Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork therapy with its roots in acupuncture. Like many other forms of Oriental medicine, it takes a holistic rather than a symptomatic approach to health and illness. Instead of needles, thumb pressure is used (through clothing), to help restore health and balance to the system. Where appropriate, stretching and massage are included to loosen areas of tension.

Shiatsu, often supported by advice on Clinical Nutrition, is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, from stress and anxiety, to chronic pain. One particular area of interest, gained through Julia’s own personal experience, is in treating cancer patients and their families. She also gives regular preventative treatments to clients who value optimum health. Shiatsu is a wonderful way to relax and alleviate the stresses and strains of fast-paced modern life.
