Changing the patterns of a lifetime
Shiatsu, Qigong and sauna ritual in the South Hams, Devon
Hello, I’m Tasha.
I’m a shiatsu practitioner based in Slapton, South Devon. I’m also a Qigong teacher and sauna master.
I specialise in helping people resolve persistent physical and emotional issues: the back pain that keeps coming back, the digestion that never quite settles, the sleep that won’t arrive.
Everything I do is rooted in ancient wisdom, which I combine with a modern understanding of the body, to help people change the patterns of a lifetime.
My services
Everything I offer is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Shiatsu
Skilled, hands-on bodywork rooted in the Five Element tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Qigong
Mindful movement that builds strength and steadiness from the inside out.
Sauna ritual
An ancient Lithuanian sauna practice using leaf whisks, herbal scrubs, heat and steam.
Who I’m for and why what I offer works
If you’ve tried the conventional routes and nothing has worked then you’re exactly who my work is for.
If you sense the problem runs deeper than the symptom, you’re probably right. My work addresses the root, not just the relief.
I work within the Five Element tradition, the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using Transformational Dialogue and Polyvagal Theory: a modern, evidence-informed understanding of how the nervous system shapes pain, sleep, digestion and mood.
You’ll find me in Slapton, in the South Hams, with clinic days in Bristol once a month. Most people who come to me are recommended by someone whose benefited from my work.
Whether you come to me for Shiatsu, Qigong or sauna ritual, everything I offer is a skilled practice, built on an ancient system of medicine and a modern, well researched understanding of the body. It’s why people experience lasting change when they work with me.
