Shiatsu

Stimulate the flow of healing energy

Shiatsu is a Japanese manual therapy based on pressure applied with the fingers, hands, and elbows to specific points on the body, known as “acupuncture points or pressure points.” It aims to balance the vital energy (Ki) flowing through the meridians. It promotes deep relaxation, relieves physical tension, and supports the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation. Beyond treatment, Shiatsu supports a holistic process based on self-awareness, emotional regulation, and lasting recovery.

This gentle and non-invasive approach acts on multiple levels—nervous, immune, and circulatory—helping to reduce stress, relieve muscle pain, improve mobility, and boost vitality.

Origins and evolution

Derived from ancient Chinese practices (Tao-Yinn), Shiatsu developed in Japan alongside Amma and Do-In. In the 20th century, Tokujiro Namikoshi and Shizuto Masunaga contributed to its growth and to its modern, holistic dimension.

Furthermore, after studying and practicing Thai massage since 2007, I developed a personal approach, Thaytsu. This method is a synergy between the passive yoga of Thai massage and the deep energetic work of Shiatsu. Thaytsu, born from this encounter between energetic depth and bodily dynamism, offers a complete and immersive experience through pressures, mobilizations, and stretches, for a holistic and transformative treatment.
