About me
I’m Charlotte, a certified Iokai shiatsu therapist & Do-In teacher based in Utrecht.
Originally from France, I discovered Shiatsu while living in Japan. During this time, I experienced a profound shift—navigating the transition from student life to adulthood and immersing myself in a new culture. My practice of Karate (Yutenkai) deepened my understanding of the deep relationship between body, mind, and spirit. It was through the guidance of an inspiring woman who shared her passion for Shiatsu that I found a path to greater alignment with myself.
The Netherlands offered me the opportunity to combine studying and corporate work, and therefore I moved to the Netherlands in 2019.
I hold HBO-level degree certification in Shiatsu at the Iokai shiatsu school (2019-2023).
I continue to develop my practice focusing on how shiatsu can support fertility, pregnancy, and after birth under the guidance of Suzanne Yates.
