DERMATOLOGY - SKIN PROBLEMS

ACNE - ROSACEA, ACNÉE ROSACÉE

Un grand merci à Markus qui a fait des miracles car il m'a permis de vaincre enfin une acnée rosacée que je traînais depuis plus de 10 ans. Le seul traitement efficace était des antibiotiques mais l'acnée revenait de plus en souvent, si bien que je devais prendre des antibiotiques pendant 1mois tous les deux mois. Un désastre!
Grâce au traitement de Markus, la rosacée n'est plus revenue depuis de nombreux mois. Je me sens aussi en meilleure santé générale.
En plus, Markus est très chaleureux et sympathique. Merci 🙏

A big thank you to Markus who has done miracles because he has allowed me to finally defeat a rosacea that I've been having for over 10 years. The only effective treatment was antibiotics but the Rosacea kept coming back more and more often, so I had to take antibiotics for 1 months every two months. A disaster!
Thanks to Markus's treatment, the rosacea has not returned for many months. I also feel healthier overall.
Plus, Markus is very warm and friendly. Thank you 🙏

ACNE

I couldn't be more greatful for Markus, I've had severe acne for 13 years and you couldn't even imagine how many things I've tried! Within 1 week of the herbs I saw a change now 3 months later my skin is 95% better which really the last 5% are scars anyway and the best thing is I've done the whole process on Skype which is so convenient as I work at sea! Plus it's all natural too! No doctor long waits, chemical peels on my face, just a wifi connection to chat and herbs are sent to your door! Couldn't be more greatful for Markus, I tell my friends I'm off to chat to God whenever I have an appointment! Thanks again Markus, I owe you my happiness!!!!!

ACNE

Merci à Markus qui m’a permis de soigner des problèmes de peau récurrents jamais soignés par de nombreux traitements antibiotiques. J’avais également des règles très douloureuses mais ce n’est plus le cas aujourd’hui. Ma santé est bien meilleure grâce aux mélanges d’herbes chinoises.
Markus est aussi très sympathique et patient! Ce qui est très agréable.
Merci Markus 🙏

LICHEN PLANUS

I had a red rash under my leftarmpit that was extremely itchy, raised and very uncomfortable.

I went to see my doctor after a few days as the rash was getting bigger and worse.

My doctor said it was ‘Lichen Planus’ and that i would just have to wait for it to go away by itself, taking between 3-9 month.

She prescribed me antihistamines for the discomfort, but she added that they would not change the duration of the condition.

Also she said that Chinese Herbal Medicine was the only thing she knew of that could help.

I went to see Markus and he gave me some Chinese Herbal Medicine and the itching stopped very quickly.

Over night the rash calmed down and faded  and the itching stopped completely within a day.

By three days the rash had disappeared.

I was very pleased and amazed by the speed of the healing

ALOPECEA AERATA and WRIST PAIN

I first met Markus Grasser,when he offered me shiatsu for a wrist injury I had suffered using power tools.I had been prescribed anti inflammatorys and painkillers from a doctor and was told to expect to wait 3 to 4 weeks for it to recover.

I was more than happily surprised when 2 days after the treatment by Markus,I had the full use of my wrist again and was pain free.

 A while later I asked him for a consultation about the hair loss problem id had for 20 years,alopaecia areata.I had lost id say 70% of my scalp hair..

We discussed lifestyle and diet and changes were recommended as well as a series of Chinese herbs.

Markus explained the course of treatment prescribed to me in some depth, and assisted me in identifying and transforming  the ways in which I was literally  exhausting my system.

I undertook to take the herbs twice a day,and adopted a wiser dietary regime,and  vigorous scalp massage,and I received shiatsu from a student of markus.

What I can say today,is that after a year or so of taking the herbsetc,my hair coverage on my scalp is probably 80%.

I have learned to listen to my bodies needs more and take far better care of my health.

