Boost your energy with this Online Shiatsu Class

“Bring the light; spark your energy; brighten up!”

We meet online every two weeks. Learn skills for life that will help you to get well, feel great and stay well.

Upcoming class: Saturday 9th April @ 11am (UK time)

Are you feeling excited for Spring but a little frustrated with ongoing lockdowns or perhaps anxious about your local area opening up?

Join this hour of nourishing self-Shiatsu where you can enjoy Shiatsu-based practices like acupressure, Shiatsu touch and Qi Gong. Learn how you can replenish your Ki (energy), a nearly finite previous pot of Ki that we are born with.

We will cover:

  1. Do-In to wake up you fascia first thing in the morning
  2. Makko Ho meridian stretches to open your energy channels and get your Ki (energy) flowing
  3. Shiatsu touch to calm and anchor you
  4. Self-acupressure using two powerful acupressure points on the Earth merdians of the legs
  5. A simple Qi Gong form to support you with the gentle energies of heaven and earth

All proceeds will be donated to Bowel Cancer UK, a charity that is important to me following my dad’s experience with this disease in 2016. An operation followed by six months of chemo helped him into remission. (I also sent Reiki energy regularly too!)

Background

This class runs every two weeks and reflects my interest in the use of Eastern Medicine for our self-care and especially for when we feel depleted or anxious.

I have experience of giving Shiatsu to people struggling with burnout (also understood as an addiction to over-working) and have first-hand experience of this too. Maintaining sustainable energy levels has become an essential part of my own self-care practice.

A week of Qigong training among the trees🌳 Summer's been spent away from social media dealing with some big life stresses, renovating a 19th century cottage and enjoying a rather unexpected jaunt back into the corporate world writing about legal technologies. (It was actually fun!) In August, I was invited to talk on a podcast by a former PR friend and colleague who is such an inspiration. The amount that woman has been through! She is all about helping others to be happy which chimes with my holistic work - although for me it's about finding balance as a path to happiness, and leading a fulfilling life. We talked about how I integrate my holistic work alongside my 'heady' corporate world (15 years working in the city of London). Theyre a balance that works well for me - a bit of cognitive brain-led stuff geeking out on something techy - and then my sensing and feeling work and the eternal exploration of Chinese Medicine. There is always something new to learn! Now I'm happy to be back in community exploring 'stillness and movement', via the Shibashi Set Two, and hanging out among the hazel grove protecting the yurt - the haven for our training and the perfect sanctuary when the heavens poured and the winds blew. The elements have really thrown it all this week! I led the final meditation on our last day and of course it had to be about the oak. This tree always draws me in the most. Wherever there is an oak, I will want to be near it! The wind howled as we drifted into the ki field of our oak friends and sat in communion with the power of the tees, from roots to crown. A small but very bright rainbow was waiting for us when we stepped outside the yurt. Ive got tons of new inspiration to bring into my own and group practices as I head to tropical pastures for winter.✌️🌴 Catch me in Goa to practice Qigong in a new location - coming soon! #energymoves #qigonggoa #qigongpractice

About Me

I founded SJA Holistics to help people get well, feel great, and stay well using the power of practices derived from Eastern Medicine including Shiatsu, Reiki, Acupressure and Qi Gong.

For over a decade I’ve worked with Ki and have first-hand experience of how energy- and body-work can lead to positive health. Working with the energy body as well as the physical can bring profound changes to mental, emotional and physical issues.

After completing three years of study for the Professional Shiatsu Diploma, I honed my experience working voluntarily for six months in a national UK charity giving Shiatsu to people recovering from substance misuse.

It is my mission to help you recognise your own self-healing ability and to empower you with the skills and knowledge you need to dramatically improve your self-care.
