• Who I am

SOPHIE ROUILLER

Born in 1979 on the slopes of Lake Geneva, I grew up and studied there until obtaining a Master's degree in Social and Political Sciences. A keen traveler, I first worked in the humanitarian field, before returning to Switzerland to devote myself to social work as a specialized educator.

I discovered Shiatsu in 2002, and immediately fell in love with it. I felt that it did me good, relaxed me, rejuvenated me and helped me to be stronger in the face of life's various vicissitudes. I continued to treat myself on a regular basis, listening to my body's needs. In 2010 I took an introductory course out of sheer curiosity, and immediately loved practising the technique. Working at the time in a home for teenagers, I was able to experience the benefits of Shiatsu on them.

I then started the ISS school in Geneva (www.shiatsu-iss.ch).

The teaching of traditional Chinese medicine based on the Tao (Yin and Yang), the meridians and the 5 seasons of Energy immediately fascinated me. This vision, which reconciles body and mind by considering them as a whole evolving in a constantly changing environment in which it is important to find one's balance, has become essential to me.

I continued my training by taking the Shen Master Training I offered by the Shen Academy (www.shenshiatsu.net/fr)..)

This enabled me to enrich my treatments with more specific techniques targeting the body's various systems (nervous, visceral, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, pressure spheres (diaphragms), energetic).

I am reimbursed by complementary health insurance funds recognized by ASCA and RME.

• How does a session work?

The session takes place on the floor on a futon and lasts approximately 60 minutes. The recipient is dressed in soft, comfortable clothing. As the treatment is applied to the whole body, the person is positioned successively on their back, stomach and, if necessary, in a seated or sideways position. Pressure, stretching and various relaxation and softening techniques are chosen according to the recipient's needs, and meridian work is based on an energy assessment carried out at the start of the session.

• Who is it for?

Shiatsu is a preventive and complementary medicine. It is aimed at anyone wishing to maintain or develop physical, psychological and emotional well-being. It is therefore intended for everyone, whatever their age, and will be adapted according to the restrictions and possibilities of the recipient.

• Areas of application of shiatsu***.

Shiatsu acts directly on the central nervous system, promoting :

⁃ nervous relaxation and the dispersal of physical tension

⁃ stimulation of the body's self-defense system

⁃ self-regulation of the digestive, hormonal, circulatory and respiratory systems

⁃ readjustment of structural misalignments

⁃ rebalancing of the entire energy system

It is therefore indicated in the case of :

⁃ nervous tension, stress and overwork, chest tightness, insomnia, burn-out etc....

⁃ physical tension such as shoulder, neck, back and neck pain and restrictions.

any other joint or structural problems...

⁃ digestive problems such as constipation, difficult digestion etc...

⁃ circulatory problems such as cold extremities, heavy legs, tachycardia or other cardiac fragility.

- ⁃ upper-sphere problems such as sinusitis, tinnitus, vision problems, migraines etc...

- Thoracic sphere problems such as breathing difficulties, asthma, anxiety etc...

Shiatsu is therefore intended for everyone, but it can never replace medical treatment in the case of serious illnesses, and can only be a support and accompaniment in extreme situations or in the case of serious illnesses.

situations. It is therefore important that the person receiving the treatment is transparent about his or her state of health, so that the anamnesis can take place as smoothly as possible, and the treatment can be adapted accordingly.