I have slowed my pace down, I don’t experience the constant pressure of rushing constantly that I used to experience. I still get the same amount done,but without exhausting myself in the process.I think the course of treatment inspired me and assisted me in being willing to take responsibility for nourishing myself as best I can,

Im deeply grateful to Markus,I found it easy to be open and honest with him, I felt cared for and encouraged by him along the way, and I would recommend him to anyone who wanted to make some healthy changes in their lives with the support of a man dedicated to uplifting the quality of peoples lives.

PSORIASIS

J'ai eu le PSORIASIS depuis longtemps depuis petit 4 ans et je prenais que de la cortisone jusqu'à mes 15 ans.  Je suis venu chez monsieur Markus quand j'avais 15 ans pour des plantes chinoises. J'ai pris la pharmacopée pendant 1 mois et j'ai eu rien jusque a aujourd'hui (J'ai 17 ans maintenant) . Avec la cortisone ça marchait pas!

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, SKIN PROBLEMS, ALLERGIES 

I cant recommend Shiatsu with Markus highly enough.

As a type 1 diabetic, with rheumatoid arthritis and a number of immune related conditions, the combination of shiatsu and Chinese herbal medicine has been profoundly positive for me.  At worst I had trouble walking without assistance, but now the symptoms of RA have gone!  The other conditions have also been cured or greatly relieved (skin problems, allergies & other diabetic symptoms).

Markus describes the process as 'peeling back the layers of an onion', as over a course of repeated treatments, the work in releasing blockages and stimulating positive energy  flow goes progressively deeper. 

Most significantly Shiatsu has awakened me to the 'body-mind', to the integration of the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical self and to understanding how balancing these elements is intrinsic to achieving good health.

ECZEMA 7 month old baby

Après une importante poussée d'eczéma sur tout le corps de mon bébé de 7 mois j'ai consulté Markus Grasser. Il m'a indiqué des plantes à utiliser en bain et des crèmes adaptés à l'âge de mon fils. Ça a très bien marché pour lui. Après seulement quelques semaines de traitement, on ne distingue presque plus de plaques sur sa peau alors qu'il était à vif et se grattait jusqu'au sang. À l'âge de mon bébé on ne peut pas lui donner grand chose mais dans les cas de problèmes de peau je recommande vraiment d'essayer la médecine chinoise quand c'est possible, même pour les tous petits ! Markus est très prudent et très avisé dans ses recommandations et maintenant je suis soulagée pour mon fils 😊.

ECZEMA, HIVES - URTICARIA

Big Thank You to Markus Grasser for helping me through my skin condition. I could write a very long review but will try my best to keep it short. In March 2018, I developed strong sporadic skin rashes. I had previously experienced similar types of rashes in the past and they were cleared by changing my thyroid and BP meds. So, my Dr assumed that I may have an intolerance to the new meds and opted to change the meds again. However, this did not work, and my skin rash persisted (hives, rash, some bleeding skin). Prior to meeting Markus, I was diagnosed with eczema by a dermatologist in Grasse. He recommended Cortisone cream, and this made my skin worse. I even had to go to the emergencies as I could not bear the rash itch and they gave me anti histamine. They also informed me that my condition was not eczema. I was put on 4 histamines a day which did not clear the rash.

Fortunately, my friend recommended me Markus Grasser. Markus Grasser listened very carefully to my problems and was very patient. He prepared my Chinese Herbal treatment within 2 Days and within 3 weeks I started to feel better and my skin started healing. Furthermore, the treatment helped to gradually reduce my anti histamine intake. Today I can say that I am completely off the anti-histamine and my skin is 100 percent better. Furthermore, another condition of mine (dark pigmentation) which I have had for several years has started to clear.

Thank you, Markus. I highly recommend Markus Grasser.

HAYFEVER, ALLERGIC RHINITIS treated with CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Anyone who has pollen allergies I highly recommend. Used to get very ill and have the worst spring afternoons, ever since the herbal treatment I've felt like a new person. Completely life changing and has a much better effect that any pills or eye drops!

