Power of
touch
~ In Shiatsu we use focused touch, working with both hands, an empty mind, and a relaxed body.
We look for the point where the giver meets the receiver without expectation. At this point, the receiver can experience a deep sense of safety — and with that safety, the possibility to let go and allow a healing change to unfold. ~
Gentle Care for Whole-Body Wellness
“Gabi’s approach brings together Shiatsu with the restorative qualities of breath, embodied awareness, and the gentle energetic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the natural wisdom of Taoism. She meets the physical, emotional, and subtle layers of the body with steady presence, encouraging regulation, ease, and a deeper sense of inner alignment. Each session unfolds in response to the client’s needs and capacity, offering a safe, spacious place where meaningful change can find its way.”

Shared Experience
“I’ve been coming to Gabi for over 15 years. She is caring, professional, intuitive and highly skilled. Her sessions helped me stay grounded through stressful life changes, and I always left feeling more relaxed, energised and completely safe in her knowledgeable hands.
Shiatsu with Gabi is gentle, non‑invasive and deeply restorative.
She has a strong connection to nature and the nature spirits who guide her work, bringing a unique depth and sensitivity to her healing touch.
I would recommend her work 100%.”

“On the way to the market I fell asleep in my van and woke up with a debilitating migraine. I couldn’t get out of the van or set up my stall. The organiser came over, saw how unwell I was, and suggested I try Shiatsu with Gabi, who was offering seated sessions at the market that day. When I reached her, she asked gentle questions about how I was feeling and settled me into the massage chair. As soon as she placed a blanket over my shoulders, I began to feel calmer and safe. The different pressures she used, and the way she explained how the body connects to migraine pain, helped me soften and find real relief. My pain eased quickly, and I left feeling steadier and deeply supported. I’m so grateful she was there. ”

“If I had to describe my Shiatsu sessions with Gabi, words like exceptional and gifted come to mind. Her care and gentle, loving presence have supported me so deeply. Gabi’s sensitivity and intuitive way of working always helped me feel more balanced, steadier, and stronger. I left each session with a clearer sense of myself and a renewed sense of wellbeing.”
