shiatsu
Shiatsu at Integrative Healing Arts is a full-bodywork therapy designed to harmonize energy, relieve stress, and promote deep relaxation.
Performed fully clothed on a soft mat, Shiatsu combines acupressure, assisted stretching, and mindful breathwork. It’s a dance between practitioner and receiver — a dialogue through touch that helps the body, mind, and spirit return to their natural rhythm.
“Shiatsu invites you to receive - to let go of effort, to open the heart and allow healing to unfold naturally.”
A Transformative Experience
Shiatsu is more than massage - it’s a form of healing communication. The practitioner listens deeply through touch, responding moment by moment to the body’s needs. Shiatsu balances the flow of energy through touch, stretching and guided movement. Each movement encourages circulation, releases blocked energy, and calms the nervous system.
Clients often describe their sessions as:
Deeply relaxing and meditative
Emotionally freeing — releasing held tension or sadness
Restorative to posture, energy, and circulation
Grounding, heart-opening, and rejuvenating
Shiatsu can leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and profoundly connected — a transcendent experience that renews your sense of wholeness..
Preparing for Your Session
Shiatsu is performed fully clothed.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing such as pants, a cotton long-sleeve shirt, and socks.
Avoid tight or restrictive garments, which can limit movement and the flow of treatment.