MENOPAUSAL PROBLEMS, HOT FLUSHES, INSOMNIA

MENOPAUSAL HOT FLUSHES, NIGHT SWEATS, INSOMNIA etc

Hi Markus...! I want to say a HUGE thank you for quite literally changing my life and ridding me of my menopausal symptoms...it's nothing short of a miracle. I'm so so so so grateful to you and stunned that I had results in less than a month....gone are the night sweats, the hot flushes, the various other (many) related issues. You've simply rebuilt my endocrine system for which I shall be forever grateful. It's been 4 months now and I'm still symptom free and feeling sooo great. My burning feet issues have also disappeared...something I've had since a child...I now sleep without interruption...after all these years....another miracle!! Hurrah!!! So thank you thank you thank you thank you. I'm so blown away and stunned with this miracle and so many positive changes.... absolutely thrilled and beyond happy...I just have my life back and more.

 I first met Markus at one of his Qigong classes which I enjoyed so much that I have since become a regular practitioner of Qigong. Some time after I attended the class with Markus I developed some debilitating health problems that manifested themselves through episodes that my Western medicine doctors described as epileptic in nature. 

Markus took the time to listen carefully to my symptoms and explained that my neck and shoulders (amongst other areas) were very tense, blocking the circulation of energy and blood to my head and sensory organs (especially ears and eyes) as well as creating symptoms of heat and the above mentioned epileptic type symptoms.

All this was probably caused by years of working in a stressful environment as a corporate lawyer and partner in a busy and successful law firm along with the personal burdens I had possibly been carrying around for many years.

Markus prescribed herbs (which I admit I found difficult to take sometimes) along with regular shiatsu treatments for me.  I also changed my diet in accordance with Markus’s advice to  include more foods in my diet that were cooling which I did and increased my exercise regime. 

When I used to walk into Markus’s surgery, I always felt a sense of safety and being in the best possible hands and during our Shiatsu sessions could sense that Markus gave his “absolute all” to the treatments he administered to me - giving his own energy in such a personal and caring but very professional way.  It was like he personally absorbed what was wrong inside my body. 

It took a little while but I gradually became the best version of myself that I have been in a long time with regards to the my heath and well being.  When I attended my consultation with my consultant back in England who had diagnosed possible epilepsy and hence advised me to not to drive, I passed all of the tests with flying colours and he  accepted that I had effectively taken control of my own health in an alternative way, via Markus of course, and he signed me off. 

I have had no episodes since and wish to thank Markus from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to an alternative way of treating what was a most frightening period of my life when sometimes I was out of the world in terms of my awareness for hours at a time.   Markus is exceptionally knowledgeable and kind and I will not hesitate to contact him again should I experience any significant health problem.

GYNECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

PERIOD PROBLEMS: almost continuous FLOODING

 After at least 10 years of ridiculously heavy periods that barely ever stopped, I went to Markus to see if he could help.  I thought if nothing else I'd have a wonderful massage and an hour of 'me' time for a change.  I wasn't holding out much hope (I'd been under a gyny professor in London and I have a complicated medical history) BUT Markus has really worked his magic.  My periods are now what I would consider normal and I cannot believe what a difference it has made to my life.  Thanks SO much Markus.

DOULEURS ABDOMINALES - SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAINS

