Shiatsu 指圧 means finger pressure and originated in Japan from traditional Chinese medicine.
As a synthesis of Eastern and Western medical concepts, Shiatsu uses our most ancient medical tools –the human hand and the human heart -to treat the patient using a holistic approach that stimulates the body’s own natural self-healing powers to correct imbalances and effect a cure from within.
In my practice I use touch, comfortable pressure and soft stretching to adjust the body’s physical structure and balance its energy flow.
It can be a deeply relaxing experience and supports the body’s natural ability to balance itself and also takes into account the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of being.

Shiatsu can also accompany you safely during pregnancy and after giving birth. It can help you embrace your changing body, reduce discomfort (upper and lower back, legs, pelvis) as well as strengthen the connection to your baby. Shiatsu can support you as a mother to re-gain energy, calmness and patience and provide a safe space to care for yourself while entering the wilderness of motherhood.
Treatments are held every Friday at “Original Feelings” in Graefestr. 71 10967 Berlin Kreuzberg / Graefekiez.
Treatments
A Shiatsu treatment takes about an hour and takes place in the traditional way in comfortable clothing on a futon. Usually, the session will begin and end with a short conversation over a cup of tea.
It is recommended not to eat a meal in the hour leading up to a treatment.
In order to achieve a longer-lasting effect, it is recommended that you commit to at least 3 – 5 treatments at intervals of one to two weeks, after which a long-term treatment can also be useful once or twice a month.
Please note: Shiatsu is not suitable in cases of high fever, acute infections or inflammation and should NOT replace a visit to a doctor!
Please bring: a comfortable pair of trousers, a long-sleeved shirt and socks.

About me
I am a visual artist and Shiatsu practitioner. I am endlessly fascinated by people and by the unlimited potential each individual has access to. In my work, I draw on this real sense of curiosity and devotion, whether through drawing or in silent dialogue, to find a deep resonance with the person I have in front of me.
In 2014, this led me to Shiatsu. Since 2015, I have been practicing Shiatsu and studying at the European Shiatsu Institute in Berlin (GSD recognized).
I find it a delightful practice to introduce Shiatsu to anyone who is interested and curious!
I speak fluent German, French and English.
