Tofino Shiatsu and Energy Healing

My name is Alan Connelly.  From 2002 to 2004 I attended the Canadian College of Shiatsu Therapy, where I studied the original Namikoshi style of Shiatsu practiced in Japan.  In 2004 I graduated as a registered Shiatsupractitioner.  Since that date I have continued to practice Shiatsu and have also incorporated techniques learned through my interest in subtle energy forms of healing.

The physical human body is an amazing creation of intricate and interconnected systems that, when working well, will allow us to feel vibrant, energized, focused, and able to cope with the multiple stresses of everyday life. If one or more of the systems gets out of balance, the end result can be a subtle change in hormonal balance leading to an increase in nervous energy, susceptibility to illness, increased pain throughout the body, and a continuing feeling of dis-ease in body and mind.  Namikoshi style Shiatsu is the original style of Shiatsu (based on anatomy and physiology) first  conceived and practiced in the 1930’s in Japan, and incorporated into the Japanese health care system in 1956. This is a system of pressure points applied through the thumbs and palms of the hand that, when directed to specific points on the body, will lead to a reduction of nervous energy, deep relaxation, pain reduction, a return to ease of movement, and a revitalised immune system. This style of Shiatsu helps regulate hormonal imbalances and can be very effective in treating many chronic physical conditions.

There are also subtle energy structures that constitute the body, mind, and conscious awareness, and these are also interconnected at a deep level.  At the most subtle, we are what we think, and much of our thinking is done unconsciously. Receiving an energetic healing treatment can allow changes to take place at the deepest level of our being, either at a physical level or at a psychological/spiritual level. Each individual is different and will experience an energy healing session in their own distinct manner. I practice a number of energetic approaches including, but not limited to, Reiki and Matrix Energetics. Each application will be customized to the person receiving the session.
