It is a form of meditation for the giver and the practitioner will benefit as well as the client during a treatment.

What to Expect

What to Expect

The treatment usually lasts between 45 minutes to an hour. Prior to the Shiatsu treatment your practitioner may do a 15-minute intake session and then a reading of your Hara (or energy center). This is located on your belly. The Hara reading will consist of a very gentle and non invasive palpation of the abdomen. The Hara is like the base of all the meridians of the body and is a very important tool in beginning any shiatsu treatment. The practitioner can get a sense energetically what is going on with the client through a Hara diagnosis. Combined with an oral intake it will help the shiatsu practitioner work on the meridians of your body and organ systems bringing them into balance.
