Sunbear Shiatsu
Balancing Qi for HarmonyIn your shiatsu treatment, you lie on a comfortable Japanese style futon on the floor, fully dressed, covered by a blanket and supported by pillows and bolsters where needed. Your body will slow down and reach a full state of relaxation. You will stay warm and comfortable while the ambient temperature is adjusted according to your needs. You will feel intermittently held, gently rocked and stretched, while massaged with fingers, hands, palms, elbows, forearms and knees. Your qi and flow will be unblocked in your meridians and acupressure points and you will feel energized and revitalised. You will feel a strong physical rebalancing, reduction of pain and stress and feel emotional stronger. After shiatsu, clients report feeling stronger physical and emotional resilience, improved sleeping patterns and increased energy levels. Receiving regular shiatsu can alleviate long-term patterns of physical and emotional discomfort.

Excellent service, Gerald has a very high level of medical perception, and can see issues with my physical health without me even mentioning them. His regular treatments are making noticeable progress towards healing a back problem that Physio and Chiro had difficulty treating, due to the need to use soft techniques to slowly change the tissue positioning.
What a wonderful experience! Gerald is a welcoming and genuine practitioner with whom it is easy to feel comfortable. I have been for two shiatsu treatments here. Both times I have left feeling deeply peaceful yet also energised and ready to face the world. My body has felt a greater sense of ease and balance subsequent to the treatments. Thank you!