 "Lorsque j’ai consulté Markus pour la première fois, je souffrais depuis presque dix ans de douleurs abdominales sous différentes formes et intensités sans qu’aucune maladie ait été réellement diagnostiquée. J’avais également d’importants troubles du sommeil et j’étais assez désespérée de voir cet état s’améliorer. La médecine occidentale expliquait ces symptômes par une dysbiose et un état de stress élevé. Markus m’a expliqué après examen que selon lui il ne s’agissait pas de problèmes digestifs et il a toujours pris le temps de m’expliquer comment raisonnait la médecine chinoise et comment lui allait essayer d’agir. Depuis un an, j’expérimente les massages shiatsu et la phytothérapie pratiqués par Markus et même si tout n’est pas encore parfait, ma qualité de vie aujourd’hui est incomparable par rapport à ce qu’elle était il y a un an. Dans mon cas les résultats n’ont pas été spectaculaires tout de suite, surtout parce que mes problèmes étaient présents depuis très longtemps, mais cela valait vraiment la peine d’insister… Tous mes symptômes ont considérablement réduit en intensité et en fréquence et je suis totalement convaincue par l’approche de Markus. Je continue de le consulter en cabinet et je pense que toutes les personnes avec des douleurs chroniques et inexpliquées par la médecine occidentale, si elles le peuvent, devraient essayer la médecine chinoise avec lui."

UTERINE PROLAPSE

I was diagnosed with a uterine prolapse which I was told would possibly need surgery.

I had a couple of months between initial diagnosis and my appointment to see the specialist responsible for surgery, so I asked Markus if he could treat it in any way in the meantime.

He prescribed me Chinese Herbal Medicine which I took each day, and I was completely amazed that when I was examined by the surgeon two months later, he could not find any prolapse and couldn't understand why I had been referred to him at all!

BREAST FEEDING PROBLEMS, MASTITIS

My delight at the birth of our baby son was badly marred by the difficulty I had breastfeeding him. Afer weeks of pain, disappointment, feelings of inadequacy and a string of regular medical – and completely ineffectual – remedies, I went to see Markus for Shiatsu. The results was dramatic. I felt as if my whole body had been re-tuned, my milk began to flow and feeding became a joy. Now Ciaran is a happy, bouncing and well fed baby, and I am a happy and fulfilled mother. I would recommend Shiatsu with Markus Grasser to anyone who is experiencing breastfeeding problems.

GYNECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS treated with CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Thank you so much for your very sensitive and effective treatment of my condition.  You helped me to be able to explain exactly the issues and I could tell that you knew just what I needed to do.  My herbs were delivered promptly and I started with them immediately.  Very soon the problems started to recede and have never re-occurred.  I would highly recommend your practice to anyone, safe in the knowledge that you are professional, sensitive and easy to talk to.

MIGRAINES & HEADACHES

MIGRAINES: 

I can highly recommend Markus Grasser, a Chinese Herbalist. Since seeing him on a regular basis i have gone from debilitating migraines 3-4 days a week to nothing for 6 month

MIGRAINES 

Markus, I'm embarking on a new year in MUCH better shape than when I crawled through your door in 2017. My migraines have been halved (!!) since then - imagine what would happen if I followed your directions more than half the time! Do this year I make only one commitment, and that is to follow the only treatment that has ever worked for me. Yours. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

HEADACHES AND NECK PROBLEMS

I have been having neck problems for such a long time that I began to think it is normal to live with it. Having shiatsu has definitely changed that. I am now able to live without pain and headaches that have affected me for such a long time. It is also fascinating to learn the behavioral patterns that go with it!!! And although having shiatsu is certainly much more enjoyable then drinking the Chinese "tea" , my sleep pattern has improved drastically after taking the herbs so thanks Markus.

IMMUNE SYSTEM - RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS- RECURRENT COLDS - SINUSITIS -

RECURRENT COLDS AND SINUS PROBLEMS treated with SHIATSU AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

"When I came to see Markus 2 years ago, I was constantly suffering  

from colds, coughs and respiratory infections. Most of the previous  

few winters had been spent fighting off illness and taking antibiotics.

