Rebecca Davis is a registered practitioner and teacher with The Shiatsu Society (UK) and has been practising in Bath since 1998. She is a teacher at The Bath School of Shiatsu & Yoga, and has previously worked as a Shiatsu therapist at Penny Brohn Cancer Care and at The Drugs & Homelessness Initiative (Bath).
“Shiatsu therapeutic bodywork has its roots in Japan and Traditional Chinese Medicine. People come to see me for physical injury and tension, stress related symptoms, support during an illness (e.g. cancer), emotionally traumatic times, postoperative recovery, women’s menstrual imbalances, personal exploration and simply because they enjoy it. The treatment can be a time to feel spacious, light and connected. ”
“My aim is to give an appropriate and sensitive response to each person. A Shiatsu session is a unique dance that can range from playful and challenging to a quiet, meditative holding. It is a safe space to be and to express yourself. As a receiver you lie on a futon in a warm room and wear loose, comfortable clothes. The treatment is mainly hands on with acupressure, holding, rocking, stretching and joint rotation, but I do incorporate off the body healing as well. I use continuous professional development, being outside in nature, qigong, meditation and personal insight to develop and deepen my practice of Shiatsu”
