A little bit about our practitioner Claire

What inspired you to practice this modality?
I practiced as a Shiatsu practitioner for years and I began to find that some clients ailments would continue to reappear a few weeks or months after a session. I found that through a brief Q and A with them and bypassing their conscious mind, that we were able to detect an emotion (s) that required releasing. Once released the healing process shifted for them sometimes almost immediately and permanently.

What are clients expected to feel from your treatment?

It depends, If they have a hands-off session or zoom/online session, then they tend to feel a lot lighter emotionally and physically and feel more empowered as they now have the tools to be aware of their subconscious stress and how to shift/process it.

If they have a combination treatment of hands-on bodywork and a bioenergetics session then they feel relaxed and sometimes a little tender as physical tension and emotional tension overlap. I always suggest to take it easy after a session and not to exert themselves, a bath, rest & sleep after a session allows the body and mind to integrate healing at a gentler pace.

If they have a purely hands-on Shiatsu/Acupressure massage then they tend to feel relaxed and blissed out, yet a little sore for 24-48 hrs afterwards - akin to a gym workout session, I advise to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water particularly after the session to help the process of tissue repair and flushing.

If cupping is required during any hands-on sessions, then I advise the client that bruising may occur on their skin and may appear for up to a week.