 

I started seeing Markus for Shiatsu and things improved and I felt  

less clogged and tired. However, I was still congested and Markus  

suggested taking herbs. I have to say I was not convinced they would  

work as I have tried all sorts of supplements over the years. I had  

become resigned to suffering all winter. But I decided to give them a  

try and Markus prescribed a mixture to strengthen my lungs.  Almost  

immediately I started to feel better and my breathing felt easier and  

stronger. That winter I only had two very light colds and didn't need  

to take any antibiotics. I have continued to take the herbs and truly  

believe they support my whole system and keep me healthy, especially  

in the winter months. Huge thanks to Markus and his magic herbs!"

RECURRENT COLDS, CHEST INFECTIONS treated with SHIATSU AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

' I first started seeing Markus about two years ago as I'd spent a winter recovering from repeated chest infections and my immunity was clearly weakened in some way ( as an older mum with two young children under five , I'm sure the sleepless nights and general wear and tear of motherhood were having an impact !)  . Markus spent the first session asking copious questions to get to the root of the problem and gave me the first of several Chinese herbal prescriptions to set me on the road to health . The taste of the resulting remedy took a little getting used to but i quite enjoy it now ! Taking the remedies on a regular basis combined with wonderful regular shiatsu sessions have resulted in a very different picture of health now . I've not had any colds or chest infections this last winter and if i get the hint of an infection coming on it doesn't seem to develop. For me, there was no quick fix or cheap solution ( and i had to sometimes force myself to remember to take the remedies ) but i feel i have made an important commitment and investment in my long term health.  I think Markus is a caring, gifted practitioner who passionately believes in his work and clearly gets results '

BURN OUT, STRESS, TENSION ARTERIELLE, INSOMNIE etc.

Je m’appelle Bernard Massiera et je suis enseignant chercheur en 
sociologie et management à l'Université de Nice.

Je témoigne des effets bénéfiques des traitements que m'a administré 
Markus Grasser.

Je souffrais de stress chronique qui a provoqué un burn out entraînant 
une admission au service d'urgence avec plus de 18/10 de tension 
artérielle, acouphènes, insomnies, sueurs et fortes douleurs dans la 
poitrine.
Bilan de l'hôpital : je souffre de stress aigue.

Dans un premier temps, j'ai traité la phase aiguë avec des anxiolytiques 
qui me calmaient en m'endormant mais sans traiter le problème à son 
origine.

Désireux de sortir de cette situation, j'ai entamé un traitement à base 
de shiatsu et d'herbes médicinales chinoises avec Markus Grasser. 
Quelques mois plus tard, ma tension artérielle est revenue à la normale 
(14/8) et je n'ai plus aucun symptôme de stress.

Le bénéfice de ce traitement est que mon corps est détendu avec mes 
muscles et articulations qui ont retrouvés leur souplesse. Je dors 7 
heures par nuit, j'ai retrouvé du dynamisme ce qui me permet de 
bénéficier d'une meilleure qualité de vie.

J'en remercie Markus Grasser.

MUSCULO-SCELETAL PROBLEMS - PAIN

ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

When I first received Shiatsu treatment I discovered that i did not have to spend the rest of my life in chronic pain. A good Shiatsu treatment is more effective for my ankylosing spondylitis than any form of treatment that i have ever tried, including orthodox anti-inflammatory drugs. I injured my spine as a teenager, and by the time I was in my 20s I had pain in 80% of my back, 80% of the time.  Now in my 60s I have pain less than 5% of the time and in less than 5% of my back, and I am more flexible than I was 40 years ago, thanks to Shiatsu.

A recent Shiatsu treatment aslo stopped a rapidly developing cold in its tracks. I am endlessly impressed by the effectiveness of Shiatsu.

CHRONIC HEEL PAIN - PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Whilst visiting grasse, for a month, in December I had four shiatsu treatments with Markus and took herbs prescribed by him. My main complaint was painful heels ( plantar fasciitis) that caused daily nerve pain on walking and resting.
I would say that the pain has subsided by 80% over that time and I’d had the problem for nearly a year.
Besides that benefit I also felt a general benefit to my health. A sense of being uplifted both psychologically but also physically. Like I stood upright more and my body was physically stronger. A loss of that saggy feeling that can be a part of middle age.
As a fellow herbalist I was most impressed by the dedication and commitment Markus has to his practise as well as his care to me his patient.
I have now found myself a permanent herbalist and luckily he lives in the south of France so I have an excuse to have to visit there there a few times a year.

