Preparing for your Distance Shiatsu Session

An hour of downtime in our hectic world is a rare thing! This is your invitation to explore moments of stillness and experience the healing power of shiatsu energy.

I will ring you at the agreed time to open the session, and guide you into the session. We will stay connected throughout and there will be time at the start and end for discussion.

I want you to get as much from the session as you can, so please read the following guidance.

  1. If possible, choose a space where you are unlikely to be distracted – by other people, neighbours, outside noise, pets, traffic. If you live with others, let them know that you would appreciate some quiet time throughout your session!
  2. An eye mask might help to remove visual distractions.
  3. Turn your phone notifications to silent.
  4. Wear adequate clothing and socks – some people feel cold when lying still for a period of time.
  5. Use cushions and props eg under the knees to support your lower back.
  6. Avoid eating or drinking any stimulants at least two hours prior to your session.
  7. Drink plenty of water afterwards.

 

If you have any other queries about how to prepare or what to expect, email hello@energymoves.one.

Look forward to connecting with you!

Qigong training and connection

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!)

I was invited to talk on a podcast about integrating my holistic work alongside my 'heady' work. Theyre a balance that works well for me - a bit of cognitive brain-led stuff and then my sensing and feeling work.

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.

Leading the meditation, the final gathering on our last day, was a special moment. Of course, I had to do something about trees, and it had to be the oak. 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.

We have experienced all the elements this week, including a small but very bright rainbow after the meditation when the rain poured suddenly.

Ive got tons of new inspiration to bring into my own and group practices as I head to Goa for winter.

Autumn is a time to gather all we have experienced over the past few months, and refine it to carry the most important bits onwards with us on this wild ride through human life. It's not for the faint hearted!

The darkness is drawing in - which also means it's time to find the tropics! ✌️🌴

Back soon.....

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.
