About Shiatsu "The Art of Touch" “Shiatsu is a touch based therapy that applies pressure to areas of the surface of the body through loose comfortable clothing for the purpose of promoting and maintaining wellbeing. A Shiatsu practitioner will initially consult with the client and plan the Shiatsu treatment. The client will then be positioned comfortably, with appropriate adjustments being made throughout the session. Clear and accurate aftercare advice will be given. Shiatsu is a Japanese word that literally means finger pressure and derives its theoretical and practical roots from the ancient traditions of Oriental medicine. Today it is an autonomous treatment method influenced by Chinese, Japanese and Western knowledge. In addition to being regularly used by thousands of people all over the world, a variety of charities, health foundations, NHS trusts and hospitals in the United Kingdom provide Shiatsu to support patients whilst receiving treatment for a range of health issues and to help them maintain their general wellbeing. Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council What is Shiatsu? Welcome to ReikiEma, where I provide a range of holistic therapies to help you achieve balance and vitality. While many people associate Shiatsu with massage chairs and gadgets, it is actually a powerful and little-understood therapy that can have a profound impact on your health and well-being. Allow me to introduce you to this transformative therapy, today. Book now Shiatsu's Background Discover the ancient healing art of Shiatsu at my Holistic Therapy practice. Originating in Japan and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the interconnected relationship between the body, mind, and spirit. With my expertise, you can release tension, reduce stress, and achieve overall balance in your life. Originating in Japan, with its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Anma (an ancient form of Chinese massage similar to Tui Na, which was taken to Japan in the 10th Century CE.) The system of Anma was later developed as a profession for people who were blind; with Anma schools for the blind being founded across Japan - sighted people were banned from practising Anma! Book now In the 20th Century, Shiatsu was created as a healing modality, in its own right - making use of techniques from Anma, and other Japanese healing therapies, as well as the Traditional Chinese Medicine system of meridians and acupressure points in the body. Since its creation, Shiatsu has been developed and evolved to reflect many different approaches and techniques by different teachers and practitioners, and ranges from taking a Western/Eastern hybrid approach, though Zen Shiatsu, which uses extensions of the Classical Meridians, developed by a prominent teacher/practitioner in the 20th Century: Shizuko Masunaga . There is also "Seiki" - developed by one of Masunaga's top students, Akinobu Kishi . Seiki relies on "being" rather than "doing", more in the realm of the energetic and less on "working" meridians (not Reiki, but with many areas of communality). What connects all of these diverse schools of, and approaches to Shiatsu, are the therapeutic relationship between receiver and practitioner, the element of healing through touch, and the energetic connection between giver and receiver, which takes place during treatments. Book now What happens in a Shiatsu session? Shiatsu is highly adaptable, and can be tailored to people in most states of health and medical conditions. A Shiatsu treatment can be carried out with the receiver seated at a desk, lying on a treatment table, or (more traditionally) on a comfortable futon mat, on the floor. Book now Before a first treatment, the practitioner will often ask their client a fairly detailed set of questions around lifestyle, medical history and about the client's general picture of health and wellbeing. These questions help the practitioner to build up a picture of their client’s energetic picture, and any factors which are likely to be impacting on their overall holistic health and wellbeing. Some practitioners will ask to see a client’s tongue, as the Traditional Chinese Medicine technique of "tongue diagnosis" can be incorporated into Shiatsu; whereas some practitioners use observation of the client’s movements, speech, behaviour (what they say & do as well as how they say & do it) and any other outward signs of energetic or constitutional patterns – sometimes using the 5-elements/phases model as a framework. There will normally be a pre-treatment conversation, which usually covers asking the client which lying positions they are comfortable with, whether there are any areas they would prefer not to be worked on (some people are sensitive about their feet, for example), any symptoms present on that day, as well as giving the Shiatsu receiver the chance to decide/say what they would like to get from that day's treatment. After the pre-conversation, the client will be invited to lie down on the Shiatsu futon or treatment table (wearing comfortable, loose clothing, and having removed shoes and any chunky jewellery/watches/glasses), and offered a pillow and/or blanket/bolsters for additional support/comfort. Book now The Shiatsu practitioner often begins a treatment with “Hara diagnosis” – palpating areas of their client’s abdominal area, each of which correspond to a Traditional Chinese Medicine organ (reflexologists do the same). Hara Diagnosis offers the practitioner the chance to connect with their receiver's