James H. Barnett, Certified Shiatsu Practitioner

Shiatsu is a style of bodywork that was developed in Japan and is based on the natural healing principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Its roots can be traced back to China around 530 BC. It has steadily gained in popularity in the U.S. since the 1950s. It is a wonderful modality for achieving relief from both acute and chronic health issues. Find out more about the Benefits of Shiatsu. Shiatsu is also a great style of massage for general stress relief and relaxation. Lotus Way Shiatsu Clinic's style of shiatsu (Zen Shiatsu) differs from massage therapy in that it is an art form where therapist and receiver both benefit from physical and spiritual interaction. This isn't medical treatment - it is a physical & spiritual experience through bodywork that takes you into a deeply relaxed & regenerated state. This is a real treat for body & soul - a chance to turn off the cell phone and spend some quiet time taking care of your needs.

Shiatsu literally means "finger pressure" but this technique involves the use of thumbs, fingers, hands, forearms, elbows, knees and feet along with some great stretches that are intended to be a complete system of healing through the improvement of the recipient's flow of Ki, blood circulation, flexibility and posture. Ki is the circulating essence that in Chinese philosophy is believed to be essential for good health (yin/yang harmony).

Shiatsu is performed fully clothed on the floor lying on a comfortable futon. Massage is performed intuitively along the energy channels (meridians) of the receiver's arms, legs, head, neck and torso. A normal session is 1 hour in length and the recipient should wear loose-fitting comfortable clothes. Sessions take place with the recipient lying on their back, side or stomach as needed.

Lotus Way Shiatsu Clinic offers two locations:  in Westmont just minutes by car from the communities of Downers Grove, Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Darien and more; and in Evanston within easy reach of Wilmette, Glenview, Lincolnwood, Skokie, Morton Grove and northside Chicago . The locations are warm private settings providing a relaxed and nurturing atmosphere for people desiring to improve their health. Soft music and gentle lighting add to the experience.
