Itinerary and highlights
Everything will be prepared for you in the garden or at home if the weather doesn´t help.
I’ll make a brief explanation to the techniques used and a short interview in order to have information that will help me during the treatment.
After a short talk, you'll be taken through the relaxing and deep experience of a Shiatsu treatment (50/60 minutes) in the Masunaga style.
To help your energy to flow, I'll make controlled pressures on specific parts of your body, using my hands and thumbs.
A shiatsu treatment will leave your body and mind feeling lighter, calmer and more relaxed.
Our bodies have incredible powers of self-healing but these abilities are often impaired due to mental and physical stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise and poor diet.
In the end, we can have a nice tea and share more about the experience it self and I can share a little bit about the Portuguese identity and history, our culture, social and economic facts and Lisboa's traditions.
Other things to note
