Shiatsu practitioners are qualified to advise people on diet according to principles of oriental food energetics. In the East food is considered a medicine but also as one of life's great pleasures. Food should be enjoyed. 'Cure-all' diets are considered best avoided: what suits one person will not necessarily suit another, for example some people feel energised on a raw food diet whilst others feel very depleted. During a treatment an assessment of your constitutonal type will be made taking into account any specific conditions that you may suffer from, for example IBS, fluid retention, low energy, overweight. You will be helped to select foods that enable your individual system to strenghten and operate at its optimum so that you can be a healthier weight and healthier and happier in general.
