Common Questions

Are Shiatsu and Acupressure painful?

My work can be as deep or gentle as your body allows. The point of this style of massage is to help your body access a state of relaxation, which is where the healing takes place.
Do you offer Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage?

Shiatsu is different from Western techniques, like Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage — which focus on the problem and solution. Shiatsu, on the other hand, takes a more holistic approach to the body.
Do you use oil?

This style of Shiatsu traditionally does not use oil.
Is Acupressure similar to Acupuncture?

Both use the same system of energetic channels as a road map of the body. While acupuncture uses needles, acupressure exclusively uses hands.
What style of Shiatsu do you do?

I am trained in Zen Shiatsu, which was developed in Japan to combine Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, and psychology. It is rooted in the spiritual wisdom of Taoism and often evokes a trance-like state.
Massage with clothes on?

This type of massage is designed to be done over clothing. You will be clothed the whole time. I suggest wearing something loose fitting. Think what you would wear to work out or relax in.
Do you do erotic or tantric massage?

No. My work is therapeutic only. If you prefer that, I will gladly refer you to another skilled bodyworker who does
