Christine Pike  –  Shiatsu practitioner, Zen Thai Therapist

With roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork with a unique ‘listening’ quality. 

Christine completed a 3-year diploma at the London College of Shiatsu in 2004 and became a member of the professional practitioners register in 2005.

This involved further training with other leading teachers such as (the late) Akinobu Kishi in Seiki, Carola Beresford Cooke in advanced techniques, and Suzanne Yates, Shiatsu methods adapted to pregnancy.

Supporting women through pregnancy became a keen interest for several years in a busy London clinic alongside general practice for stress, fatigue, physical tension, and emotional balance;  co founding a community women’s health clinic several years later in Brighton, UK.

Since emigrating to Australia in 2014, she has followed the women’s health thread and has found the methods and approach used throughout pregnancy are also incredibly supportive and effective for women transitioning through all the stages of menopause.

More recently, Christine completed a 9-month Zen Thai Therapist training on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and blends this unique offering of Shiatsu with Thai massage techniques for a more dynamic style of working alongside a gentle, intuitive approach.

Shiatsu supports balance, cycles, and deep rest for women and men and can be adapted to suit each individual’s needs.
