Good to know before
- You are advised not to eat a heavy meal or drink coffee (or use of any drugs, including alcohol) prior to the treatment.
- The first treatment will start with a more extensive diagnosis including an interview where I will ask questions to get an idea about your specific complaints, health problem(s), questions or needs. Next to that, I will use physical Oriental diagnosis during every treatment to get a complete picture of how to treat you.
- Iokai Shiatsu is given in the traditional way on a Japanese cotton mattress (futon), lying on the floor. During the treatment it is best to wear comfortable clothes that you can move in freely.
Good to know after
- After the treatment I advice you to drink a lot of water and/or herbal tea.
- It is best to plan in some time to rest and integrate to enhance the effect of the treatment. You are most welcome to take a relaxing walk in the beautiful Amstelpark around our studio after your treatment.
- I might give you advice about your lifestyle, food and/or give specific (yoga) exercises to do at home to integrate the treatment and support yourself further.
Follow-up
The frequency of the treatments is related to your condition, the nature and process of your complaints and will be determined in consultation. A single treatment can already be beneficial, yet a series of treatments can allow a deeper process and have a more enduring effect. The duration of all treatments is between 60 and 90 minutes.
