Gabriela /Gabi Irvine

Gabi is a Shiatsu therapist and teacher with extensive experience, practising since 2006. 

Her work is grounded in a whole‑person understanding of health, recognising the interconnection between physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. She supports clients through a wide range of conditions and life transitions, offering a steady, regulated therapeutic environment. Gabi works with clients of all genders and brings clarity, sensitivity and professionalism to each session.

 She also facilitates women’s groups, including Perimenopause Circles , providing structured support within a community setting.

Gabi is also a co‑founder of Shiatsu Hub, a collaborative initiative created to make Shiatsu more accessible within community settings. Through this work, she partners with fellow practitioners to offer low‑cost sessions, outreach projects and wellbeing events across Edinburgh. Shiatsu Hub aims to increase public understanding of Shiatsu and provide supportive, inclusive spaces where people can experience the benefits of therapeutic touch.

Gabi’s treatment approach brings together the therapeutic precision of Shiatsu with the restorative qualities of breath, embodied awareness and the energetic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Taoist philosophy. She works with the physical, emotional and subtle layers of the body to encourage regulation, ease and a deeper sense of inner coherence. Each session is shaped in response to the client’s presentation and capacity, offering a safe, attuned and thoughtfully held space for meaningful change.
