NWT Holistic Healing’s Shiatsu Sanctuary is the perfect setting for you to receive your treatment.
Shiatsu (pronounced Shee-At-Soo) is a massage and therapeutic bodywork. During your session, relevant meridians and pressure points, also known as acupuncture points, are manipulated by applied pressure, gentle stretches, and rotations. Each Shiatsu treatment is tailored to your unique presentation.
