What We Do:

Touch is the core of Shiatsu.
Being touched is a fundamental need, rooted deep inside us and embodies quality in our lives.
We all know times of stuckness where physical and emotional problems manifest themselves. We loose the connection to parts of ourselves, feel disharmonised.
Shiatsu helps to open the body and mind and supports you in your development.
I will listen to your body and will help you getting in contact with your inner ressources.
I am a qualified Shiatsu practitioner since 2012 and qualified Well Mother practitioner. I love the integration of moving Elements and sound healing in my bodywork.
"It´s a bliss to see clients connecting to their bodies in a new way and get an overall relief in this awareness."

Queen’s Park Acupuncture & Massage – Laurie Heaps
My Name:
Laurie Heaps
Business Type:
What We Do:

I am both a massage therapist and a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturist working in Glasgow, Southside. I have a special interest in women's health as well as acute and chronic pain. I can combine pregnancy massage with acupuncture to achieve the ultimate relaxation and individual treatment for your priorities and pregnancy needs. I can also use acupressure points (acupuncture without the needles) during your pregnancy massage treatment. I hold a remedial and sports massage qualification and some of these techniques can be used as appropriate.

I offer pregnancy massage for any stage of pregnancy. I use massage and / or acupressure from 36 weeks pregnant to help you to prepare for labour. This involves acupressure / acupuncture points on mainly your legs. The majority of my clients find that having weekly treatments helps reduce the likelihood of being induced. This treatment supports cervix ripening (early stages of dilation). Treatment sessions to teach your partner how to massage you are available. During these sessions, I will teach your partner relevant acupressure for labour preparation and for labour. A booklet with all the points taught is also provided.

If you do go past your due date, we can use a combination of massage and acupuncture to support you starting labour. Again I can teach your partner which acupressure points to use at home to support your labour.

At your appointment I will discuss your priorities, any health issues and check that you are happy with the treatment I have planned. Treatments can be adjusted to suit you. I have a Belloost pregnancy pillow for you to lie on when massaging your back and shoulders. It has a centre section cut away so that your belly is not squashed. Pregnant clients have commented on how comfortable this pillow is. Of course if you would prefer to lie on your side then that is good too.

Treatments are also available post pregnancy. Ask me about the healing and relaxing mother roasting with moxibustion.

I am MSc (Distinction) educated, holding an Acupuncture Diploma from Middlesex University. My thesis on acupuncture and endometriosis was awarded the prize for best dissertation in my year.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), The British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS) and The Complementary Therapists Association (CThA). I am fully insured and my acupuncture clinic is licensed by Glasgow City Council.

If you have any questions about treatments with me, please get in touch. I offer a free 15 minutes, no obligation discovery call

Chantal CHARRON

What We Do:

LE TOUCHER est le premier sens développé par le fœtus. Premier sens à développer chez la sage-femme, témoin privilégié de la plus belle des aventures humaines.
Depuis plus de vingt ans, j'aime écouter avec mes mains ces germes de vie qui poussent sous les jolis ventres ronds. Moments toujours magiques !
J'ai exercé dans tous les domaines autour de la naissance : du CHU, aux petites maternités et même en dispensaire.
Je pratique le shiatsu depuis 15 ans.
Par ses trois aspects fondamentaux, médecine manuelle, préventive et holistique, la pratique du Shiatsu complète merveilleusement la pratique de la Sage-Femme, clinicienne et gardienne de la physiologie de la grossesse et de l'accouchement.
Par le toucher et l'écoute, ces deux pratiques complémentaires aident à apporter mieux être à la future mère et à créer le lien mère-enfant, base fondamentale de toute qualité de relation humaine.

My Name:
Isabelle PONTHIEUX
Business Type:
What We Do:

Je suis sage-femme depuis 1989, formée à la sophrologie, ayant travaillé en clinique pendant plus de 20 ans. Actuellement en exercice libéral depuis 6 ans, j’ai découvert avec bonheur le shiatsu avec Aline Duclos, praticienne certifiée Well Mother, au cours d’une formation pour les sages-femmes en 2015, à Paris.
J’ai pu développer mon sens du toucher, et expérimenter pour moi-même également les bienfaits de cette discipline.
En 2017/2018, j’ai pu parfaire ma pratique avec Aline et obtenir la certification Well Mother « Outils de shiastu pour la sage-femme ».
Avec les futurs parents que je reçois, nous travaillons à préparer la naissance dans une optique très naturelle, avec le travail postural et la liberté de mouvement, avec l’enseignement de points clés spécifiques au papa, ce qui leur permet vraiment de vivre la naissance de leur enfant en couple.
J’ai également l’occasion de donner des shiatsus à mes patientes, en pré et post natal.
Pour la femme enceinte, le shiatsu est essentiel pour libérer le corps de ses tensions, et canaliser ses émotions. Il maintient l’équilibre du corps, dans ce temps de la grossesse où il est en constante adaptation, ainsi que la connexion avec le bébé.
Par sa lenteur, sa profondeur, il permet de respecter le temps de la nature.
