About

Integrated holistic therapy service tailored to individual needs. A combination of Shiatsu, Chinese medicinal principles, and therapeutic tools including transpersonal psychotherapy and energetic healing and teachings drawn from Indigenous wisdom traditions of my native South America.

Upper Ferntree Gully and various locations around Melbourne. Home sessions and Skype consults available for special needs.

Shiatsu is a massage-like form of Japanese bodywork that uses the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It works by accessing the meridians (energy lines) that exist throughout the body, and by working with the principles of Yin and Yang.

In our sessions we follow these rivers of light to access the places in the body that are knotted up, tight, or weak, empty and tired. We work by dispersing areas of energy that are excessive, and nourishing what is deficient. This practice relies on subtle energetic quality of touch as well as various diagnostic tools to come up with a treatment plan suitable for you.

We work fully clothed on a mat on the ground, and the body is palpated with the thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees, and sometimes feet. We also stretch the body and hold important points of the body for re-vitalisation and reinvigoration.

This nature of deep work can open up many things in our body, mind and soul as we come into alignment and ease, and as we build on our relationships to our breath, to touch, pain, discomfort, and our own boundaries. A good practitioner will give you a space to feel safe in so you can release and let go and tune in to yourself to remember a natural state of harmony.

We will talk through together anything that may come up in the process.

Physical symptoms can be treated, pain can be alleviated to create ease and energetic patterns of thought, emotion and experience can be explored in a safe and sacred way.
