Tanja Bastia

Hello, my name is Tanja Bastia and I am a Holistic Acupressure and Zen shiatsu practitioner. I practice in Macclesfield and Manchester. I came to shiatsu over ten years ago during a difficult period in my life and felt in love with the healing potential of shiatsu. It has helped me deal with stress, depression and anxiety. I decided to start training in shiatsu to be able to offer it to others. I now offer individual Shiatsu treatments at Bodywise in Manchester and also lead grassroots Shiatsu workshops, focusing on wellbeing and overcoming writers' block. Besides shiatsu, I have been practicing yoga since my teen years and meditation for over ten years. I am also a writer and a researcher (see here for more information).

Research-based, client-centred approach.

Empathy.

Deep listening.

Creating space and conditions for self-healing and empowerment.