NECK, SHOULDER, ARM PROBLEMS/PAIN , CARPAL TUNNEL

Markus has worked a miracle with shiatsu to relieve months of chronic hand, arm and neck pain which resulted from a spontaneous cervical hernia (neck C5-C6) I suffered in Oct 2015. Then a torn shoulder ligament 6 months later resulted in further restricted arm movement (my shoulder was 'blocked' at less than 90degrees to my body & I even had difficulty dressing myself) plus more intense pain. After 10 months of seeing several doctors, numerous MRIs, nerve tests & physiotherapy 3 times per week, plus various cocktails of pain medication, I was scheduled for a carpal tunnel operation to relieve the long-term inflammation in my wrist (resulting from the neck hernia). I was not looking forward to that as there was still no guarantee going under the knife would be the solution. Instead, at Markus's suggestion, I had 2 intensive shiatsu sessions per week with him from Oct 2016 and after 6 weeks I was truly amazed at the improvement in my condition: vastly increased shoulder & arm flexibility and reduction of my constant muscle & nerve pain. I feel the shiatsu addressed the cause and not just the symptoms of my 'injury'. Happily, I can now raise my arm above my head again and have 90% strength back in my wrists! 
Even so, I have continued with the shiatsu, at a less intensive rate, as part of my on-going rehabilitation, and because I really feel other benefits too, such as reduced headaches and better digestion. 
Markus is both caring and knowledgeable in his manner & I feel a real sense of relaxation, well-being and balance after each treatment. His little wooden treatment studio, set among the trees & nature, creates a peaceful haven in the hills above Grasse. Thank you, Markus, for your magic touch and your kind heart

CHRONIC COUGH, SHOULDER TENSION

I came to Markus in a sorry state, both emotionally and physically as I was just recovering from a major operation and a traumatic life change. Markus greeted me with kindness and gentleness and started dealing with the most urgent problems – my chronic cough and very tight shoulders. My cough disappeared almost immediately and we are now dealing with the nasal congestion. My shoulders are amazingly loose and pain-free.  Each time I see him is an adventure into understanding my body, as well as being of course a very pleasant experience. What else will he be able to liberate the next time I see him? Thank you Markus for your skill and kindness.

SHOULDER PAIN

I had been suffering for several years with a bad shoulder (due to my manual job). I consulted my GP and had several sessions of physiotherapy but this didn’t seem to help. I decided to try something different and thought that shiatsu maybe the answer.

On my first visit to Markus I explained my symptoms, and then MarKus began to work on my back and shoulders. After a few moments Markus was able to feel how tight and painful my shoulder was. I underwent a 6 week course of treatment and by the end of it I felt like a completely different person. Markus was able to resolve my problem, which is something my doctor and physiotherapist couldn’t do, and better still it only took 6 weeks.

My shoulder pain has not returned, however I still see Markus on a regular basis as a form of prevention rather than cure. Markus is able to feel if there is anything slightly wrong and correct it before it becomes an issue.

I have recommended Markus to my family and friends, some of whom have also benefitted from Markus’ expertise.

If you have any health issues then a call to Markus could be the best thing you have done for a long time – it could change your quality of life and health forever.

HIP PAIN

I had been suffering for several years with a very painful hip and found it difficult to walk (especially up stairs). I had consulted my GP who advised that I may need a hip replacement; this was a very scary prospect. I had been speaking to my son about this and he suggested that I try a course of Shiatsu with Markus (my son was a regular client). I was very sceptical but thought it was worth a try.

