Healing by manipulation
Our Shiatsu and Reiki specialist, Julie Stubbs, is a qualified therapist and uses two Japanese techniques to heal with her hands.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is the Japanese word for “finger pressure”. By using hand pressure and manipulative techniques, Julie adjusts your body’s physical structure and inner energies to help ward off illness and maintain good health.

Shiatsu massage focuses on the same points as acupuncture. During a shiatsu session you remain fully clothed while Julie moves your limbs and stretches them to release any jitsu, or tension, in the muscles which are causing pain or inflammation. Shiatsu can help with many complaints, including period problems, infertility, back pain, coughs, heart or lung conditions. The treatment is suitable for men and women of all ages, and most people find it very relaxing.

Reiki
Reiki is a simple but profound hands-on healing technique which means “life-force energy” in Japanese. During the healing, Julie places her hands on, or slightly off, your body and it starts to use its own energy to heal itself. Reiki is very relaxing, and an excellent treatment for stress and stress-related symptoms as well as emotional problems.
