Shiatsu at ROOTED
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, that works with the body through steady, comfortable pressure, slow stretches, and gentle joint rotations. Sessions focus on supporting the nervous system and whole-body balance.
GROUND
Through slow, steady pressure and an unhurried pace, shiatsu helps the body settle, the breath deepen, and awareness return to the present moment—creating a deeply grounded sense of stability, comfort, and ease.
RESTORE
By calming the nervous system and easing the body out of ongoing stress, shiatsu invites a deeply restorative state of rest. From this place, the body’s natural rhythms of repair, renewal, and recovery gently unfold.
HEAL
When the body feels safe, settled, and supported, healing becomes more possible. Sessions are tailored to each client’s needs, whether the focus is pain, sleep, digestion, mood, emotional balance, circulation, or immune support.
Your Session
What to Expect
