Pregnancy

Shiatsu facilitates deep relaxation and can address the many issues which may arise during pregnancy. Shiatsu can be extremely beneficial during pregnancy. Given by a professionally trained practitioner it is safe and non-invasive. The recipient remains fully clothed during treatments. Specific meridians are worked on to ease discomfort and support the processes and changes which occur during pregnancy.
