I wasn't sure that Iku would be strong enough for me as I like quite firm massage generally but i was really surprised to find out she knows bodies much better than I could have hoped for. That rare sense of knowing when to apply pressure and when to back off, but not to much.. A really relaxing and yet rehabilitative massage that I am definitely going back for.. Iku has hands of god!

I have been going to Ikuko for massages for many years. She always asks if there are any problem areas that need specific attention, and is very thorough and professional. I work at a computer all day, and have frequent neck and shoulder tension. Ikuko always provides just the right amount of pressure, and I feel much better when I’m done. I would strongly recommend Ikuko for massage.

I have been receiving regular massages from Iku at my workplace for around 2 and a half years. Seeing Iku is always a highlight of my week and she always leaves me feeling relaxed. Often Iku finds spots in my body that I did not even realise were sore. I suffer from endometriosis and Iku's abdominal massages help relieve my cramps. I also hold a lot of tension in my arms and shoulders which regular massages from Iku have helped with. I always recommend Iku to any new starters at my workplace.

Visiting Ikuko is always a treat. Frequent exercise means that my muscles tend to feel tight; it feels like the norm. When I visit Ikuko, it's often without a particular issue. When I leave the session, I don't immediately feel too different. As the day progresses, I feel my movements being more relaxed, and notice that that helps with my everyday activity, recovery, as well as with sports. I hope to continue seeing Ikuko for her therapeutic practice!

I have had Chi Nei Tsang therapy from Ikuko for more than five times over the past several months and it’s been an amazing experience to have! I was to be honest a bit scared to be massaged pretty firmly around my navel for the first time, but I actually started feeling even ecstatic sensations when I got used to it. Ikuko explained to me that the abdominal area is what is called "second brain” for our body and I did feel much more balanced and was experiencing a calm state of mind afterward, I feel like being in a deep meditative state during the therapy. I highly recommend Ikuko’s therapy not only for physical conditions but also for wellbeing in your mind!

I've been having massages from Iku at my workplace for the last year and a half. I try to go every fortnight (I'd go more often, but I want to let other people get to see her as well!). Massages with Iku represent such a wonderful, calming pause in my day. Iku is happy to chat if that's what I feel like, and equally happy to have a quiet session if that's what I need. I get really tight muscles around my shoulders and neck that always feel more relaxed after a session with Iku, and she's helped me with whatever other knots and pains I've had after doing different types of exercise or a particularly hard week. She'll always check what I am looking for from a session and act accordingly, whether it's something specific like focussing on a particular pain or something general like just wanting to have a little break. Iku sometimes finds out things from my body that I don't even know about and can help me address them through massage or getting more sleep or slightly changing my diet. I've been very lucky to have her regularly visiting my workpace.

We are so blessed to have Iku subcontract at our employer weekly, to offer in-house treatments. She is both lovely as a person and very knowledgable of her craft. I ensure I am not out of office on the day she is in, and I ensure no one books a meeting with me when I have my massage booked. Every week I look forward to it, and every week I thank myself for making this time for myself. As a chronic headache sufferer, these treatments are an absolute godsend. I am really impressed with her assessment of what is unbalanced with me that week. Any shiatsu or abdominal massage she applies, is tailored, and always very therapeutic. One can usually spot the person who has just been treated, gliding around the office. Very much a highlight of my week, and something I try never miss.

I’ve been enjoying massage with Iku for more then 2 years now. It is absolutely amazing! Iku is very professional and just do magic to my neck and shoulders. She always gives me very good advices if my body is in stress or dehydrated. I fell so much better after the session, my sleep cycle is improved, my stress level is lower and my back feels so much better. I highly recommend Iku! I wish I could go to her massages every day.

I’m fortunate that Ikuko offers Shiatsu massage sessions at my workplace each week. I’ve been booking sessions for about five years and I always enjoy my weekly massage. They are performed clothed, using precise acupressure techniques across the whole body. During the massage I feel floating and relaxed. Afterwards I notice improved blood circulation, and openness in my muscles and joints. Ikuko is pleasant & easy to communicate with, and always very respectful. I find that she has a good intuition for what my body needs. She can sense just the to right points to work on. I notice the reputation of her massages has really grown among my co-workers. They have become so popular that all the sessions get bought out a month in advance.

Being an experienced energy field worker I am super particular in who I allow to apply therapies to my body mind and soul. Whist experiencing a Shiatsu session with Ikuko I sensed her intuition and knowledge of eastern practices highly developed. She powerfully yet equally subtly activated and balanced my meridian Chanel’s and acupressure points. Her touch &healing ability was amazing. I really benefited from my treatment with Ikuko and highly recommend her to anyone. Love&blessings Januta Ribinskas Executive Wellbing. July 2017 As a trained massage therapist, I have very high expectations when receiving manual therapies. Ikuko is a highly skilled and experienced practitioner in chi nei tsang and shiatsu. If you have ever wanted to try chi nei tsang, I highly recommend Ikuko as a practitioner of this ancient form of healing. It will change your life, as it has mine.
