Laura Bell Frss

I am a member of the Shiatsu Society UK. I gained my diploma in Shiatsu and Oriental Medicine in 2006 from the Ki Kai school of Shiatsu in London. Following this, I practised professionally in a number of venues including Enfield Drug and Alcohol project; Eastern Garden at the Portobello Clinic and ran a private weekly practice in Hackney, North London. I have also worked at various festivals giving Shiatsu over the years. After 5 years of continuous practice, I moved to Poole, Dorset in 2011. I have continued to develop my Shiatsu informally whilst bringing up my family and working in secondary schools teaching English GCSE. I am now returning to Shiatsu professionally and am available for private treatments from my home in Wimborne, Dorset. Relax...Release...Restore.

In Shiatsu finger and palm pressure is applied to traditional acupressure points and energy or 'Qi' pathways throughout the body to clear blocks and strengthen weakness, which if left to continue can lead to injury and chronic ill health. It is a holistic treatment which works physically, psychologically and spiritually. Shiatsu provides a deeply relaxing and supportive quality of touch which awakens the body's self healing process. It can be helpful for joint and muscle pain, injury rehabilitation, stress, substance abuse and addiction, anxiety and depression and fertility problems. Shiatsu may also be helpful for digestive disorders, sleep problems, hormonal problems, headaches, amongst many other issues. I work on a comfortable mat on the floor and the treatment is received fully clothed. I offer ongoing exercises and lifestyle suggestions in order that people can take responsibility for their own well-being. In Shiatsu underlying causes of ill health are addressed, which means that conditions should improve rather than continue to re-occur.
