Sensing shiatsu | Tailored shiatsu massage treatments in Utrecht
Experience the power of shiatsu therapy with Sensing shiatsu
Shiatsu therapy is a form of bodywork from Japan. It is based on ancient eastern medicine, whose concept is that everything in this universe is essentially energy which needs to flow. Your body is no different, and when you feel stuck, feel tension, feel pain, it's seen as energy that isn't flowing properly.
A shiatsu treatment feels like a massage, but your shiatsu therapist's focus is to promote the free circulation of energy (qi) through your body, leaving you feeling more balanced.
Shiatsu treatments are centering and nourishing. We work on a soft mat on the ground and you remain clothed throughout the treatment.
At Sensing shiatsu, you'll experience shiatsu with a touch that responds to your bodily reactions, through sustained pressure and gentle stretches. Each treatment is unique.
The deep calm you'll experience at Sensing shiatsu creates space for:
Connection
Reonnect with your body by resting your attention on the subtle movement of your body's energy and by experiencing the effect of the treatment. It brings you into the present moment.
Balance
You'll experience deep relaxation and feel more grounded and connected because the treatment stimulates your qi (energy) and restores balance to your body and mind.
Healing
You''ll recover because your capacity for self healing is stimulated. We do this by addressing both your complaint, and its underlying causes.
Choose shiatsu therapy when you have a complaint, or purely for the beneficial effect of the attentive shiatsu touch.
Shiatsu therapy with focus and care
Hi, I'm Maggie, your shiatsu therapist at Sensing shiatsu. I'm a certified Iokai shiatsu therapist. Since 2018, I've been giving tailored shiatsu treatments in my light and calm treatment space close to Utrecht city centre.
Shiatsu therapy has been my entry point to a more conscious and balanced way of living. Body and mind are connected. By listening carefully to my body, I know myself better, I take better care of myself and as a result, I experience life with more freedom and live more in the present moment. This is how I wish to support you, by restoring balance to your body, mind and spirit.
A shiatsu treatment with me is time to reflect on what is going on within you. By giving space for what is, you create more possibility for change.
My special interest is in using shiatsu to support clients with stress symptoms, emotional triggers, blockages and trauma.
I am a native English speaker, also fluent in Dutch.
I invite you to take a journey through your body.
Shiatsu treatments are often partially reimbursed by Dutch health insurers in their '"extras" (aanvullende) packages under alternative medicine.

Maggie helped me with a chronic, stabbing pain in my hip that I'd had for years. Her treatments worked quickly to reduce and then completely remove the pain. Maggie is a professional and sensitive therapist. Her approach is holistic, and she has the skills to improve health issues.
Rozemarijn
I've been coming to Maggie for years now, and I am very happy with her shiatsu treaments. They are a positive contribution to my life. I exercise a lot, and have a busy life. Maggie's shiatsu treaments help me to do it all and to feel good in my skin. In fact, I don't remember how I did without them.
Maggie knows very precisely the cause of my complaint and how to address it. She does this by listening very carefully to your body, feeling and seeing how your (body) reacts during treatment.
Sometimes I come with a specific complaint and sometimes with a more general desire e.g. to be more energetic. There is always an immediate positive effect during and after her treatment; I feel blockages opening up and energy flowing again."
