Shiatsu
What is Shiatsu? Shiatsu is a style of bodywork originated in Japan, influenced by milenia of refined practice and traditional medicine philosophy. The word shiatsu literally means "finger pressure" and is often referenced as acupunture without needles.
What does Shiatsu feel like? Shiatsu is a combination of deeply effective pressure, movements that create space and relieve the joints, and undeniable energy work that harmonizes the body inside and out. It can best be described as a combination of massage, yoga, and acupunture all together in one uniquely wonderful treatment.
What makes Shiatsu different than other massages? Shiatsu is a wellness-focused modality. Before your session we discuss how you want to feel, set wellness goals, and create a plan that self-empowers you to feel better in and out of the session.
How should I prepare for Shiatsu? Drink water before your session. It's best to stop eating two hours before your appointment time as some movements can distrub digestion. If you have eaten before your session, no worries, slight adjustments will be made to keep your healthy digestion supported. Get a clear mental picture of what you want to achieve in your session. You can start by asking yourself these questions: What do I want to change? How do I want to feel during and after my session? What do I want to let go of? What do I want to cultivate? These questions can be appied to physical changes in the body, but also so much more- because the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies are all connected. Sessions are performed fully clothed, please wear flexible clothing.

Melissa's meditation practice humbly began with honorable Venerable Lama Jigme Rinpoche– an authentic lineage master of Vajrayana Buddhism. During studies with Rinpoche, Melissa gratefully received the Hayagriwa Empowerment and the Longchen Nyingthig Phowa Transmission– an empowerment that reaches from H.H. Dalai Lama, to Venerable Lama Jigme Rinpoche, and finally to its humbled recipients. These teaching focus on philosophy, quality of mind, interconnection of all things, and compassionate nature. The transmission is like giving a bottom to the cup of understanding so one may retain the teachings.
