TESTIMONIALS

Stefanie has the most amazing touch. It seems to contain an infallible awareness of your body’s stress-problems at each treatment beyond even your own. Even better, she has an uncanny ability to treat them and remove all tightness, congestion and aching using an extraordinary array of techniques. I am constantly astonished at what she achieves. I never knew it could feel that good to inhabit this great old war-horse of a body. Her Shiatsu techniques seem to work like a magic wand. Sure, I don’t understand the Eastern science she applies, but it works!
What is the difference between Stefanie Shiatsu and a regular treatment? It seems to me that Stefanie finds the core issues that need to be addressed in your body and uses her magic touch to resolve them. No two treatments are the same, but the results are always extraordinarily beneficial. My sense is that she is engaging my particular issues, rather than just applying a routine. I always come out of those sessions knowing that all the stuff that was giving me grief can be solved, that my body is rebalanced and that I can take the next step with poise and confidence. Even better, these beliefs turn out to be correct. Stefanie’s treatments are unique and her awareness is awesome. But don’t just take my word for it. Check it out for yourself. You can be amazed too.

I have been a client of Stefanie's for 7 years or more and during that time have found her always to be very professional, skilled, sensitive to my needs and my body's needs, insightful and intuitive. Her shiatsu treatments have supported me through many a difficulty both physical and emotional and I know that each time I have a session it is specifically tailored to my needs - not just some arbitrary routine. She really tunes into my particular needs and the results are always just what I need. I really appreciate her ability to provide a holistic treatment based on her wide range of knowledge and skills - I have not found anyone else with her great experience. I would thoroughly recommend her services - she's fabulous!

No matter how tired, stressed or blah I feel, when we have finished a class the world always looks and feels different – better, easier and those problems aren’t as bad as I thought. Since starting yoga with Stefanie I have built up my strength, confidence and flexibility at my own pace. I feel a sense of accomplishment for doing something for me and am more in tune with my body. I have never been sick since I started yoga either.
The benefits of yoga aren’t just for the body, I have found a greater clarity and sense of self since starting. This has really helped in my day-to-day dealings with people, work etc.
Stefanie is a unique teacher with a gift for understanding just what people need at the right time.

I felt totally re-energized after the class. Also, because I work sitting in front of the computer all day I found the core strengthening exercises very beneficial and alleviating to the lower back pain I've been having for a while.

"Yoga has changed my whole life in a very positive, strong and calm kind of way."
It is a great way to be "taken away" briefly from the problems and challenges, to stretch and breathe - all of which refreshes and refocuses me immediately.
The benefits to my work, my concentration and to my physical well being have been clearly demonstrated. I did not realize how much my posture needed attention until Stephanie got me to stretch and I focused on my body and how I was sitting.
One of the greatest changes I’ve seen is that my painful and heavy periods, have since been pain free, lighter and a lot less of a burden”.

I have been coming to Stefanie's yoga class for nearly 6 months now and really make sure I get along there once a week as I feel so much better for doing so. She is such a thoughtful and skilled teacher always looking to see you are getting the most benefit from the stretches and positions and showing you and talking you through how to do them. Her professionalism and understanding of the body and its pathways to movement is reassuring. Stefanie's humor and the positive atmosphere she creates are as beneficial as the physical work.
I find the flexibility of lesson times and days really convenient so if I miss the lesson on my usual day I can pick it up later in the week. I am on the other side of 60 and enjoy the challenges (some more than others) presented in the classes, which cater for a wide age range.

I have been doing Ki-Yoga with Stefanie once a week for about 14-15 months and find that it is 'my time' / time out for me in an otherwise busy week. Not only do I enjoy the yoga workout but I am doing something that is good for my health and each class leaves me feeling refreshed.

It was my chiropractor suggested that I try yoga. I wanted to be less dependent on manipulations to ease the tension in my neck and shoulders and to improve my strength and posture. He said that yoga would stretch muscles in a different way to "normal life". He was right! I went to Stefanie's class because it was close by. I didn't know what to expect. Sure, there were some moves that I wasn't flexible enough to do, but the class wasn't beyond anyone, and you only do as much as you can manage. After the very first class I felt so energized! Best of all, I could feel those muscles that were always so tight were being stretched and softened. I couldn't wait to go back. Every week I come away from the class feeling the same - not exhausted, like a gym class, but relaxed and at the same time ready for anything. I can understand why people become addicted to yoga.
Of course it's not just the yoga moves - Stefanie has such a lovely soothing voice, and she gets a really friendly atmosphere going in the class. The short massage at the end is always something to look forward to as well.

No matter how tired we feel before our hour of yoga with Stefanie, afterwards, we always feel reinvigorated and refreshed.
