Shiatsu and Qigong

in Margate with Svenja Schaper

Welcome! I’m Svenja, a highly experienced practitioner and teacher at Moving Touch Therapies, based in Margate by the soothing sea. I offer therapeutic Shiatsu massage & Japanese Facial Rejuvenation treatments as well as Qigong mindful movement classes & workshops to support your sense of self, health, vitality and wellbeing.

My approach is to support you to discover and receive the best ways for your body-mind to feel well. 

Both Shiatsu and Qigong are effective ways to feel more connected and grounded in order to deal with life’s challenges.  They are practical tools to address musculoskeletal aches and pains, release deeply held stress and tension, improve sleep, digestion and circulation whilst allowing the body to grow a deeper sense of calm and wellbeing.

I have a light and tranquil treatment room near Westbrook Bay, a mere 15 minutes walk from the train station and whether you’re a local or Margate visitor, you can combine a beach walk with your session!  Sessions happen on a futon and clients remains fully clothed – please wear comfortable, cosy fitting clothes.

While my new website is under construction, please get in touch for a free discovery call or to book a session/class:
