My name is Hiroe, I was born and grew up in Matsumoto, on Honshu, a beautiful Alpine region of Japan. 

 

I believe in preventive care to maintain mental and physical health, helping the body stay balanced before problems arise. Drawing on the nurturing “mother’s touch” of Shiatsu and the natural healing power of aromatherapy, I chose to train professionally as a therapist so I can share these benefits with others.

My aim is to offer a peaceful moment of ikoi 憩い – a space to reset, relax, re‑energise and re‑regulate your nervous system through holistic Shiatsu and aromatherapy treatments. This calming, body‑mind focused approach supports stress relief, better sleep, and long‑term wellbeing for those seeking gentle, natural wellness care.

 

I am a fully qualified and insured Zen Shiatsu Practitioner, Aromatherapist and Registered Professional Member (MrSS) of The Shiatsu Society UK, International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA) and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

​

I have studied and trained Shiatsu under Nik Kyriacou MA, BA (Hons),  MRSS(T) DipAc (Japan) PGCE and Veronica Howard MA, B.Sc. (Hons) , MRSS (T), MRCHM, PGCE at the London College of Shiatsu, aromatherapy under Doreen Uzice, Dympna O'brien and Margaret Pawlaczyk-Karlinski at the Quantum Metta School of Massage.
