Dilek Shore

Hello, I am Dilek and I practice touch based holistic therapy Shiatsu, originating in Japan influenced by Chinese and Western knowledge for health, illness and balanced living. Shiatsu approach makes use of the energy lines, pressure points, stretches to encourage free flow of energy which often is felt as a sense of coming back home to wholeness, creating space and easing of pain for the whole person. Shiatsu acts to rebalance the body’s energy channels of vital energy (ki) to promote wellbeing, support good health and prevent illness. Its application and use in the relief of physical and emotional dis-ease is as remarkable as its power in creating health and beauty through relaxation and release of tension. I see the true strength is held in the presence of being at ease with and within one’s own body.

People from all walks of life see me to receive the following benefits;
– Promote wellbeing
– Ease / eliminate pain
– Connect with deeper self
– Embody deep relaxation
– Increase awareness of all parts of the body

My shiatsu style can be described as gentle with a lot of depth, attuned to what is present in the body and the extension of it to the whole being of the person. I have experience working with people from all walks of life and age groups presenting many different symptoms and conditions relating to musculoskeletal, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, nervous systems and mental health. I specialise and particularly interested in working with trauma and stress, conception, pregnancy, birth and chronic conditions.

I graduated from the Zen school of Shiatsu, London in 2011. Well-Mother Maternity Shiatsu postgraduate course in 2012. I also trained in healing NLP in 2011.

I see myself as a life long learner and continue my learning journey to satisfy my inquiring mind and mostly to serve my clients better, therefore I am committed to continuing professional development. I am particularly interested in mindfulness, meditation, non-doing touch (Seiki practice), inner qigong, Aikido, Macrobiotics. I am registered with the Shiatsu Society Uk and insured by Balens ltd.

“I have been having Shiatsu with Dilek for some months to support me thorough the effects of acute stress and trauma. Dilek holds a space for the held trauma to unravel from my body whilst creating a safe environment where I feel held and comforted. She has an intuitive wisdom in her hands that guides her and so I feel completely able to trust and let go. Dilek has such sensitive touch that listens in gently to what my body needs, creating the conditions for deep healing. I highly recommend Dilek and consider her to be a very gifted Shiatsu practitioner.”
