Time For You Introduces Our New Shiatsu Practitioner,

Carolyn St John Lic.Ac.M.R.S.S.'


Carolyn's treatment draws on her years of experience
and knowledge of Oriental Medicine, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga and Meditation.




Shiatsu is given through loose clothing, normally on a Japanese cotton futon mattress.
sometimes people prefer to be treated on a treatment couch.
treatment is approx 50 mins.



The gentle application of thumb and palm pressure and stretching techniques relieves muscle tension, eases joint stiffness and re-aligns the structure of the body.
Shiatsu helps to correct imbalances in the functioning of the internal organs.
Treatment is deeply relaxing and has an overall calming effect, thus allowing the body's  self-healing process to work more effectively.


Shiatsu is a massage modality that supports and 
strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance 
itself. It works on the whole person - not just with the 
physical body, but also with the psychological, emotional 
and spiritual aspects of being.

Shiatsu originated in Japan from traditional Chinese 
medicine, with influences from more recent Western 
therapies. Although shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in 
Japanese, in practice a practitioner uses touch, 
comfortable pressure and manipulative techniques to 
adjust the body’s physical structure and balance its 
energy flow. It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular 
treatments can alleviate stress and illness and maintain 
health and well-being.

Shiatsu has a number of different styles, philosophical 
approaches and theoretical bases and practitioners 
around the world are still evolving new approaches to 
treatment. Some concentrate on acupressure 
(acupuncture) points, while others emphasise more 
general work on the body or along the pathways of 
energy to influence the Ki that flows in them. Other styles 
high­light diagnostic systems, such as the Five Element 
system or the macrobiotic approach. However all are 
based on traditional Chinese medicine
