Shiatsu is a form of Japanese meridian- based bodywork that is performed on a futon whilst the recipient remains clothed throughout.
It combines much of the classical acupuncture model, with a variety of forms of touch.
Including palms, barefoot, point-based work on acupoints, and gentle stretches.
Central to the practice of shiatsu is activating and harmonising the movement of Qi through the body. This can address physical symptoms such as joint pain, lower back pain, and tension in the head, neck and shoulders.
It strengthens and balances the immune system, the digestion, and endocrine system and can alleviate stubborn conditions such as insomnia.
Equally, it addresses psychoemotional presentations such as depression, anxiety, grief and the many and varied ways we experience stress in the modern world.

Practitioner of Kinesiology and Shiatsu
Geoffrey is a Kinesiology and Shiatsu practitioner. He has been in practice for 26 years and has clinics in Brunswick, Adelaide as well as Rebalance Wellness. He has also worked in Germany from 2006, a visit which also led to him studying Family Constellation work and incorporating constellation patterns and intergenerational family patterns into a bodywork setting.
As a student of Neural Organisation Technique, which focuses on meeting and unravelling the body’s primary survival programs, he had early exposure to trauma-based training and has made this a central part of his practice.
As a trainer at the Australian Shiatsu College as well as at Fire Element Acupressure, he brings the insights of Traditional East-Asian medicine, with its version of connection between body, emotion and thought to all his treatments.
He especially values working with people who are prepared to undertake a journey of releasing past pain (physical or emotional), past patterns and creating a more integrated, resilient body/mind system. This state best supports an easier, more present experience of life, better health and overall constitutional balance.

She holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) from Torrens University and a Bachelor of Food and Nutrition Sciences (Honours) from Deakin University.
With an inherent fascination in health and medicine. Driven by a desire to uncover the root cause of illness, not just manage its symptoms Jess brings genuine care and intuitive insight to each case.
