Hello my name is Ruth, My approach is to accompany you in what you may want to explore in this Shiatsu session. By creating a foundation of settlement for your session, pain, and disturbance may also be helpfully addressed in a supportive way. I trained with the Ki Kai School of Shiatsu in London graduating in 2006. My main and trusted Tutor was Graham Crisp who supported me to create a fluid and empathetic bond with my Clients which can also become invigorating and dynamic where this is useful. I had further and on-going training in Seiki Soho, an approach developed by the late Akinobu Kishi. This is a gentle holding practice; a way of being together on a human to human level in order to follow this internal journey of Ki energy as it arises. This works through attention to your breathing and noticing together, your patterns of muscular release made possible within a session. For release and ease to occur, it is helpful to follow areas too which may feel tight and stressed within an overall sense of support. I sometimes see people as plants that need rooting in order to flourish and move more freely both outwardly in movement and inwardly at a level of inner value and emotional resilience. Because Shiatsu is a human practice and essentially a Therapeutic Relationship, my hands as an experienced Therapist, create a listening link into understanding how things are unfolding right now for you. They give me information and they simultaneously create the conditions for me to know what is needed by you through the quality of my touch. That quality is adaptive and sensitive to your changing and evolving situation within a session. This may help to allow for a wider pattern of choice and possible expression in your day to day life outside of the session too. I see the value of the imagination and human creativity in my Clients. That this can start at a micro level of interest and concern- in tiny thresholds of change and adaptation in our body-mind as a living system of mutual support, never fails to fascinate me. I have made this linkage between the imagination and the body my area of special interest and Research. This has led me to carry the work into all kinds of areas of neuro-plasticity through the body's sensitivity and openness to change with both children and adults who have neurological, communication and motor conditions. I see Health and ideas everywhere in my clients. Everyone has their own particular and unique dance when conditions are right.

My goal is to transform lives through this bodywork therapy and alleviate or eliminate pain and illness from individuals with the compassionate use of Zen Shiatsu for you to achieve a better quality of life.   I have been a qualified Zen Shiatsu practitioner in London since 2019.  The treatment spaces I use are in Belsize Park, Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith, and West Ealing.    Over the years I have continually added to my practice by learning and qualifying in dry cupping, moxibustion, on-site chair massage, manual lymphatic drainage - Vodder method, and ScarWork™. 

Would you like to keep calm, stress free and sleep well? My area of focus is reduction of stress, anxiety and alleviation of insomnia, but my practice is not limited to these aspects alone. Esperanza Holistics studio is a safe place for you to express your emotions, suppressed feelings and insecurities. My approach is non-judgmental, I believe that release of emotions is an important part of the healing. 

Hi, I'm Talia and have loved Shiatsu ever since I found it on a short foundation course in Leeds around 2006. I have been a member of the Shiatsu Society since 2010, when I was finally in one place long enough to complete my 3 year Shiatsu Diploma training. In the time since, I have run a private practice in Leeds, then in Nelson NZ, and back to Leeds, with some work in York. Alongside this, I have been honoured to be able to share Shiatsu in some very special organisations: as a volunteer at St. Gemma's Hospice in Leeds (where I provided both Reiki and Shiatsu sessions for patients and carers), volunteering with Access to Health and Healing: providing complimentary therapies to asylum seekers in Leeds, and also providing Shiatsu for people with chronic conditions as part of a Positive Care Program run by Touchstone in Leeds.  

I have been living in St Leonards on Sea since 2016 and discovered The Shiatsu College Hastings and started training in 2017 and graduated in 2022. I give treatments from my dedicated space at home and at a monthly low cost clinic in Eastbourne at the Natural Fitness Centre. I have been an assistant at the Shiatsu College Hastings since 2022 and started Shiatsu Teacher Training in September 2024.

I have been running my home clinic for 10 years even though I fully qualified in 2025 from the London College of Shiatsu.  I began learning shiatsu at the British School of Shiatsu in 2015, training in Shiatsu Shintai and still use fascia release often in my treatments, using body cushions, as well as the traditional futon bodywork.  I balance my clinic with my part-time work as a secondary school teacher and run clinic days on Mondays, some weekends and evenings.  Do contact me if you are interested in a treatment. I do a quick phone chat just to make sure shiatsu is right for you and to answer any questions.

My shiatsu sessions are designed to support you to gain and/or maintain your physical, mental, emotional, relational and occupational well-being. I work in Wellington and the surrounding areas of Somerset and Devon offering home visits & concessions where necessary.   My youngest receiver was a 2 year old, the oldest, who I've been working with for 10 years, is now 100!  All are welcome.   For more information about my work or to book an appointment please text or call 07981 104241.

 “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got!” Sometimes just being an ordinary human in this world today takes everything we have. Getting up and out in to the world, to do what we have to do to-go to work, walk the dogs, look after the children/elderly parents, arrange medical appointments, car insurance, shopping, cooking, washing, cleaning....the seemingly never ending merry go round of stuff to do just to keep spinning those plates! Shiatsu can be an amazing way of offering some respite and support. I have worked with clients coming for shiatsu for a variety of reasons including support for rotator cuff injury, shoulders, stress related insomnia and headaches, MS, knee pain, hip problems, anxiety, lower back pain, grief after the death of a relative, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, COPD, exhaustion, and for health maintenance. I work from a lovely room at the Lovat Hotel, in Fort Augustus in the Scottish Highlands.  I completed my training in 2019 with Shiatsu College Manchester and have recently become a teaching assistant at the college. I am also a qualified reflexologist (since 1998). I offer a safe, non judgemental space for people to have time to ‘just be’, to relax and allow their body and mind to relax. I feel that Shiatsu is a cooperative experience. Connecting with your energy in order to feel where it is depleted or stuck I use a variety of ‘massage’ like techniques, muscle stretches and joint rotations to create space in the body for energy to flow, calm the nervous system, release tension and restore balance.
