Shiatsu with Ziggy
Shiatsu is a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself and what you need.
Originating in Japan, shi-atsu means “finger pressure.” Through mindful touch and movement, this practice supports your natural healing and self-expression.
Compassionate and Skilled Touch
I discovered shiatsu early in my career as an aerial artist, and it has been a constant source of guidance — helping me through burnout, injury, grief, trauma, big transitions, and creative growth. Now, as a shiatsu practitioner, I bring together my life experience and training as a physical performer to offer a grounded, heart-centred approach to touch.
Through hands-on work and therapeutic movement, we explore how your body feels and expresses itself. In being touched, witnessed, and listened to, you can return to the present moment — where emotion, awareness, and deep self-compassion naturally arise. I trained in shiatsu because I love this practice and want to share its quiet, transformative power.
How I Work
I offer my full presence, skilled touch, and compassionate listening to support you through whatever life is bringing — whether physical pain, emotional difficulty, relationship challenges, or times of change and growth. You don’t need a clear reason to seek shiatsu; sometimes it’s simply a wish to feel more connected to yourself.
I offer one-to-one, in-person sessions from my peaceful space in Grindleford village, near Sheffield, where you’re invited to rest, breathe, and receive.
If you’d like to book a session or simply talk about whether I might be the right practitioner for you, I’d love to hear from you.
