick and lasting relief.

Shiatsu for Children

Children love Shiatsu 

 

Their bodies respond so quickly to touch and a massage can be both a fun and grounding experience for them

 

I use it most often to help regulate their digestive system, reduce allergies, asthma and colds as well as to calm anxiety and improve sleep

 

Simple techniques are taught to parents

 

It is easy to learn some key massage techniques to help with your child's condition.  Integrating these into a bedtime routine can be both bonding and increases the effectiveness of the treatment

  • Colic, reflux & digestive issues
  • Asthma & allergies
  • Frequent colds & coughs
  • Sleep problems & Bed wetting
  • Ear Infections

Improved Sleep

I cannot imagine life without Donna's Shiatsu and am a devotee of over 20 years!  It grounds and calms my mood during stressful times, helps my sleep, and eases physical tension.

Chronic Fatigue

I had been struggling with the debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome for a couple of years before I found Donna.  Through a steady and gradual process, my fatigue has starkly improved since my treatment with Herbs and Shiatsu began - as has my relationship to it.

Family Health

Donna is an exceptional practitioner — deeply caring, intuitive, and knowledgeable.

Her combination of Shiatsu, Acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine has supported my whole family, even through very serious illness where her herbs were life-saving.

She is a treasure, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Shoulder impingement

I was recommended Donnas Shiatsu treatments from my nephew as I was struggling with shoulder pain.  

Her treatments were extremely beneficial and I recovered fully from the shoulder impingement which hasn't returned.

She is wonderfully knowledgeable about the body but also has a beautiful intuitive touch which feels soothing to receive.  I can highly recommend her.

Magic Hands

“From the very first time a Shiatsu received a treatment from Donna it was the feeling of a deep trust that was most apparent. A trust in her knowledge, experience and dedication to applying Traditional Chinese Medicine in a very practical and accessible way. A trust in her warming hands and presence, and her capacity to allow me to feel very safe, held and therefore drop very quickly into a deep relaxation. Not only has every treatment helped relieve any tensions in my body that had built up from everyday life, they also invited me on a journey into establishing a more intimate connection and relationship with my body. It is this deepening relationship with my body that keeps me going back to Donna’s magic hands!”
