Hello, Seeker of Vibrant Health and a Better Life!
Have you been wandering in the land of the 'half-healthy?'
You're here now. Relax.
What I mean is that while you may not officially have anything 'wrong' with you, you just know that you can feel better.
You just KNOW that you can have less tension, less aches and pains, less stress... more energy, more clarity, more presence, more aliveness, more connection to your joie de vivre, your raison d'être, even. (Gotta love the French...!)
If only... you could figure out how to feel better. What is it that comes between where you are and your feeling fully alive and present?
Vibrant health is not simply an absence of diagnosable disease.
It's about being in full conscious relationship with your body. Your mind. Your soul.
It's about your relationship with your life.
Healthy relationships need awareness and communication. Your body can tell you things, if you know how to listen.
Hear what your body could be telling you:
- How and when to reach for foods and activities that promote your unique well-being needs
- How to find your own natural rhythm and center
- Which relationships and situations are serving or hindering your higher purpose
- When you are or are not in alignment with whatever it is you're trying to accomplish
- What conditions may be setting you up for illness
- What is keeping your from living your fullest expression
- How to notice more readily when you are becoming imbalanced
Shiatsu can teach you the language of your body.
Shee -what -zoo?
Shiatsu (say it with me .... shee - ah ' -tzoo) is a Japanese word literally translated to mean "finger pressure".
Yes, shiatsu is a form of bodywork ... a hands-on therapy that has been traditionally used to relieve common complaints, and restore physical and emotional health.
And it's so much more. It's a form of communication, and relationship ... a "skin-ship" as it's been called. It's a compassionate conversation between practitioner and receiver which brings your awareness to the places where you're stuck, or empty, or imbalanced, offering you the opportunity and stimulus to heal those places.
Who am I?
I'm Gina Loree Marks. I'm a shiatsu practitioner, and I help people with hurting bodies feel better. I also help folks who recognize a connection between their physical, emotional and spiritual states, and would like a form of bodywork that addresses that connection.
There's a lot more to shiatsu which you can read about here, and even more on my blog.
To me, shiatsu is also a way of living that emphasizes making connections, encouraging flow, seeking balance and living from your center.
For this reason, you can also benefit from shiatsu without even coming into my office! (Of course, if you're in Chester County, you can check my hours and make an appointment here.)
I'm in the process of creating some fantabulous freebies through which you can get a sense of how shiatsu might transform your life, but until then, I invite you to download my self-shiatsu guide, and check out these posts I wrote..
