This will depend on your practioner. A one hour slot including discussion and treatment is fairly standard.

I offer treatments of one hour, 30 minutes or 15 minutes at different prices.

If you are coming for a treatment to address a particular problem or concern, the initial consultation with me will be about 90 minutes as I will need to ask quite detailed questions. The actual treatment will be about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

As shiatsu is a holistic therapy and treats the body and mind as a whole unit, you may well be asked questions about your whole body system, your emotional state, and your lifestyle, as well as your specific presenting systems. Obviously you are at liberty to divulge only as much or as little information as you feel comfortable with at the first session or later, and consultations are entirely confidential.

Generally I would recommend that subsequent sessions be of 60 minutes duration, with the actual treatment being about 45 minutes and time for an introductory and closing chat.

However, shorter treatments can also be beneficial, especially for those people who are short of time or who want to ‘taste’ shiatsu before committing to a longer session.
