Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork that uses gentle pressure, stretches, and joint rotations to promote relaxation and balance the body’s energy flow. It is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles and is performed using fingers, thumbs, palms, and elbows.
During a Shiatsu session, you’ll lie down fully clothed, and I will use hands-on techniques along energy pathways to release tension and restore balance. Sessions are deeply relaxing and can be adjusted to your comfort level.
Shiatsu can relieve a variety of physical and mental conditions, including back pain, headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, anxiety, and stress. The goal is to restore the body’s
natural balance and encourage self-healing.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid eating a heavy meal right before your session. Arriving a few minutes early to relax and centre yourself can also help you get the most from the experience.
Shiatsu is based on Eastern medicine principles, focusing on balancing energy (Qi) in the body, while Western massage typically focuses on muscle manipulation. Shiatsu is done over clothing and involves rhythmic pressure along meridians rather than kneading muscles.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Shiatsu is performed fully clothed, so there’s no need to undress, and the techniques are applied over your clothing.
Shiatsu is generally safe for most people. However, please inform me if you are pregnant, have injuries, or have any medical conditions. We can adjust techniques to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
The number of sessions depends on your goals and individual needs. Some people benefit from a single session for relaxation, while others seek regular sessions for ongoing support with specific conditions.
Yes, Shiatsu is known for its calming effects and can be very helpful for managing stress and anxiety. By promoting relaxation and balancing the body’s energy, Shiatsu can help alleviate mental tension and improve emotional well-being.
Shiatsu may help manage chronic pain by releasing tension, improving circulation, and balancing energy. It’s not a cure but can provide significant relief and support the body’s healing process.
EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on Google Cheryl FullerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After searching for an EFT therapist on line. I came across riverside healing. I read the reviews and was very impressed by the excellent service karolyn had offered others, from what their reviews said. However as we all know everyone has different views of what is good and not so good. The only way to find this out was to experience for myself. Fortunately the reviews were spot on. Karolyn is very welcoming,friendly, very supportive, understanding, non judgemental and extremely good at what she does. I have also trained in counselling and should know what to expect. Karolyn was perfect and is exactly what I needed. She did not extend our sessions unnecessarily and gave me enough sessions to allow me to work through my stuff. I would have paid just to continue to see her for a chat as she was so nice. I can't praise this lady enough for her what she does but I would highly recommend her to anyone needing her service. Thank you karolyn for all you have done for me 👍Posted on Google Earl EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn’t sure about going to therapy because I thought it meant you were weak in my opinion but how wrong was I. When I met Karolyn she made you feel safe and comfortable to open up my fears and concerns. After only a few sessions I felt so much better within myself and grew stronger and happier person. With empathy and caring way I knew she was the right person to help me and I am so grateful to have found her. She helped me to face and release my inner pain and understand what I needed to do so I could heal. I couldn’t have come this far accepting the past hurt and pain I have been experiencing for quite some years. She has helped me tremendously in this process of healing and putting tools in place to protect myself and safeguard my peace. I am very appreciative to her and feel bless to have found her. I have only gratitude to her, thank you so much.Posted on Google Jolene DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Therapy sessions with Karolyn really helped me through a bad time. I have learnt techniques to help support myself and I feel so much more steadier and secure in myself. Thank you Karolyn, I will always recommend you to anybody who needs help, you are amazing at what you do and very professional and passionate. Jolene xxPosted on Google Alison MasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently had a few tapping sessions with Karolyn. Before coming to her I had never come across this kind of therapy before. I can honestly say how impressed I was with both the therapy and how welcome and relaxed Karolyn made me feel. Her treatment room is so warm and calm giving such a lovely and relaxed environment from the moment you enter the room. Karolyn makes you feel most welcome to her home. The sessions I had were extremely helpful and I have now learnt something new that I can take away with me and use moving forward. They were very helpful and I feel I have learnt a lot from the tapping therapy that Karolyn delivers. I would with out a dought recommend Karolyn and riverside healing to anyone who feels they need this kind of therapy. Thank you again Karolyn. Xx❤️Posted on Google Scott McleodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had lower back pain and sciatica for some years now and have looked for a local shiatsu practitioner for some time. Since being treated by Karolyn I have noticed a fast improvement. She is excellent at what she does and also makes time to discuss with me the findings from her treatment. I always look forward to my shiatsu massage. I often feel the aches and pains in my lower back, however, after my treatment with Karolyn I have never felt so loose. This feeling does not just occur straight after but it continues to work for some time after. I now see Karolyn regularly as part of my treatment plan.Posted on Google Blaise HendryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My EFT tapping session was very helpful. I felt the benefits immediately and have been practicing the techniques at home too. Karolyn tailors each session to make the treatment bespoke to your individual needs. Her natural supportiveness and grounding nature makes her a great therapist to choose. The ease of online sessions is great, especially if you're trying to make time for yourself even with a busy schedule.Posted on Google Laura HigginsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Karolyn for some time now with her EFT therapy service and I can say I have seen outstanding results. She offers a safe, welcoming, judgement free environment which has really helped me to open up and let go of so much that was holding me back. I don’t think I can fully express how far I have come with my healing journey thanks to the help of Karolyn. If this is something you are exploring I would recommend her time & time againPosted on Google Adrian BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Searched online in the hope of finding something to assist with my personality disorder which reached a low point over Christmas. I found Karolyn, very warm and inviting, kind and calm. Her treatment room, I would love to replicate in my own house. During the treatment, I felt totally relaxed and my mind was clear for the first time in a long time. I also slept very well after, which is the first time in months. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend. And also getting my partner booked in.Posted on Google Sarah MayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a relaxing experience. I find it really hard to relax but wow I was definitely relaxed . A calm warm room I came out of my treatment shoulders where down feeling so relaxed ! The stretching part of my treatment was great really loosened my tight areas in my neck a shoulders ! Would highly recommend Karolyn and I will definitely be rebooking as I realised I need to relax more often ! Thank you again xPosted on Google What's that TING!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Karolyn when looking for local therapists who use CBT and tapping. Karolyn is kind, patient and knowledgeable. The tapping therapy really helped me to overcome a traumatic event in my past. She is now helping me to improve my confidence with a combination of counselling, CBT tapping and written exercises to do at home. I can highly recommend Karolyn and the prices are extremely competitive too. I am so glad to have discovered her.
