Click here for my latest writing on Chinese Medicine. The foundation of my bodywork is mat-based meridian therapy. Shiatsu is a more modern (about 500 years old) Japanese manual therapy that uses the meridians of acupuncture and an additional set of meridian extensions specific to Zen Shiatsu. Abdominal palpation is the main assessment used to tailor each session to the receiver's needs. Finger pressure (shi = finger, atsu = pressure) along these meridian pathways distinguishes Shiatsu bodywork from other Asian mat styles. It is often referred to as "acupuncture without the needles." Characteristic of my work is direct pressure along the torso, limbs, hands, feet and head, joint rotations and mobilization, stretches, and pressure on specific treatment points.This healing modality is well-suited for me. Shiatsu allows me to use my entire body weight when necessary while remaining relaxed. Additional training in the Thai and Breema bodywork (cousin mat styles) and Barefoot Shiatsu enhances the diverse array of floor-based in my sessions. It has been my honor to witness incredible healing events since beginning my practice in 1998. Clients include cancer survivors, women through all terms of pregnancy, infants and children, athletes, people in deep emotional transitions, and those in active healing phases. Shiatsu is appropriate for all ages.In July 2024 I launched into the next volume of life and am currently building my client base with in-home sessions in Missoula, Montana.
