Shiatsu

Description

Shiatsu is an ancient healing art that we borrow from Japan. It's based on the meridian system of energy. So these are pathways that run throughout the body similar to acupuncture. It's older than acupuncture and came before needles were invented. Shiatsu actually means in Japanese finger pressure is a big part of the work, as well as applying pressure with the palms and elbows, and knees and feet to free up the energy flow and create as much balance as possible.

Shiatsu is traditionally done on the floor. It involves stretching, gentle manipulations and pressure points. Shiatsu is useful for anything going on in the body from something internally out of balance to something externally, such as pain, discomfort. When we think of balance, the body is constantly striving to come into balance and this is a fluxes state. We're never always in balance. So, Shiatsu helps to bring us back and come back to this neutral sense of healing.

It's really looking at the body in the sense of a holistic picture. So rather than targeting one thing and sending all of our focus there we're looking at the whole story; internally, externally, the cause of what's going on and bringing the body out of balance, and working with each person individually to bring them back to a greater sense of balance and awareness.

Mr Guichard went that extra mile to provide me with a professional, cost effective and pain relieving massage. I felt younger and more flexible, like I had a spring in my step on my evening walk for the first time in ages after he visited me for the first time.

Brilliant session of Shiatsu was so beneficial as I was really struggling with terrible back pain. After the first season it was virtually gone but I booked a further session the following week and now it feels better than ever

This was my first experience with Jean-Philippe and definitely will not be my last! Jean-Philippe is absolutely amazing! I have already recommended and booked sessions for family and friends. My friend who is a regular client,recommended highly of Jean-Philippe and I am very grateful and pleased overall with his care,dedication to his clients and providing an exceptional level of treatment. I suffer from stress and muscle fatigue. I immediately felt relief and relaxed in his care. Jean-Philippe is a wonderful person who radiates calm and friendly energy. I felt comfortable and at ease during the treatment. Jean-Philippe is knowledgeable and experienced in this field. He unblocked my Qi, focused on my problematic areas and advised me of issues and went through customised aftercare. I've noticed a significant improvement in my mental and physical well-being. Thank you Jean-Philippe, I look forward to our next session. Kind regards, Shannaz

Jean-Phillips is a healer in every sense of the word. He is gentle, calm and supremely intuitive about the nuances of the body and the way emotions are also held and trapped within it. Healing pains has since become a collaborative process with Jean -Phillipe . I feel he is really invested in wanting to help patients heal. One more than one occasion, he has gone over time and one time, almost an hour over, at no extra charge just to ensure that the pain is released. He deeply embodies the wisdom of shiatsu massage and Chi Nei Tsang, which I find is rare, and innately understand the way in which the body and mind are connected. As I come out of sessions, I always feel light and as though I am almost treading on water . I feel a deep state of calm - which for an anxious person like myself feels relieving. In that sense, his artistry with his hands also enables me to creatively change the function of my nervous system, one session at a time. I would highly highly recommend him - Jay
