Shiatsu and Qigong

Tasha Kalisher is a Shiatsu Practitioner and Qigong Teacher and generally works out of her clinic in Bristol and her home in Slapton, but Finest Stays have arranged for guests to have an inhouse Shiatsu and Qigong experience whilst in their holiday home.

At the core of Tasha’s work is a passion to empower clients to enable them to have a deeper understanding of themselves. Tasha will come and set up for an afternoon or a full day, for groups of friends or families to experience Shiatsu and Qigong; Shiatsu is a fully clothed massage. It is deeply relaxing and restorative. It works with acupoints, stretches, rotations and pressure to bring the body and mind back into balance. It is traditionally given on a mat on the floor, but you can also request to use a massage chair if mobility or space is an issue. Qigong is a moving meditation but it is also a great physical workout, opening the body and stretching the muscles to encourage greater stability and strength and increasing vitality and balance. 

Tasha can also offer tips on nutrition, movements and herbs that can support your specific requirements. Get in touch with Tasha to find out more about Shiatsu and Qigong.
