SHIATSU PRACTICE IN NIEUWEGEIN
For whom
Shiatsu is suitable for everyone. As a relaxation massage, or to stimulate your body's self-healing abilities.
If you have a specific complaint such as back pain, headaches, burnout, restlessness, or are struggling with your emotions, a shiatsu treatment can offer a solution.
Shiatsu is also used preventively to maintain vitality.
What
Shiatsu, also known as Eastern pressure point massage, is a holistic therapy. It promotes deep relaxation and improves energy flow in the body. Disturbances or blockages can be released, reducing symptoms and making you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Both body and mind become more balanced.
How
The shiatsu therapist applies pressure with the thumb, hand, elbow, or knee, or even by using the entire body weight.
The treatment takes place on the floor, on a futon. This is a traditional Japanese, soft mat laid on top of tatami tiles.
You lie on the futon and wear comfortable clothing. No oil or cream is used.
ABOUT
TRACY
I continue to marvel at the natural wisdom and self-healing capacity of the human body. In a world where we live primarily in our heads, I want to offer a place where you can reconnect with your body and listen to what it is telling you.
During my Shiatsu training at the Qing-Bai Academy, I was introduced to the combination of Japanese Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine. These centuries-old wisdoms form the basis of my treatment approach. In addition, I have gained years of experience in conventional healthcare as a pharmacist, a background that enriches and grounds my way of working.
My mission is to help your body relax and make room for clarity and inner peace. My vision is that true change occurs when you feel seen, heard, and supported—and when you dare to trust the natural wisdom of your body again.
How
I work from a place of calm, stability, and connection. In my practice, I create a safe, warm space where you can settle, breathe, and feel. My approach is gentle, clear, and trustworthy; you may be completely yourself here.
My way of working is refined and attentive. I listen not only to your words, but also to your energy — with respect, gentleness, and presence.
I help you give meaning to what you feel. Sometimes there is pressure, tension, or confusion in your body without you knowing exactly why. In my sessions, I translate what your body is showing, so that you gain clarity on what is happening beneath the surface. I guide you from inner chaos to peace, insight, and space.

SHIATSU MASSAGE
​
A shiatsu massage lasts approximately 50 minutes and begins with a back massage. Afterwards, the legs, feet, and shoulders can be included. About halfway through, you turn over. On the front of the body, the arms, hands, neck, head, face, and chest can be massaged, depending on what is needed. The session concludes with an abdominal massage and/or the legs.
SHIATSU THERAPY
In a shiatsu therapy session, a specific complaint is the central focus. All techniques are aimed at resolving or reducing the complaint.
A diagnosis (in TCM terms) and treatment plan follow an intake interview. During the intake interview, the pulse is also felt, the tongue examined, and/or pressure is applied to the abdomen.
TECHNIQUES
TIPS FOR SHIATSU
Shaking and rocking techniques ensure that the body relaxes.
Stretches (on a deep exhalation) create space and reduce stagnation.
Shiatsu is performed on the meridians and points.
Cupping, in combination with plumblossom, can be applied if there is an indication for it.
The same applies to Moxa, a local heat treatment that penetrates deeply.
