MOVEMENT SHIATSU / SOMATIC BODYWORK
What a Session Is Like? A Movement Shiatsu session takes place fully clothed on a comfortable futon or massage table. Through gentle touch, guided movement, and mindful dialogue, we explore how your body expresses itself—where it holds, where it yields, and where it longs to move differently. You may be invited to breathe into certain areas, to make small movements, or to notice internal sensations. This active participation helps you develop a deeper relationship with your own body and fosters self-empowerment. The process is not about imposing change but about inviting awareness—allowing your body-mind to discover new possibilities from within. Many people experience a session as deeply relaxing and insightful. You may leave feeling more grounded, connected, and present in your own skin—with a clearer sense of how your emotions, posture, and energy interrelate. Why Choose Movement Shiatsu Movement Shiatsu is particularly beneficial if you wish to: Release chronic tension or old movement habits Explore the emotional roots of physical discomfort Reconnect with parts of your body that feel “numb” or cut off Cultivate embodied self-awareness and resilience Take an active role in your own healing process Rather than treating symptoms, Movement Shiatsu opens a space for body-mind dialogue—a space where insight, movement, and transformation can arise naturally.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
At Heartfelt Hands, my approach to Manual Lymphatic Drainage is gentle, attentive, and deeply therapeutic. This treatment is designed to help your body restore its natural flow by supporting the lymphatic system, your internal “waste management” and immune network. Using soft, rhythmic, and precise touch, I guide the lymph back into movement, helping to reduce swelling, ease heaviness, and support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Many clients describe it as a calming, nurturing experience that leaves them feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to their bodies. MLD is particularly beneficial if you experience: Fluid retention or swelling Post-surgical inflammation (once cleared by your surgeon) Chronic tension or fatigue Low immunity or sluggishness A general sense of heaviness in the body or mind My treatments are never rushed. I always begin by listening to you, and to your body. Together, we create a space where your system can unwind and rebalance at its own pace. If you're looking for a treatment that is soft in touch but deeply effective, Manual Lymphatic Drainage offers a beautifully holistic way to support your health, recovery, and overall well-being.

HOLISTIC MASSAGE
Holistic massage is a deeply relaxing and restorative treatment that supports the body, mind, and emotional wellbeing as a whole. Rather than focusing only on areas of tension or pain, holistic massage looks at the whole person — recognising that physical discomfort is often connected to stress, lifestyle, emotional strain, and patterns held in the body over time. Each session is tailored to your individual needs. Through a combination of skilled therapeutic touch, flowing massage techniques, and attentive presence, the treatment works to release muscular tension, calm the nervous system, and restore balance within the body. Holistic massage can help to: • Relieve muscle tension and stiffness • Reduce stress and anxiety • Improve circulation and mobility • Support recovery from physical or emotional fatigue • Promote deeper relaxation and better sleep • Increase body awareness and overall wellbeing At Heartfelt Hands Therapies, holistic massage is offered in a safe, respectful, and nurturing space, where you are invited to slow down, reconnect with your body, and allow the nervous system to shift from tension into deep rest. Sessions are adapted to your comfort level and may incorporate elements of therapeutic massage, mindful touch, breath awareness, and body listening, helping the body release tension naturally. Many people experience not only physical relief but also a sense of grounding, clarity, and emotional ease after a session. Whether you are dealing with chronic tension, feeling overwhelmed by stress, or simply in need of time to reset and recharge, holistic massage offers a gentle yet powerful way to support your health and wellbeing.
