Zen Shiatsu is a gentle Japanese therapeutic treatment, rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This holistic therapy aims to balance the body's vital Ki (life force energy), promoting and stimulating its natural healing abilities.
Treatment begins with a gentle abdominal touch to the Hara. This allows GEM to identify the unique relationship between your Kyo (deficient) and Jitsu (excessive) energetic meridian patterns. GEM then tailors the session to rebalance these energetic states, facilitating equilibrium within your meridians and restoring harmonious Ki flow throughout your body.
During the session, GEM uses a sequence of gentle massage techniques, applying sustained, perpendicular pressure with her entire body. Using palms, elbows, fingers, and thumbs, she works along your meridians (energy pathways), focusing on specific tsubos (acupressure points) to release stagnated Ki.
The pressure is adjusted to your individual needs, ranging from gentle and listening to firm and penetrating. Gentle stretching is also used to help disperse excess energy. These techniques work to assist stagnated Ki and its allied organs, encouraging better circulation and rebalancing your meridians.
