Therapists - Justine Sipprell - Shiatsu Practitioner
“Shiatsu is a powerful tool for supporting women, to contact the wisdom of their bodies in pregnancy and birth and for parents to bond early with their developing child”
Justine Sipprell is a mother of two and has 12 years of experience in shiatsu and massage. I completed a postgraduate course in Shiatsu for pregnancy with Suzanne Yates (Wellmother – author “Shiatsu for Midwives”) and have been working closely with her since. I received shiatsu through my first labour and was amazed at the amount of pain relief and emotional support it gave me. I have since used shiatsu at the births that I’ve attended and have had positive results and feedback. One of my clients had an emergency caesarean, and felt that all the shiatsu we had done previously helped process this unexpected outcome.
I offer a home service to pregnant women or new mums – all you need to do is wear loose clothing and to provide a double sized futon space. I teach useful points and techniques to use in labour. It can be of great benefit to have your birth partner present ~ I see anxious men arriving and looking visibly more relaxed and happy once they have a job to do!
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing and sensitive form of body work using pressure and massage techniques on channels and points of energy throughout the body. It is a holistic therapy encompassing the physical, emotional and spiritual sides of us and encourages the body to balance its own natural energy.
