Shiatsu and Body-Based Therapies
We take a comprehensive look at your needs using an East Asian Medicine framework with diagnosis and manual modalities with the aim to create lasting and embodied change. Bodywork is fully clothed with the option of including cupping, moxibustion and guasha if required or desired.
Trauma Informed Body-Based Therapies
We work for private and government funded organisations to support victims and survivors of crime with body-based therapies. Treating the body for people who have experienced something difficult or traumatic can be an important addition to talk therapy, supporting embodied symptoms associated with the trauma response.
This work can assist clients by providing tools to help integrate these events while holding a safe space for exploration and body experiencing.