energy, to observe the relative qualities of energy in the different Chinese organs, and how they respond to the practitioner's own energy. Shiatsu practitioners will often use the information they pick up during Hara diagnosis, to decide which meridians will likely be their focus for the treatment - this is particularly the case with Zen Shiatsu practitioners. In the treatment itself, the practitioner uses hands (palming), thumbs (thumbing) and sometimes even knees, fore-arms and elbows, to work along the meridian lines (or energy channels) of their client’s body. Sometimes they will incorporate movement into the treatment, and include supported rotations, and/or stretches. Shiatsu practitioners are trained in safely and confidently moving amd supporting their clients’ legs, arms, heads, feet etc, and so if the client is able to completely relax and make their body as loose and floppy as possible, this is best for the treatment. "Helping” by doing the movement yourself actually means that you won’t get the full benefit of the movement – although this isn’t easy to (not) do for everybody, especially if you're new to Shiatsu - and your practitioner should understand if you find yourself not able to fully relax into being moved, straight away. Book now Book now What to expect after Shiatsu After a treatment, clients may feel a little light-headed or “spacey”, and so they’re encouraged to sit and drink some water or tea, and come back fully, before leaving after a Shiatsu session. Their practitioner will offer advice on ways to support their wellbeing (such as activities which will help support the work they have begun in the session, food energetics) and if the receiver has any questions, they are free to ask them – although as with Reiki and other energy-work modalities, the experience of the receiver is most important. It’s advisable to stay well hydrated after a Shiatsu treatment, to take things easy if possible. There may be a few aches and pains after Shiatsu, because it can be uncomfortable to re-establish a flow of energy where there may have been stagnation or deficiency - think about how it feels when the blood starts flowing to a hand or foot again, after circulation has been cut off for a while! The body can also sometimes go into a detoxification state, and some people feel a little under the weather because of this – they might have mild cold symptoms, or a minor headache, for example. This should only last for a day or two at most, and will only be very mild. Book now What does Shiatsu do? Each treatment will feel very different, and will do different things. What you need, and how you'll receive the maximum benefit on the day, depends upon your energy at the time of treatment. And one crucial thing you need to know about energy is that it doesn't stay still! It's always moving, changing and transforming. This is true of the energy around us, as well as the energy within our bodies and the energy that makes us, well, us! Some of the general overall outcomes intended by the practitioner for each Shiatsu session are: to help bring the person’s Qi into better balance; to promote the smooth, healthy flow of Qi through the meridians; and to help alleviate any aches, pains physical discomfort and symptoms which may be present. A Shiatsu treatment can be a deeply relaxing experience, a vigorous enlivening experience, a profoundly moving spiritual experience, and anything in-between! Shiatsu can help people to feel connected into their own bodies – and can bring a sense of peace and stillness. Some people describe it as "like going to church", others say it’s "like connecting into the Universe", and some people find it helps them to have moments of clarity and self-awareness about how they relate to the people in their lives and the world around them. It's probably fair to say that Shiatsu is not your standard massage! Book now How does Shiatsu work? Shiatsu makes use of the same energetic pathways (or Meridians) which Acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners use. Shiatsu is based on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, but many Shiatsu practitioners incorporate other elements into their treatments, as they evolve, learn and develop their practice. This is why it’s helpful to read reviews from other clients and also to talk to your practitioner before trying Shiatsu, to check whether their style and approach resonates for you. Energy work (as other forms of therapy) is always most successful when the client and practitioner’s energy resonate well with each other. Factors to consider are: how confident you feel in them and their skills, whether you feel they are compassionate (if that's what you prefer), whether their approach and way of expressing themselves feels right for you and whether you feel you just click. No matter how amazing a practitioner's skills and knowledge, you have to feel confident and safe with them, in order to reap the full benefits of the treatment. For more information about Shiatsu you can visit the Shiatsu Society (UK) or the CNHC ’s information about Shiatsu. Book now Shiatsu reviews Due to Ema massaging I have more flexibility in my joints less pain and a better understanding of my inner self and my thoughts Ema always takes time to listen to any problems you may be experiencing after my session my posture is so much better Ema is a lovely person Kate Neeson I have been receiving sessions with Ema over the last few months and I have to say they have been truly amazing.

