Zen Shiatsu is a gentle and rejuvenating form of Asian Bodywork Therapy, similar to massage, energy healing, and yoga combined. It's performed fully dressed with no oils. Receivers wear comfortable clothes for this soothing and nurturing experience. Similar to acupuncture without needles, Shiatsu targets specific acupoints on the body to relieve pain, tension, tightness, and discomfort while clients relax deeply. Clients report feeling stress relieved and physical pain and discomfort significantly reduced and often eliminated entirely.
