Japanese-Chinese bodywork
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of mindful bodywork, whose roots lie in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Shiatsu" translates as "finger pressure". Meridians and pressure points are stimulated, massaged, and treated in combination using the palms, fingertips, or thumbs.
Through gentle pressure, stretches and movements, Shiatsu regulates the energy flow and helps you to release stress, find inner peace and draw new strength.
In the south of Leipzig, I offer you a protected space where mindful touch, soothing scents, relaxing sounds and warming tea accompany your treatment.
Body, mind and soul in balance
Shiatsu views the human being as a unified whole. This understanding of health is rooted in Eastern tradition, where the principle of Yin and Yang forms the basis. In addition, it incorporates the explanatory model of the five elements – or the five phases of transformation – which describes five manifestations of life energy.
Stress, tension, or exhaustion are signals that your body is seeking balance.
Shiatsu helps you to reconnect with yourself – and regain your balance.

Body, mind and soul in balance
Your Shiatsu treatment takes place while you are fully clothed on a mat on the floor and lasts about 60 minutes. Including the initial consultation, foot bath, and rest period, you should plan on about 90 minutes in total.
Gentle, well-measured pressure on your body, targeted stretches, and gentle movements of your joints help release tension and restore balance to your body. We’ll speak very little during the treatment, this allows you to quietly tune into your body and focus your awareness precisely on the areas where I’m applying pressure.
Each treatment is tailored specifically to you. Please let me know before we begin if you have any physical limitations or special needs I should be aware of.
I accompany the treatment with pleasant scents: spicy, fresh, or floral, and gentle, relaxing sounds.
Afterward, you can rest on the mat and enjoy the relaxation with a cup of tea. This way, your Shiatsu treatment at my practice in southern Leipzig becomes a small ritual for body, mind, and soul.
To truly experience the profound effects of Shiatsu, I recommend a series of at least three to six treatments; you can use my bonus card for this.
