A message from the therapist:

THE POWER OF SHIATSU

«As a therapist, I have worked with people with a variety of mental and physical issues. Despite the constant evolution of technology, the number of daily pain and problems has not decreased. In my search for an additional solution to these problems, I discovered Shiatsu.

Shiatsu has its origins in the ancient art of “te-ate” (healing touch). No machine or new technology can ever replace the deep feeling of comfort and relaxation that the human hand can bring to the body.

In Japan, no one turns down a Shiatsu session. Everyone knows that Shiatsu is a wonderful way to heal the body and mind. The world of Shiatsu knows no borders. It is this will to make discover the richness and the power of Shiatsu to the French people which motivates me.

I would like to invite you to come to our center and discover the strenght and benefits of Shiatsu in your mind and body.»
