Awakening the Body’s Natural Healing Intelligence
Shiatsu is a deeply restorative manual therapy from Japan that works with the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Rooted in the principles of traditional East Asian medicine, the word shiatsu means “finger pressure”—a simple name for a profoundly effective practice. Using focused, rhythmic pressure along the body’s meridians and vital points, shiatsu addresses a wide range of physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances. It helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, relieve muscle tension, and support the optimal function of internal organs—all without invasive techniques or forceful manipulation.
Seiki Shiatsu: Touching the Core of Healing
Seiki Shiatsu is a subtle and powerful evolution of the work of Shizuto Masunaga and Ryokyu Endo. While it shares roots with Zen Shiatsu in its aim to restore balance, Seiki Shiatsu takes the work even deeper—touching the very core of a person’s sei ki, the vital life force that governs healing, clarity, and inner harmony. By applying direct, penetrating pressure, this method releases ja ki, or stagnant and disruptive energy, allowing the body to reorganize itself from within.
Seiki Shiatsu is not always comfortable, but it is profoundly transformative. Temporary discomfort often arises as the body sheds layers of held tension and realigns itself toward health. The result is a renewed sense of vitality, clarity, and presence.
Devon integrates the principles of Seiki Shiatsu into all his treatments, but he also offers this potent practice as a focused experience for those seeking deep, lasting healing. It is an invitation to return to your center, to reconnect with your inner power, and to allow healing to unfold from the inside out.
