Aleksandra is a very warm, empathetic, caring and professional practitioner, whom I trusted completely. Shiatsu encouraged me to start paying more attention how my body typically reacts to different emotions and I learned to listen and interpret the signals from my body more easily.
Common questions about Shiatsu
1.) How is Shiatsu different from massage?
Massage therapy works primarily on the physical body, with the focus to release tension in the muscles. Shiatsu looks at a person more holistically. For me this always involves mental health too. The session is performed traditionally on the floor. You are fully clothed and no oils are used.
2.) Can I use Shiatsu for my specific condition?
Should you have any doubts if Shiatsu is good for you, feel free to get in touch with me. Please be aware that Shiatsu is not a replacement for medical treatment or psychotherapy. It is a wonderful addition to conventional medicine, that takes into consideration the overall wellbeing, including mental and emotional health.
3.) How many sessions are recommended?
This will depend on your individual needs. Based on the feedback from my clients and my own observation, I’m working in a series of 3 sessions, that take place every 2-4 weeks. There are great benefits in regular sessions, as your body will find it’s own balance and gradually relax deeper and deeper.
4.) What should I wear during a Shiatsu session?
It’s best to wear loose and comfortable clothes. Leggings or yoga pants are great, also a long sleeve-shirt and socks. You can bring your clothes with you and change when you arrive at the practice.
Shiatsu felt like a lighthouse during my journey. Gradually I started to learn to navigate a little bit myself and release the stress and difficult emotions. On top of that, my sleep has significantly improved and my energies restored -Minna-
