Shiatsu-Anma Healing and PRESSURE

Shiatsu Anma  Therapy can be a great form of rejuvenating massage, a tool to learn how your body is like, alleviate many common ailments, maintain your body's vitality and health, and to heal it from chronic disabilities and blockages!

Natural Medicine

Shiatsu-Anma is based on traditional Asian Taoist medicine, which is a form of Natural Medicine! Natural Medicine is focused on promoting the body's natural ability to heal, unlike modern medicine, that is focused on manipulating sickness or injury, while, in many cases, coming in conflict with those natural powers. Natural Medicine empowers our body, restores and balances its natural functioning, unlike modern medicine that weakens it and damages our self healing resources.

Human Flower

The Human being is like a perfect flower: A strong root full of nutrients from mother earth and grounding, A beautiful stem, flexible and standing tall, reaching the sun, And a beautiful flower-head, light, colorful and inspiring. The root has our strength and nurturing, the stem has our support and direction, and the flower is our mind, light and shining beautifully as part of nature's creation. We need to maintain and grow all three parts! I've known this beautiful and amazing poem from a very long time ago..

Does Shiatsu-Anma hurt?

  Many people try Shiatsu-Anma treatment for the first time, not really knowing what it is or how it works, and most of all, how does it help afterwards. A lot of people come in unprepared, or with very compromised health conditions, making the treatments more complicated, but not necessarily ineffective. Many time people feel pain or other types of uncomfortable sensations during a session or after, not knowing it is actually a positive change and succeeded by an improvement.

It has been tremendously helpful and had proven itself to be effective in promoting natural health beyond any doubt, practically and scientifically.

Correct Posture Principles

Our posture is a manifestation of our mindset, as known in traditional Asian philosophy for many centuries. When the mind is unbalanced and not in peace, its connection with the body is decreased, and our posture is misaligned, causing a large variety of health conditions accordingly.  I have collected a group of postural principles to be focused on, based on years of experience and practice throughout my career.

And here they are: Upper body: Keep the back of your neck stretch up Let your chin rest down Let your shoulders rest on your Scapula and open your chest wide. Point your arms with hands open to your front. Middle body: Let gravity rest down on lower belly (under the navel) Spine is straight and slightly tilting forward (about 1 degree) Imagine a "forward light wind" supporting your back from behind. breath from the diaphragm (abdominal breathing). let ...
