I have been seeing Cindy Banker for five element shiatsu and nutritional guidance since 2006. I originally went to see her for a skin ailment. She not only cured the ailment, but provided valuable nutritional guidance. She taught me how to understanding my body’s constitution and how it responds to certain substances and food elements. She is also able to provide herbs and recommendations for holistic treatments that you can do at home. She is very qualified and well versed in a variety of bodywork techniques, with many years experience in teaching. She currently teaches at the Watertown Acupuncture School. I admire Cindy on a professional level, but also on a deeply personal level. Her work goes beyond her shiatsu treatment and enters the realm of the spiritual, without becoming overbearing or prescriptive. She empowers her clients to take control of their health, and provides them with the tools needed to do so, at a profound and individualized level. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone seeking five element shiatsu treatment or personal health coaching on a long-term basis.
