Discover the Benefits of Shiatsu Massage in Brooklyn

Are you curious about the unique approach of Shiatsu massage? At Kate Nichols Massage Therapy in Brooklyn, NY, Kate Nichols offers a client-centered approach, and incorporates Shiatsu techniques into sessions when it serves the individual best.

Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork technique that translates to "finger pressure." It involves applying rhythmic pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupressure points, along energy pathways called meridians. This type of massage aims to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote overall balance and well-being. Unlike some other massage modalities, Shiatsu is often performed with the client fully clothed on a comfortable mat on the floor or on a massage table.

Kate Nichols understands that every body has different needs and preferences. While sessions are not exclusively Shiatsu, Kate draws upon the principles and techniques of Shiatsu when it aligns with a client's specific concerns and goals. This might involve incorporating gentle, sustained pressure on acupressure points to address areas of tension or imbalance. The decision to include Shiatsu techniques is always made collaboratively, taking into account the client's comfort level and desired outcomes.

Kate's understanding of Shiatsu is deeply rooted in training with the renowned Ohashiatsu® method. Ohashiatsu emphasizes a holistic approach to bodywork, focusing not only on physical touch but also on the energetic connection between the practitioner and the client. This comprehensive training has equipped Kate with a nuanced understanding of Shiatsu principles and techniques

The trauma-informed approach at Kate Nichols Massage Therapy ensures that all touch is applied with awareness and respect for individual boundaries. Kate Nichols prioritizes clear communication and creates a safe and supportive environment for exploring different therapeutic techniques.