Experience the deep healing and transformative power of Womb Healing Massage at ReikiEma in Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, UK. Discover the benefits of womb massage, reconnect with yourself more deeply, empower and unleash the inner goddess within you, and find out what this powerful, deeply moving therapy can offer you. With massage over your abdomen, sides and back,acupressure, Reiki and energetic connection, to support your digestive and reproductive systems' harmony and balance Womb Healing Massage Deep Healing, Health-boosting, Nourishing What is Womb Healing Massage? Womb Healing massage is a holistic treatment, which combines gentle therapeutic massage over the abdominal area, sides and lower back, with Energy work techniques from Reiki and Shiatsu. This beautiful, powerful healing can also incorporate guided meditation, if requested, to assist with some of the deeper layers of spiritual and emotional healing work which can be incorporated into this treatment. As a holistic therapy, a Womb Healing massage takes place within a sacred energetic space. I hold space for your womb and her wisdom; the seat of all human life, universe for unborn children, projects and intentions. The womb space is our connection direct into the same ancient power and wisdom which birthed the universe, even time and space. It’s the microcosm of the vast mysterious macrocosm - and it lives within us, informing our experience and potential; a source of true power and intuitive knowingness. When we connect with our womb space, hold space for it, with love, compassion and honour, then magic and deep healing can begin to happen. Book now Who is Womb Healing massage for? Anyone who has, or has had a womb, regardless of whether they have or have ever had a menstrual cycle. This treatment can take place for people at any age or life stage. The womb is a crucial part of how those who house one, experience life; she is not simply a functional means to an end or an inconvenience - she is a living, vital, feeling part of us. Connecting with the womb on this holistic level, during a Womb Healing Massage, can allow deep healing to take place - which is so often needed. Sometimes it can be an entire lifetime's healing which is needed. It's never too late or too early to connect in, and claim your power - your birthright. There can be so much judgement, trauma and pain that we, as humans, store here. And the beautiful healing practice of Womb Healing Massage allows you to connect with a hidden, often stigmatised and secret, part of yourself – to gift acceptance, love and full integration of all aspects of yourself, into who you are. This is often a form of shadow-work - bringing your whole self into the light of acceptance and ownership. And this is the true way to gain insight, deep healing, wholeness and ultimately, the unshakable strength that only true self-acceptance and self-knowledge can bring. Book now What happens in a Womb Healing Massage? For this treatment I use a natural, unscented grapeseed oil, and gently massage your whole abdominal area, following the same direction taken by the digestive system, and supporting this nourishing, nurturing flow. I may use acupressure points on the Conception channel (one of the two central channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine) as well, which connect energetically with the reproductive organs, as well as with our digestive organs, to bring balance and harmony. I can also incorporate acupressure points on the legs and feet, to further help re-balance and support your body, energetically. Massaging the womb area can also help re-situate the womb if it’s become misaligned, and also stimulates blood flow, shifting any stagnation, and helping refresh and revitalise the womb. In this treatment I also use Reiki intuitively, to provide deep healing, warmth and connection for you and your womb, on whatever level your journey takes place, on that day. I hold space for you and your womb, honouring her power, using intention and energy to support your journey, in a safe, sacred space of healing. Deep healing like this requires vulnerability, and as guardian and facilitator of this healing experience, I use my compassion, strength and energy to make that possible, in the way that’s right for each individual person. Some people want to be witnessed and accompanied, some people need more space and solitude in the energetic space within – whatever degree of personal space/guidance is required by you, is exactly what I will provide. This is your experience - your healing, and your intuition and individual needs are at the heart of that. Trust yourself. You hold the key to your own healing, even if it's hidden - and I'm there to support you during that process. For some people, a guided meditation can be a helpful opening for self-connection within, especially if there’s a tendency towards busy mind, or a need to be offered a more clearly defined pathway. As an experienced therapeutic meditation teacher, I can offer this support and guidance – using my voice and words as an extension of my energy work, this can be a powerful way to engage the mind in the healing process. Book now What are the benefits of Womb Healing Massage? On the physical level, Womb Healing Massage can help improve blood and energy circulation and flow to both the reproductive and digestive systems. It can encourage hormonal rebalance and assist in the optimal positioning of the womb and uterus. Womb Healing Massage can be helpful in supporting the female reproductive system, where gynaecological concerns are present, such as PMS, endometriosis, blood clots, amenorrhea (missing or irregular periods), lower back pain, adhesions, vaginitis and IBS. It can also be a good way to help enhance your preparations for IVF or ART. As a holistic therapy, Womb Healing Massage can help your whole body's balance, and wellness on all levels. Womb Healing Massage can help with relaxation and stress management. It can also facilitate the release of past trauma (which, until healing takes place, is held within the body), enabling deep emotional or psychological wounds to be addressed. It gives you permission not only to connect with your body, but to honour that part of your experience which may not be welcomed, respected or even seen by the wider world. Womb Healing Massage allows you to connect with, and nurture your sacred womb space, and natural rhythms of your life: the cyclical ebbs and flows of energies and different strengths these states offer you. Womb Healing Massage provides you the means to connect with, and release, emotions, experiences, judgement and hurt which can have been held in the womb space for years, even decades. This is a deeply moving treatment, and can be tremendously empowering - allowing you to connect with yourself and the power of the Universe (or your goddess within). Some people find it helpful to decide on an intention or a question/request for wisdom, which they will ask of their womb. They can then take that intention with them into the energetic healing space, to be held during the treatment, and then revisited again, once the session is complete. The Womb Healing Massage takes place on a very deep level, and language can’t truly capture its essence - as is the case with most treatments which are deeply spiritual and energetic. However, here is what one person said, after receiving her first womb massage: "Recently had Womb massage with a wonderful lady named Ema. An absolutely beautiful experience with major energetic releases and visions during the course of the treatment. This for me is an ongoing process of self discovery and healing, not only myself but my entire female ancestral line. Would highly recommend both Ema and the treatment for all women wanting to heal their relationship with their womb portal and to innerstand their feelings relating to this very sacred vessel that we have the honor to carry . Thank you Ema for providing such a safe , sacred place, for me to connect back to my divine feminine ❤️" If this resonates with you, and if you're ready to discover more about stepping into your own powerful healing journey with Womb Healing Massage, then click below to book your first session.

Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council Book Reiki now What is Reiki?

By utilizing my skills as a Holistic Therapist and Teacher, I strive to provide the best care possible for my clients by using energy work to help heal imbalances within their bodies. Whether clients are seeking physical, emotional, or mental healing, Reiki has the healing power to help.

As one of the first Professional Complementary Therapies in the UK to organise itself and come under CNHC regulation, the Reiki Council's member Associations hold themselves to an extremely high standard of professionalism and excellence. My passion for Reiki, as well as my commitment to client-centred excellence and Continuous Professional Development, have led to my becoming a highly qualified and government-registered practitioner, dedicating my life to helping others find peace, balance and wholeness.

I take a holistic approach to healing, addressing imbalances and hidden issues which may be present, to promote release, relaxation and inner peace. My sessions are designed to meet you where you stand, and are tailored to address your specific needs on the day. You may feel relaxed and ready for quality rest, or feel lighter, energized, rejuvenated, and ready to take on whatever the Universe has in store for you. Book Reiki now What will happen in your first Reiki treatment Before your Reiki session begins, your therapist should have a short chat with you. This is to check in about how you're feeling that day, whether you prefer a hands-on or hands-off approach for your treatment, and any special requests you might have (like if you need to stretch or keep your eyes open). Remember - you're in control, so if there are specific areas you'd rather avoid (for example, maybe you'd prefer not to have your feet worked on), just let your therapist know. You should also be able to bring a friend or carer along whether it's for safety, logistics, or just reassurance. If you choose to do this, it's a good idea to let your therapist know, ahead of time, so that they can make any arrangements necessary for seating etc, for the person accompanying you to be in the treatment space. This chat is also your chance to ask your therapist questions or for clarification, or to share any concerns you might have. Your Reiki therapist is there to make this experience as smooth and tailored to you as possible, so don't be shy! During the treatment itself, you'll typically be comfortably lying or sitting down, fully clothed but having removed your shoes, coat, glasses and any heavy jewellery. You'll perhaps be covered with a cosy blanket; and in a space free of harsh lighting. Soft, soothing music (if you'd like) sets the scene for your relaxation and comfort. You should feel free to hit the pause button or halt the treatment anytime you wish. This will not impact negatively on your treatment in any way, and Reiki can stop and start as many times as you need it to. Reiki has a way of gently releasing and clearing blocks on various levels, which might manifest as a strong emotional response like laughter or tears, subtle movements in your limbs, or even a cough (especially if a throat chakra block is shifting). If you find yourself surprised or concerned about these reactions, or if you just need a moment to regroup before continuing, take a breather whenever you'd like. You're in the driving seat, and you're best placed to know what you need, so don't worry that it's being rude or difficult - quite the contrary! Experiencing responses like those described above, is completely normal and often occurs as a natural outcome of the Reiki energy working to restore a healthy balance and flow of qi in the body. A Reiki treatment will usually be a full body treatment from head to foot; sometimes lying on the back, sometimes in side position or lying on the front. This really depends on any physical requirements you might have, your own preference/comfort, as well as the Reiki professional’s intuition (i.e. a Reiki practitioner may not need or may choose not to ask a client to move onto their front or side, as Reiki can be used to reach those areas without the client having to move). However, please don't feel you have to go along with what's ordinarily done, and remember - the practitioner is there for you, not the other way around. So if you have a preference, a professional Reiki practitioner should welcome you sharing that. Don't be shy - you're helping them to help you get the most from the treatment - and that's what it's all about! Your Reiki practitioner will often also ask whether there’s a particular outcome or goal you'd like the Reiki treatment to help with; because although the outcome expected should not be fixed, it can be empowering and helpful for you to create a mantra, or set an intention in your mind, to take into the treatment with you. Each Reiki treatment will be experienced differently by each individual person, and you are likely to experience different treatments with the same practitioner, differently. It’s a dynamic process, and how someone receives and experiences Reiki will depend on how they are feeling, and how their energy is, on that particular day. In a way, how different people experience Reiki is a bit like listening to music! How the