Hands-on Healing-en.

• Those who would like time to rest deeply and allow physical tension to soften
• Those who are concerned about persistent tension or stiffness in the body
• Those interested in observing changes in posture, support, or movement through a hands-on approach
• Those interested in responses appearing throughout the body, including changes in the skin and complexion
• Those who would like to receive a form of bodily support different from a session based on their own movement
• Those seeking support during recovery from injury or illness

You do not need to focus on one particular symptom or expected change. Whether you are coming for rest or because something about your physical condition concerns you, the session begins by considering your current state.

In an in-person session, you remain clothed and will usually lie on a treatment table.

We begin by discussing your current physical condition and anything that concerns you. I then proceed with the session by placing my hands on the body while attending to its current state.

Rather than shaping the body into a predetermined form from the outside, I observe how the body and its tissues respond as the session proceeds.

After the session, we may observe standing, movement, or body sensation as appropriate.

Online sessions use a different process from in-person work. I therefore respond individually after hearing what you would like support with.

Responses such as the following may appear during or after a session:

• Changes in the overall shape or posture of the body
• Changes in tissue tension or firmness
• Changes in support or the location of weight-bearing
• Changes in breathing
• Changes in skin color or complexion
• Changes in ease or range of movement
• Sensations such as warmth, lightness, or deep rest

The way these responses appear and are experienced varies from person to person. A change visible to the practitioner may not occur in the same area as the change felt by the recipient. Some responses are immediately noticeable, while others may become apparent later.

No specific response or change can be guaranteed.

Hands-on Healing at SHAS works not only with the visible physical body, but also within a system that includes the energy field, which is generally considered invisible, and processes related to the formation of the body.

What matters to me in this practice is not controlling the body or its state from the outside toward a preferred form.

It is to set a direction of intention, and then to respect the response of the body and its tissues.

I understand that direction as supporting the person to exist with their own axis, with as little unnecessary strain as possible, within the physical conditions of this world, including gravity.

I do not assume that every response observed during a session can be explained through current scientific knowledge. I distinguish between bodily responses that can be observed and possible interpretations of what lies behind them.

Flower essences may be used as a supplementary element when appropriate during a session.

For approximately fourteen years, I have worked in translation for the Flower Essence Promotion Association, the exclusive Japanese importer of FES flower essences. Through this work, I have continued to study flower essences and the body of knowledge behind them.

If I suggest using a flower essence, I explain it first and confirm whether you would like it to be included.

The essence is handled by the practitioner during the session. It is not taken orally by the recipient.

Flower essences are not used if you do not wish them to be, and they are not included in every session.

My Hands-on Healing practice is based on the system of integrative energy healing I have studied at SHAS (School of Healing Arts and Sciences).

At SHAS, the relationship between the physical body and energy is studied through both anatomical and physiological understanding and in-person practical training. The curriculum includes hands-on methods addressing the musculoskeletal system, fascia, connective tissue, and the body’s various organ systems.

Hands-on Healing is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a medical professional.

If you are currently receiving treatment for an illness or injury, have ongoing symptoms, or are taking medication, please let me know when making your reservation. In some cases, I may not be able to accept a booking. Please consult an appropriate medical professional when needed, and do not discontinue or change medical treatment or medication without professional guidance.

Responses to the session and how they are experienced vary from person to person. No particular change or outcome can be guaranteed.

Because the in-person session involves physical touch, please tell me before or during the session if there are areas you do not wish to have touched, or if you have concerns about any position. I will proceed with your consent.

Both in-person and online sessions are available by appointment only.

Please briefly let me know which format you prefer and what currently concerns you. If you are unsure which type of session to choose, you are welcome to contact me before making a reservation.