On my first visit Markus asked me to describe my symptoms, Markus then started to work on my legs, ankles and hips to see if he could find the problem. Markus noticed that something was wrong with my ankle, and asked if I had ever injured my ankle. I said I had fallen off a horse in my teens (around 35 yrs ago), Markus said that the injury to my ankle was the cause of my pain and discomfort. Markus explained that my body had tried to compensate for the injury to my ankle and in turn had caused an issue with my hip.

 Markus suggested a 6 week course of treatment, and after just 1 session I could already feel an improvement. By the end of the 6 weeks I could walk normally and even go up and down stairs without any problems.

I was originally looking at a hip replacement operation, but after 6 weeks with Markus and no need for drugs or surgery I felt like a new women.

I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of alternative therapy to contact Markus and give it a go, it has definitely changed my life for the better.

MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS

GALLBLADDER PROBLEMS, STRESS treated with SHIATSU and CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

A friend of mine recommended Markus because I was looking for help after I had a bad gallbladder attack. After a few treatments of shiatsu and herbs, I'm able to eat whatever I want again and feel a million times more relaxed.  I really like that he always takes time to explain what the treatments are for. He also has a really warm and caring nature, so I'd be happy recommending him to anybody.

GENERAL COMMENTS SHIATSU:

SHIATSU with Markus Grasser

Receiving Shiatsu from Markus is a true gift along my journey to health.

Today’s session was deeply moving and transformative.

As Markus held different areas of my stomach; images, memories and emotions came flooding into my awareness. Within the safety of his presence, I was able to witness and feel this fully. Childhood feelings and memories held there were very clear and although intense, the release into my awareness of these old wounds and negative messages allowed a deep and profound healing. As Marcus moved to the heart area, one single thought or understanding around all these old negative messages, beliefs and resulting lack of self worth and self esteem came clearly to me… It isn’t True… These accumulated negative beliefs about myself, simply are not true … they are just the results of others peoples own wounds and I need carry them no longer.

A deep and beautiful feeling washed over my whole being, as for the first time in my life, I was able to breathe fully and deeply right to the tips of my fingers and toes, and take my place in my body and world. At last I could allow myself simply just to Be…

I felt and feel beautiful, exactly as I am. I know that the root of many years struggle and poor health had at last been reached and healed.

I am truly blessed to know Markus and to have taken this amazing journey with him.

I am still so amazed at how the body holds these memories and messages and the difficulties that they can cause, yet how with skillfull body work such as this, they can be unearthed and transformed in such a beautiful and profound way.

SHIATSU

Bonjour Markus,

Un grand merci pour ce Shiatsu que j'ai recu de ta part et que tu m'as donné.

Ce fut une experience interressante pour moi et j'ai envie de continuer. J'ai personnellement beaucoup apprécié ton professionalism et ton art.

Cela m'a permis de faire un debut de reconnexion avec mon corps et mes emotions et je ressens que ce type de massage constitue en soi un veritable chemin thérapeutique.

Au plaisir et a la prochaine. Amicalement

Dr Jean Eugene

 

SHIATSU

I came to Markus after a particularly loony and physically draining summer season, feeling like my body was not able to bounce back in the usual manner. Several niggles had become aggravated, including a tendon in my arm and stiffness in knee joints and my back.
A general cloudiness.
I realised in our discussion before the treatment how connected these things were and how long I had been gradually getting used to them.
For me, the shiatsu was extremely multi layered.
Physically , there was an incredible sense of unwinding and re-connection. It occurs to me now that i was being both pulled skywards and into the earth. It's quite hard to describe . I felt that Markus was instinctively guiding the process. Just that feeling of utter relaxation is a reboot in itself. .
To accompany the outward physical sensations were vivid mental pictures, of flight and wide space, then moving inward and finishing with a neon blue energy grid connecting all the major points in my body.
Completely vibed is how I would describe my feeling afterwards.
We had a chat on the steps of the hut , in amongst the trees, and then I left. Reconnected.

Thank you Markus !

Alex
