Nanyori Caraline Collett

I have found receiving shiatsu to be an essential holding space for finding my way through difficult times, and finding the courage to soar into new aspects of myself.

I believe I have depth and insight to offer, following my life's journey, and also that I have a good instinct for providing physical relief for people with long term physical discomfort.

I live and practice in Glastonbury.

Shiatsu is truly holistic, as it works on the physical, energetic and emotional levels, with bodywork, meridian work and presence. It allows the receiver's own body wisdom to resolve itself nonverbally. I believe shiatsu is difficult for our culture to understand, so much so that it can seem almost magical.

Shiatsu: I began my training in 2003 and qualified in 2009 from the Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga.

In addition to my training, I've done hundreds of hours of bodywork over 15 years with a physically paralysed woman. Its been an extraordinary discipline in following the guidance of the body, trusting my instinct, and staying present with the work moment by moment by moment.

I have a degree in psychology and have worked many different areas of supporting people.

Deep listening to the body, presence, empathic touch.

Supporting the physical and the emotional.

My interest is the space where body and emotions meet. I find emotions are often expressing themselves in the body and are the foundation of physical tension. I like to tune in and answer the emotion through the shiatsu.

My style of shiatsu is soft and strong.

I find the body yields when it feels safe. I show the body I'm listening to it through the quality in my touch. Sinking my weight slowly, slowly into a tense muscle, to the sweet spot of how much it seems to want, and not more, and staying until it seems its had enough. It may want fast or little or big or slow movements. I'm always working by listening. This is the same for the muscular and joint work as for the meridian work; for physical need, for emotional need, for energetic need.

Shiatsu is on a comfy futon, fully dressed, with no oils used.

Each session includes time for you to check in with yourself and share anything you want about how you're feeling, and time at the end to come back to yourself and transition back into life.

I offer hour, hour and a half, and 2 hour sessions.

One hour is lovely for a general unwinding and relaxing for the whole body; or, to have extra focus on a particular area, with much of the rest of the body receiving work.

An hour and a half offers the chance to go deeper and respond more fully to what we discover in the body as the session unfolds.

It ensures your whole body will receive nourishing touch, and also the time to delve into any areas or energies that need extra attention.

Two hours is very good when your body feels like every part needs extra attention. There's a luxury to the pace of a two hour session that means your body can open to itself very gently.

Treatments are in central Glastonbury, with convenient parking.

I offer some concessions, please call to find out more.
