Testimonials

I turned to Shiatsu 7 months after the birth of my son. I’d had per­sist­ent head­aches since the day he was born, even­tu­ally dia­gnosed as ‘Chronic Tension’.

After my first treat­ment of Shiatsu my head­aches went for 2 weeks! I went on to have five fur­ther fort­nightly treat­ments and my head­aches are 98% cured. It’s just been amaz­ing. Shiatsu is a fant­astic, gentle treat­ment that I feel for­tu­nate to have received. I con­tinue to have treat­ments to keep me in bal­ance and feel­ing ener­gized and would def­in­itely 100% recom­mend it to any­one who will listen!

I have exper­i­enced many hol­istic ther­apies but the thing that really struck me about Arthaketu’s shi­atsu was that although phys­ical it quietened my mind – some­thing that I haven’t exper­i­enced before whilst receiv­ing a treatment.

I am the sort of per­son that has high energy levels and high stress but dur­ing the treat­ment I felt light and fell asleep. This was sur­pris­ing for someone with a busy and act­ive mind. For sev­eral days after the treat­ment I slept really well and my energy felt balanced.

Arthaketu has a very reas­sur­ing touch. Sometimes gentle and at other times firm; how­ever I find the pres­sure one of the most enjoy able aspects of this type of mas­sage. Arthaketu will often explain the nature of his treat­ments as each one feels quite unique in itself.

I find Arthaketu a gentle and reas­sur­ing ther­ap­ist. His calm and tender man­ner is most com­fort­ing. His know­ledge of Chinese medi­cine is most help­ful in my attempts to ‘Treat’ any symp­toms by adjust­ing my diet and lifestyle.

Arthaketu also man­ages to cre­ate a lovely peace­ful and tran­quil feel to the treat­ment room and the treat­ment itself.
