About Me - Simon Henderson
2008
I was born in New Zealand and came to England at the tender age of 19. From a young age I felt an inclination to the healing arts but didn’t know which one was for me until on a short course something clicked deep inside and I knew I’d found it!
I began My studies in early 2001 at the London College of Zen Shiatsu and Zone Therapy after doing a 6-week taster course with a former student of the same college.
Over the years I added various other therapies to my arsenal of treatments, including Moxibustion, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and R.E.S.E.T. (with the exception of Moxibustion all of these can be included in a shiatsu treatment giving additional benefits to the treatment).
I have worked on a wide variety of conditions with many excellent responses, including depression, back and shoulder pain, weak ankles, knee problems, insomnia, jetlag, osteoporosis, eczema, chemo patients, stroke victims and the elderly.
I use the Masunaga system to treat both by Eastern Medicine diagnosis and also by symptom, as required.
Zone Therapy, as taught by my college, developed out of Zen Shiatsu, and greatly aids and complements the release of held tension, pain, inflammation and general stagnant energy.
In the summer of 2007 I became interested in the applications of Shiatsu in onsite massage chairs, being inspired by Jim of Hands On, Camden. I took an onsite massage course and began giving Chair Shiatsu with great results.
Now I practice traditional floor shiatsu and shorter sessions in onsite massage chairs.
My aim is to work to improve your existing conditions, to release tension and pain, to strengthen your immune system and to enhance health and well-being through effective treatments and well chosen supplements and products.
