Japanese Massage Therapy: Loosen Up & Feel Lighter
Japanese Massage Therapy offers a calm and restorative way to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and help your body relax. Rooted in the practice of Shiatsu, this hands-on treatment supports your body’s natural ability to release stress and rebalance itself.
Modern life can take its toll, and it’s easy to lose touch with how your body’s really feeling. Over time, that can leave you feeling tight, tired, or just out of sorts.
These sessions are ideal for anyone looking to feel more at ease in their body—whether you’re working long hours at a desk, staying active in later life, or simply need space to unwind. The aim is simple: to leave you feeling more comfortable, more grounded, and more yourself again.

“Giving and receiving Shiatsu with Norma was a very effective anchor through out my studying journey and afterwards to create my own practice. She gave me lots of good advices and support along my own healing journey and as a practitioner too. Norma has a gentle but effective touch and she could guide me through lots of changes and helped me to express my feelings and emotions. She is someone who you can rely on when you need it most.”

“I recently had the privilege of receiving a shiatsu massage from Norma, and it was nothing short of transformative. From the moment the session began, Norma's tenderness in both physical touch and emotional presence was palpable. She created a space so safe and nurturing that it allowed me to be completely vulnerable, a state I hadn't fully realised I needed to reach. As the session progressed, I found myself enveloped in a sense of peace and acceptance, allowing tears to fall freely. It was a release I hadn't anticipated but deeply needed, shifting long-standing pain that I had carried within me. Norma's skillful touch and empathetic connection facilitated a healing experience that was both profound and liberating. I am immensely grateful to Norma for her precious gifts of healing. Her ability to connect and heal on multiple levels is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Norma to anyone on the planet seeking to experience a profound sense of release and renewal. Thank you, Norma, for the healing journey you guided me through. Your work is a testament to the power of gentle strength and compassionate care. ”
