A shiatsu treatment is almost always a good idea. It works with your body's natural energy and helps restore balance. This is something most people can benefit from. Shiatsu can be especially helpful if you:
During the treatment, your energy is gently stimulated and encouraged to flow in areas where it may feel blocked. This may sound abstract, but the effect is often felt immediately: you leave feeling more relaxed and energized. By restoring balance in your body's energy system, both physical and mental complaints may be reduced.
Shiatsu is also beneficial even when you have no specific complaints. It's a wonderful way to relax, strengthen your inner balance, and help prevent future health issues. It can be your way of actively supporting your own wellbeing and health.
In the case of fever, a treatment is not recommended.
This question cannot be answered unambiguously. A single treatment is, in itself, beneficial for your health and overall wellbeing. Most people notice a significant difference afterwards — they feel more relaxed and experience a greater sense of calm.
Long-standing complaints may also improve after a treatment, but are often not fully resolved. In such cases, we can look at a treatment plan to help reduce symptoms more sustainably. Through a series of sessions, you may experience more lasting results for the issue you're coming in with — whether it concerns back or hip pain, or mental tension and stress.

A treatment begins with a short intake conversation to discuss how you're feeling and what you'd like to focus on.
During the treatment, you remain fully clothed — preferably wearing comfortable, warm, and flexible clothing such as sweatpants and a T-shirt. You lie comfortably on a tatami mat on the floor. The treatment consists of slow, flowing movements in which I:
The treatment is performed without the use of oil. I work on your whole body, with extra attention given to areas that need it most. The pressure is firm yet comfortable — never painful. This allows you to deeply relax during the session.
Afterwards, you're given a moment to rest and come back gently. It's recommended to take it easy for the rest of the day so the treatment can fully integrate. It's also important to drink plenty of water.
A treatment lasts approximately 60 minutes, including the intake and time to rest afterwards. When booking, 70 minutes is reserved to allow for a slight overrun, ensuring there's no rush at the end. That would be a shame after such a deeply relaxing treatment!
