Karen is a skilled Shiatsu & Inner QiGong practitioner, registered with the Shiatsu Society. She has an established south London practice in West Norwood and Brixton with over fifteen years experience as a practitioner.
Karen enjoys working with people to support their well-being and has many years’ experience of supporting people with stress relief and relaxation, improving sleep and digestion, reducing anxiety and tension and addressing musculo-skeletal and myofascial aches and pains.
Karen uses Shiatsu and inner Quigong to help clients feel more connected in mind and body and able to navigate the ups and downs of life. She incorporates learnings from mediation and Aikido into her way of working and is also trained in coaching. These different angles, as well as training in myofascial bodywork, allow her to work with individuals in a very supportive way.
Karen also works with hot stone therapy and a very relaxing head, facial & neck treatment, which combines massage with light oil and Shiatsu techniques, to release tension, promoting flow and health, as part of a Shiatsu, or a treatment in its own right.

What clients say about Karen
"Karen has a great gift for healing. Her expertise and knowledge of shiatsu has helped me to relax and rebalance. It’s wonderful to feel the tension being released from the body as Karen activates pressure points, traces meridians, stretches limbs, and directs your breathing. The sessions are calming and energising always rebalancing and restorative."
Adi, Career Coach Karen is a really loving, kind and wise person. I am going through a tough time at the moment writing this and feel freed after a session with Karen. She sits and listens to you before your healing journey begins. The body stores so much of our life experiences. I would highly recommend her. Greg Hall  |

Karen says:
I qualified in 2005 with the British School of Shiatsu-Do London, and have been a practising and registered practitioner with the Shiatsu Society for over 15 years.
I studied advanced Myofascial Release at JING School of advanced massage in Brighton. I continue to feed my practice with regular learning in Meditation at The Orchard in Herefordshire and Qi Gong & Movement Shiatsu with Bill Palmer www.seed.org. This ongoing study feeds my skill and passion for bodywork. People often come to therapy wanting to change something. My preferred way of working is by supporting rather than fixing, as we seem to have more chance of healing ourselves when we start from a place of self-acceptance.
An interest in a meditative approach to life started at fifteen, when I was introduced to Aikido, by a forward thinking English teacher. Aikido is a martial art based on a philosophy which focuses on harmonizing with your opponent to bring peaceful resolutions to situations involving conflict. It fuelled my belief that a strong mind-body connection is essential to health. Since then, meditation and experimentation have underpinned my life as a creative, in film-making and in practicing body work.
I value working with people to support their wellbeing and over many years have much experience of supporting people looking for: stress relief and relaxation; improving sleep and digestion; reducing anxiety and tension and addressing musculo-skeletal and myofascial aches and pains. Shiatsu is a particularly effective way to feel more connected and navigate the ups and downs of life. It was this realisation that led to my becoming a shiatsu practitioner.
Prior to training in Shiatsu, I worked in Scotland and England in community development and as a documentary film-maker in the often unpredictable and stressful broadcast industry. It was through having regular Shiatsu treatments that I learned to reset, and balance my energetic state to meet the various stresses and strains of working long hours; at a computer, and in unpredictable and challenging situations.
