SHIATSU CONSULTATION

____________________________________

Shiatsu consultation at the House for Birth and Health

With Katrin Jäger, from 13 October on Mondays between 3 and 9 pm

Shiatsu is a gentle body treatment that originated in Japan. Literally translated, shiatsu means „finger pressure“. However, hands, elbows, knees and feet can also be used. Deep touches, gentle stretches and rotations stimulate the flow of energy. Shiatsu provides support in times of stress and crisis, stimulates the body's self-healing powers, relaxes and harmonises. Shiatsu always focuses on health and well-being. The treatment takes place clothed on a soft floor mat or, if required, on a treatment couch. Including a short pre- and post-treatment consultation, an appointment lasts 60 minutes.

 

Shiatsu accompanies pregnant women in their change processes. The nourishing touch and calm during the treatment can lead to restful relaxation. This creates space to feel yourself more deeply, gather new strength and come into intensive contact with your baby.

In the postpartum period, Shiatsu supports regeneration and can nurture the bond between mother and child. Shiatsu can help to alleviate typical complaints during and after pregnancy:

 

  • Nausea
  • Back problems
  • Sciatica pain
  • Swollen legs
  • Tightness in the abdomen and pelvis
  • Sleep disorders / tiredness
  • Stress / tension
  • Fears regarding pregnancy, birth and motherhood
  • Diffuse fears of change or loss of control

About me

My name is Katrin Jäger. After training as a physiotherapist at the University Medical Centre Hamburg Eppendorf, I deepened my understanding of bodily experience and the cultural markers of gender while studying philosophy (M.A.) in Hamburg and the USA.

 

I practised dialogue-oriented judo and aikido for a long time. I have been training as a Shiatsu practitioner at the Schule für Shiatsu Hamburg (GSD recognised) for three years. The training takes just under four years in total.
