Dancing Crane Shiatsu

Shiatsu massage therapist, yogi, zen student, dancer, somatic teacher.

For over 35 years, Joni Cooke has practiced shiatsu — a Chinese medicine bodywork similar to acupuncture but using thumb and elbow pressure not needles. Shiatsu stimulates custom points on meridians to support deep relaxation, pain relief, and healing. Sessions are fully-clothed and traditionally offered on a Japanese floor mat.

In conjunction, Joni also teaches yoga therapy and meditation at her Zen studio practice. As a lifelong dancer with a wonderfully ADHD nervous system, Joni knows many body/mind challenges inside out — and has transformed her own injuries and auto-immune issues. She teaches resilience and repair. She brings unusual sensitivity to the complexities of healing, balance, and nervous system care.
