Shiatsu Madera
In 2025, the holistic practice Shiatsu Madera was founded. ´Madera´ is the Spanish word for ´Wood´. In the Eastern Five Element Cycle, the element ´Wood´ represents personal growth and development, authenticity, and decisiveness, essential qualities and skills for living a fulfilled life.
The mission of my practice is to help people break destructive behavior patterns that can cause (chronic) health problems. Shiatsu can make a significant contribution to addressing one or more issues in one´s life and improving health condition.
Shiatsu is a body-oriented therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a healing system over 2,000 years old. It is rooted in a holistic view of the body, in which body and mind are interconnected.
Shiatsu is used to treat physical and/or mental-emotional issues. From the Eastern perspective, symptoms are never viewed in isolation and are therefore treated as a whole during a Shiatsu session. Shiatsu therapy aims to restore the body’s vitality and to prevent illness.
Shiatsu can also be effectively used as a preventive treatment to maintain good health.
