Shiatsu for Teenagers: The Silent Support That Helped My Daughter Find Herself Again

Agnese was recommended to me by a friend—not for myself, but for my daughter, who was going through a challenging time. I was immediately enthusiastic: I’ve always loved holistic treatments. She, on the other hand, was very skeptical:“What even are these things? You’re the only one who believes in them.”

The First Session: An Unexpected Shift

And yet, after the very first session, something changed. Without any explanation, she simply said:“Okay, Mom, let’s keep going. ”

There were no words, but in her silence, there was a quiet openness.

Shiatsu for Teenagers: A Space of Her Own

I believe that through Agnese’s treatments, my daughter found a space just for herself. A safe place to relax, to listen inwardly, and to care for a body worn out by constant sports activity. But that’s not all. The treatments also became a protected space where deeper emotional knots could begin to loosen—those silences that often hide feelings too difficult to name, quietly waiting to be seen and held, even without words.

She started to open up more, to share, to express sensations she used to keep inside.And for me, that was an incredible gift.

I'd Do It a Thousand Times Over

I would recommend this experience to everyone—and to myself, too, if I hadn’t chosen to give her this moment first.

My daughter wants to keep going with Shiatsu. She doesn’t say it aloud, but her desire to return speaks louder than words.
