Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of massage therapy originally from Japan and based on traditional Chinese medicine.

It engages the body, mind and spirit of the receiver and giver and helps to restore inner balance.

I’m a shiatsu therapist & Do-In teacher based in Utrecht.

Originally from France, I discovered Shiatsu while living in Japan. My practice of Karate (Yutenkai) opened my heart to a new world and I became fascinated by the deep relationship between body, mind and spirit. There, I met an inspiring woman who shared her passion for Shiatsu with me. 

The Netherlands offered me the opportunity to combine studying and corporate work, and therefore I moved to the Netherlands in 2019.

I hold HBO-level degree certification in Shiatsu at the Iokai shiatsu school (2019-2023).

I experienced the healing power of Shiatsu before and during my pregnancy. I wish now to share it and accompany future parents during this journey.

I continue to develop my practice focusing on how shiatsu can support fertility, pregnancy, and after birth under the guidance of Suzanne Yates.

"I loved my shiatsu pregnancy massage with Charlotte, it was a pure moment of bliss but also of connection with my baby in my belly, and I am only in my 5th month! "
