Somatic Belly Massage for Nervous System Regulation & Grounding

In this session, Phoenix receives a gentle somatic belly massage focused on safety, grounding, and allowing the body to soften from within. We begin with light touch and slow tracing around the hara, the central abdominal area used in Zen Shiatsu to assess balance, tension, and energy. From there, I work gently along points of the Conception Vessel, using stillness, presence, and oil to encourage relaxation rather than force change. Somatic work is not about “fixing” the body. It’s about creating the right conditions for the nervous system to settle, allowing held tension to release naturally when the body feels safe enough to do so. Phoenix shared afterward that this session felt similar to practices sometimes referred to as womb massage — slow, respectful belly work used in some traditions to support grounding, reconnection, and emotional release. Here, the focus is always on consent, safety, and listening to the body. This is a quiet, unhurried session — ideal if you’re looking to relax, feel supported, or simply experience what trauma-informed touch can look like in practice. Take a breath… and allow yourself to rest. 🧠 Learn Massage With Me 💆 Free Massage Lessons: Start your journey here — Free Massage Evolve Course https://shiatsushane.thinkific.com/co... 🔥 Ease Sciatica Pain: Relieve lower back tension and leg pain — Treat Sciatica Course https://shiatsushane.thinkific.com/co... 💫 Indian Head Massage: Perfect to help your partner unwind — Indian Head Massage Course https://shiatsushane.thinkific.com/co... 🌀 Traditional Shiatsu (Futon Massage): Learn ancient Japanese techniques — Secrets of Shiatsu Course https://shiatsushane.thinkific.com/co... 🎓 Prefer Learning on Udemy? • Treat Sciatic Pain with Massage https://www.udemy.com/course/treat-sc... • Free Mini Course – Quad Masterclass https://shiatsushane.thinkific.com/co... • Learn Indian Head Massage https://www.udemy.com/course/secrets-... • Learn the Power of Shiatsu https://www.udemy.com/course/how-to-d... Hey all I'm Shane known locally as shiatsu shane, a shiatsu and massage therapist practising out of a small village called in Dinnington in South Yorkshire, England. I'm a fully qualified and trained massage therapist that specialises in shiatsu! however over the years I’ve combined shiatsu along with other modalities such as Thai Massage, Fascial Release, Sports Massage to name just a few to create my own unique style of massage that sometimes I refer to as sports Shiatsu. I began training over 20 years ago at Bradford university were I learned various forms of massage and was introduced to shiatsu however after university I got a normal job working in a shop but something always kept pulling me back and in 2008 I began training again with the northern school of shiatsu, after 3 years training I registered with the Shiatsu Society and set up my own clinic and have since continued to learn all I can about the human body, energy and spirit in order to improve my own skills and help heal more people each year I see hundreds of clients from all over the country. In 2019 I discovered ASMR and found it was a way I can reach and connect with more people and thus help more people and have fun while doing it and the channel has been growing ever since... thank you to all those who continue to support the channel DISCLAIMER Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine.
