Tracy Krikler

Tracy is a registered Shiatsu Practitioner and Teacher.
I can help you release pain and help you recover from injury. I can support you when you are feeling overwhelmed or when you have other problems like sleep, frozen shoulder, tinnitus, or IBS. I can use a gentle and effective touch to relax your body and correct structural mis-alignment that results in chronic tension, pain and weakness.
I can help with feelings of depression and anxiety.
These are the kinds of things that affect many of us, and I offer natural and enjoyable ways of helping these conditions. The added benefit of receiving shiatsu is that you can feel more energised and enjoy what life has to offer you. Long term problems you thought could not change, can move and take you towards new opportunities.

Approach to Therapy & How I Work

Shiatsu is a holistic physical therapy that uses oriental and western techniques to bring you to better health. It can be used for specific physical symptoms or to support you in keeping healthy and manage with stress or difficult times in your life.

With 16 years experience as a shiatsu bodywork therapist, I will focus the session according to your needs, and introduce simple ways that you can support yourself.
The priority is to relax your body and allow the whole system to unblock where it is stuck, so that you can move more easily, and everything can flow with more space and ease. I encourage you to be aligned, and to be in touch with what you need to be able to help yourself recover your vitality and flow.

I use acupressure points, gentle and deep touch with stretching and movement to empower your body and mind to let go of the pain and tension that is keeping you back.
You will usually lie on a special body support cushion and I work through clothing. I suggest a few regular session at least fortnightly, and then reduce to monthly visits to maintain the benefit.

Shiatsu is a complementary therapy and can work alongside medical treatment that you may be receiving. If you in doubt, please check with your doctor.

Home or Office visits available. Please contact me to arrange.
