About Now & Zen Shiatsu

---

 The modern lifestyle induces a tendency to run on adrenalin, the mind focused either on the future or the past – what needs to be done, what is desired, what is feared, and what is regretted. Seldom do we take the time to be in the present moment and simply be. 

This is where true rest and true healing take place. 

Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. For this to happen we need to stop and take the time to rest, restore balance, and reconnect with true relaxation of mind, emotions and body.

 ZEN is a state of calm attentiveness where one is guided by the intuition of the body rather than the chatter of the mind or the tides of the emotions.

There is no better time than NOW to take the next step towards the enhanced vitality and calm that comes from a balanced and peaceful energy - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Treat yourself to the deeply relaxing experience of Now & Zen Shiatsu. 

Shiatsu is a therapeutic form of bodywork akin to acupressure which goes beyond individual point therapy to encompass the whole meridian. It involves measured body weight, maintaining an appropriate level of connection for therapeutic effect. 

Shiatsu induces a profoundly relaxed state, which is the optimal state for healing, as this is when the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged. 

The aim of shiatsu is to balance and harmonise the qi (energy) of the meridians which optimises functioning of the whole body and strengthens the body’s own healing abilities.

Shiatsu is an excellent therapy for improving and maintaining health, resolving feelings of dis-ease or dis-harmony before it progresses to actual disease in the body.
