I began studying Shiatsu just after the birth of my first child and practised and received shiatsu throughout my second pregnancy. My experience encouraged me to go on to specialise in pregnancy and childbirth.
Motherhand-Shaitsu
provides treatment for all aspects of pregnancy: fertility, conception,
the three trimesters of pregnancy, preparation for birth, and post
natal.
Shiatsu
supports the changes that occur during pregnancy. It allows you
to connect with the experience, and supports the body in preparation
for birth, giving mother confidence and empowerment.

for birth and for postnatal recovery

"My husband and I have been trying to fall pregnant for 10 years. It was important that we only sort natural therapies on our journey. I had quite severe Endometriosis, Cysts, Estrogen Dominance all that it comes with. We found Ria through a good friend and from the moment we met, the holistic 'relationship' clicked. Ria cared about the whole picture and continued to research for ways to help us through Shiatsu and hot compresses, advice and stretches. She was always so friendly and open, listened but never dwelled. It was a healing environment to be in and Ria was more than happy to work with our natural approach to infertility.
Well we are now proud as punch to announce we are 3 months Pregnant and we have no doubt that Ria helped us reach this point. We have used and tried many things along the way but what we learnt through Ria to help my body heal, clear blocks and break down scar tissue has made a tremendous difference...and for that we are so grateful. Thank you Ria." -Jodie and Daniel De Pascali
