In the beginning of every session there always is a conversation to see how you are doing, to answer questions or to speak about possible changes in your daily habits that can benefit your well beeing.

Traditionally, Shiatsu is practised on a futon (Japanese mat) on the floor, where you lie either on your back, your belly or in side position, wearing comfortable clothes (you can change in my practice). To treat the whole body the position is usually changed once or twice during a treatment.

Your only job is trying to let go as much as possible and to observe the changes that happen within your body. The treatment is held in silence, so you have a chance to relax on a deep level. A Shiatsu treatment usually takes about 40 – 45 minutes. Including the conversation in the beginning, a session will take about one hour.