music makes you feel, and how much you feel affected by it will vary, depending on how you’re feeling, the weather, what’s just happened in your day and how much sleep you got last night - as well as who's performing the music. If Reiki doesn't feel the way you're expecting it to, or the way you've felt it before, that's nothing to be concerned about. Reiki always works, and it always has a positive effect. The way we experience it can be really vivid and "good weird" (as many people have described it to me, after their first session!) but this can actually be a distraction from the healing itself. One way you could look at it, is that your brain is trying to interpret the energy and understand it - and this can give the images and colours/sensations which some people experience. The healing itself happens just the same, whether or not there are any other aspects or interesting things we experience. And seeing colours/people etc doesn't always have a deeper meaning. See whether you can step back from trying to understand or engage with any "weird" experiences you might be having (or not) and just accept whatever the body and brain goes through as just one layer. You could maybe instead, see whether you can tune into the deeper healing that's going on, and notice what happens then... Some of the most commonplace responses/experiences that people have during a Reiki treatment are: Temperature changes (in all or part of the body); Tingling sensations, or feelings of an increase in air pressure; The feeling that their body is very heavy, or very light; Seeing colours or images/people/dreaming; Not knowing whether they’re awake or asleep; The feeling that more than one person is giving them Reiki; Deep relaxation; Busy thoughts continuing, but still feeling very relaxed; Sudden insight or realisations about their own lives; Feelings of deep reassurance/wellbeing/feeling uplifted. After a treatment, you may feel a little light-headed or “spacey”, and so you should be given the chance to come round slowly. Your practitioner should then let you sit for a few minutes and offer you a drink of water or tea, so that you can reground properly (come back into the here & now, and feel fully back in your body), before you leave. There are also some things you should try to do after receiving Reiki, so that you can reap the maximum benefit from your treatment. I stay well hydrated after a Reiki treatment, take things easy - try to avoid high-intensity exercise on the same day as your treatment; avoid stimulants. This is purely because the Reiki energy will still be in your body, still doing its job, for a couple of days after treatment – and you’ll reap more benefits from it if you follow these guidelines. There are also some mild post-treatment symptoms that you might experience: feeling a little more emotional, as stuck emotional blocks or experiences come to the surface and are released (like a holistic Reiki detox); feeling a little under the weather – from the physical detoxification effects of the treatment – mild cold symptoms, for example. This should only last a day or two, and will only be very mild; Feeling thirsty; Needing the toilet more often; Having memories or ideas surfacing or resurfacing, or "big dreams" (try not to worry or try too hard to figure them out - writing down what you experience/remember can be useful as you'll be able to revisit and make more sense of these things afterwards, when you have a little more distance and clarity. If you have any more serious symptoms, please see a healthcare professional, as any post-Reiki symptoms will be mild and short-lived. And if you have any concerns or questions, your Reiki professional should be available for you to get in touch to talk to. Book Reiki now How does Reiki work? Whilst science can’t explain how Reiki does what it does, there have been many robust studies carried out, over more than 10 years - so there is a good deal of empirical evidence proving some of the effects (quantitative) of Reiki (as well as the qualitative observations). These studies focus on: the effects on people receiving Reiki and the effects on those giving Reiki. Some of the effects of Reiki that the UK Government’s Regulator of Complementary and Natural Healthcare (CNHC) lists on their website, are: Encouraging relaxation; Bringing balance to the mind and emotions; Feelings of peace, and/or of being uplifted; Promoting a calm, peaceful sense of wellbeing; Encouraging positive lifestyle changes; A greater inner harmony and balance; Greater emotional resilience. Many hospices and healthcare facilities (both in the United Kingdom and in other countries) have been integrating Reiki into their services, for many years - with volunteers as well as paid professionals. Reiki's benefits continue to become even more widely recognised and accepted by mainstream Western Medicine practitioners, in the United Kingdom, and other countries, thanks to charities and projects like "Full Circle Fund Therapies " whose stated aim is "to introduce, evaluate and research Reiki in clinical practice.", and "Reiki Medic-Care" (I'm a volunteer practitioner in this initiative, which has recently published its first Research Article, with data gathered from Medics receiving distance Reiki during the pandemic).
