Shiatsu Massage in Golden, CO
Shiatsu, which translates to “finger pressure” in Japanese, is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s a gentle, hands-on therapy that uses rhythmic pressure on specific points along the body’s energy pathways, which are referred to as meridians. By working on these points, Shiatsu helps to clear blockages, bring back balance, and encourage the smooth flow of energy (Qi).
Unlike most other types of massage, Shiatsu is centered on physical tension and energetic imbalances in the body. It offers a holistic approach to healing and wellness. I deliver personalized care at Curative BodyWork Massage By Suheyla. My name is Suheyla, and I have more than 23 years of experience in helping you feel your best. Shiatsu massage is one of my specialties. This transforming therapy harmonizes the energy flow in the body, thus improving the state of well-being. My studio, located on Grand Avenue in Golden, CO, offers a calming and accessible environment in which to relax and fully experience the benefits of this age-old technique.

What Happens During a Shiatsu Massage Session?
Your Shiatsu massage will be designed entirely around your needs, ensuring you feel comfortable and cared for throughout the session. Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation: Before your session begins, I’ll take a few minutes to discuss your health concerns, lifestyle, and goals for the massage. This helps me focus on areas that need the most attention.
- Setting the Scene:
- You’ll remain fully clothed in comfortable attire, such as loose-fitting yoga-style clothes.
- Shiatsu can be performed on a traditional massage table or a supportive floor mat—whichever feels best for you.
- Therapeutic Techniques:
- I’ll use my thumbs, palms, and sometimes elbows or knees to apply rhythmic, targeted pressure along your body’s meridians.
- Gentle stretches, rotations, and mobilizations will help release tension and encourage flexibility.
- Breathing techniques may be incorporated to enhance relaxation and focus.
- Feedback and Adjustments: Communication is key! I’ll check in throughout the session to ensure the pressure and techniques feel just right for you.
