Did you know that Shiatsu can be very effective for cold relief and helping to boost your body’s own defence system?  To celebrate European Shiatsu Awareness week in September, Norwich Shiatsu therapist Gary Moore will be offering £10 Shiatsu taster treatments, which are ideal for helping to boost your body’s defences, for management of stress and for cold relief.  All the money from these half hour taster sessions will be donated by Gary to local charity, Future Projects, the community based arts, media and education charity for young people.

Gary will be doing a marathon of 30 minute Shiatsu treatments on this day, between 10am and 5pm.  Spaces are limited, so do book early to guarantee your place.  This is the perfect opportunity to try Shiatsu and discover the relaxation it can induce, alongside the health benefits it can provide, including cold relief.

This event forms part of The European Shiatsu Awareness month, and Gary says this is the ideal time to try Shiatsu:  ”as we enter the autumn months, it’s very common for us to start picking up coughs and colds, and Shiatsu can be very effective for helping to provide cold or flu symptom relief, boosting your body’s ability to fight off bugs and increasing lung function.  To find out more about Shiatsu and natural cold remedies, read Gary’s blog here, where there is a video demonstrating some of the natural cold remedy techniques, focusing on the lung meridian.

What is Shiatsu?

Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese therapy that works using the meridian system of the body.  Using the same principles as acupuncture, the word Shiatsu itself can be translated as “finger pressure,” with the therapist using their fingers or palms to apply pressure around the body, to help unblock the meridians and improve energy flow.  Shiatsu can be helpful for a wide range of conditions, from specific injuries to more general health problems, and is a deeply relaxing therapy that can help combat the negative effects of stress in our lives.

Norwich Shiatsu therapist Gary Moore will be helping people to balance their energies and boost their defence mechanisms during these half hour taster treatments, focusing specifically on the lung, small intestine and kidney meridians.  As Gary explains: “these meridians are dominant in Autumn and winter, and there are points on the lung meridian that can specifically help to improve lung function, provide relief from colds and chesty coughs, and also prevent the onset of a cold.”

To book one of these charity fund-raising taster treatments, please call The Orange Grove Clinic on 01603 631900.  Places are limited.  The taster treatments are £10 for half an hour, with all proceeds going to charity.  If you’re suffering from a cold, Shiatsu may be the ideal relief and this is the perfect opportunity to try this therapy if you’ve never experienced it before.  Contact us here.

Your Course Leader

Principal Trainer Rick Maczka has been training people from all walks of life since 1994.  At The UK Centre of Excellence for NLP Training and Hypnotherapy Training, based at The Orange Grove, he has designed this innovative, mindfulness based programme to offer people the opportunity to gain three professional certificates in one.

Since NLP and Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching are so similar in their structures they fit together very well.  One way of describing NLP is to say it is a mixture of indirect and direct authoritarian hypnosis.  Life coaching draws on many of the excellent language patterns that help goal setting and help directionalise thinking. As this is an Integrative course it will provide you with a range of skills to set up in practice with a broad range of choice available in how you set your stall out to the general public.

Sprinkled into the mix is Mindfulness which helps underpin all 3 practices with a greater sense of awareness for practitioner and client.
