Body and mind work together in a dynamic way and it is important to observe this.

Hi, I'm Maggie

Sensing Shiatsu Your Therapist

your shiatsu therapist at Sensing shiatsu.

Shiatsu with me is a process of learning to experience your body as it is, which is a fundamental step in the development of self-awareness. Your body is the medium through which you interact with the world. Your feelings and emotions express themselves in physical sensations. These sensations, the language of the body, are, for example, pulsations, tingling, pain, tension, pressure, temperature. You will feel these sensations during a shiatsu treatment.

Your mind and body work together dynamically. The more you observe this in yourself, the more you understand yourself as a whole. This allows room for change. Shiatsu is a fantastic support medium for this observation.

In my safe and calm treatment room, I meet you with an open heart and spirit. During your treatment I invite you to be present and non-judegemental to your experience, while I work on smoothing and balancing your energy. I ask you to be curious, to look further than what ails you and to dare to look at what lies behind it.

I love to see my clients live their lives with less tension and pain. I love to see them develop a greater awareness and connection between their minds and bodies. I am truly humbled time and time again to see how the effects of shiatsu triggers other positive changes in their lives.

I am honored to be your guide into your inner landscape.

You are welcome for a one-time treatment to get in touch with your body, or for a course of treatments to work on a better relationship with your body to, restore balance and for healing.
