Catherine Tuck @ Hiatus

Hi, I’m Cathy. I’ve been practising Shiatsu and acupuncture for over 24 years, working with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I see the body as more than just physical—it’s a guide to balance, growth, and wellbeing. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, feeling run-down, or just need a moment to breathe and recharge, I create a space to help you relax, restore, and reconnect. I’d love to support you on your journey to feeling your best.

Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a practice where specific points on the body are stimulated with fine, sterile needles to adjust internal conditions. Patients are assessed individually, and treated according to their unique history and lifestyle. A wide range of ailments may be addressed through this method, as it stimulated the body’s innate healing powers. This holistic approach aims to treat the root cause of imbalances rather than just the symptoms.

Shiatsu:

Shiatsu is the art of balancing the body through the use of massage, acupressure and stretch. Performed on a mat, clients remain fully clothed. During this massage deep relaxation is created by stimulating the function of the meridian system through the practitioners fingers, palms, and thumbs, helping the organs to perform at their best. Perfect for relieving stress, easing muscle discomfort and moving stuck energy. Remember to wear something comfortable to the session!

Reflexology :

Chinese Reflexology is an ancient healing practice in which reflex zones on the hands and feet are stimulated through firm pressure, to initiate a healing response and balance the organ systems. The hands and feet in this tradition represent the North and South Poles of the body, which should be brought into balance, to ensure a healthy flow of life-force through the individual. Not only is it deeply relaxing but it also boosts the immune system, helps relieve pain and improves the circulation.

Facial Gua Sha:

Gua Sha is an Ancient Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the oil lubricated skin with a tool, to promote circulation, reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. It can be applied as a facial rejuvenation treatment, which lifts, sculpts and plumps the skin. It improves the skin’s condition, encouraging collagen production, lymphatic drainage and radiance. Lines and wrinkles are softened and facial contours are lifted.
