Frequently Asked Questions

Shiatsu massage is a unique healing practice that originated in Japan and is based on ancient Chinese medicine principles. 

It involves applying gentle pressure, stretching, and rhythmic movements using fingers, palms, and thumbs along the body's energy channels, known as meridians. 

Shiatsu stimulates the body's own natural healing ability and aims to balance the body's energy flow, promote relaxation, relieve tension, and support overall well-being. 

At Serenity Shiatsu, I'm thrilled to introduce you to the wonderful world of Shiatsu massage and its countless benefits.

Shiatsu massage offers a wide range of benefits for both the body and mind. Some of the key benefits include:

• Relaxation and stress relief: Shiatsu helps melt away tension, promote deep relaxation, and reduce stress levels.
• Pain relief: It can provide relief from muscle aches, joint pain, headaches, and chronic pain conditions.
• Improved circulation: by stimulating blood and lymphatic flow, Shiatsu enhances overall circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues while aiding in the removal of toxins.
• Enhanced energy and vitality: Shiatsu works to balance the body's energy flow, leaving you feeling revitalized, rejuvenated, and more energized.
• Better sleep: Many clients report improved sleep quality and patterns after receiving Shiatsu massage.
• Emotional well-being: Shiatsu can help release emotional blockages, promote a sense of calm, and improve overall emotional well-being.

At Serenity Shiatsu, we are passionate about helping you experience these incredible benefits and supporting your journey towards optimal health and well-being.

A Shiatsu session usually lasts around 60 to 90 minutes. However, the duration can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. 

During this time, I will take the necessary time to understand your unique concerns, provide a comprehensive treatment, and ensure you experience the full benefits of Shiatsu massage.

Shiatsu massage is typically performed fully clothed. Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended to allow for ease of movement during the session. You won't need to undress or use oils or lotions as in traditional massage.

Shiatsu is designed to work through clothing, making it a convenient and accessible option for everyone.
