Shiatsu is extremely beneficial during pregnancy. Given by a professionally trained practitioner it is safe & non-invasive. The recipient remains fully clothed during treatments. Specific meridians are worked on the mother-to-be to support the processes & changes which occur during the pregnancy, & eases discomfort. Shiatsu can also help treat fertility problems.

Shiatsu is soothing, reassuring & enjoyable. It empowers a woman to feel confident & supported through her pregnancy. It can also address the many problems which may arise, such as the following:

Shiatsu facilitates deep relaxation and is supportive during all stages of pregnancy.

“I was seeing Liz for a few months before I became pregnant, and continued to receive regular fortnightly treatments throughout the pregnancy, which helped me to stay calm and relaxed. At 38 weeks due to a rise in my blood pressure, I was induced, and gave birth quickly and easily to healthy twins after 2 hours in labour. I would highly recommend Shiatsu to any woman having fertility problems, as well as during pregnancy and after giving birth, to help with relaxation and general support and reassurance. I continue to see Liz on a monthly basis.” Ruth G. [Bristol]

“I had Shiatsu treatments from Liz Godfrey throughout my pregnancy, which relieved tension and physical discomfort. She gave me Shiatsu in the hospital delivery suite for the last 5 hours of my labour, and I gave birth naturally to a healthy baby girl. Shiatsu made all the difference, helping me to relax, deal with the pain, and get myself through it. I would recommend her as a support to other women going through the whole process of pregnancy and childbirth.” Kate L. [Bristol]
