Testimonials

I strongly recommend consulting Anne

I have been seeing Anne for six months now. With her, I know I am in safe and very capable hands. She is able to customize the treatments based on my needs which could be different every time. The congestion I had in my abdomen area has dissipated through Chi Nei Tsang whilst my neck and back have revived via Shiatsu. My daily stresses have also curtailed with the Tension Release exercises Anne conducts. The holistic approach combined with her understanding of the body’s mechanisms is a winning formula for one’s wellness. I strongly recommend consulting Anne to do away with the clogs and blocks that we tend to build up over the course of our city lives.

My body could recover from the tiredness smoothly

Anne is a professional, skilled and very experienced Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner. I highly recommend her work to those who have been searching alternative method to stimulate & balance the body. She explains the process and intention of the treatment. She always understands what I need and so the result of the treatment has been always maximized.

After coming back from an intensive & long-flight business trip, my abdominal was tightened so much and I could feel that the energy was not flowing good enough due to circulation blockage as well as the weakened abdominal. Yet, thanks to Anne’s Chi Nei Tsang, my body could recover from the tiredness smoothly and could release unnecessary stress from my body.
I simply like & enjoy each session with her – Thank you, Anne!

I could breathe more deeply, and my heart felt more relaxed

I had a series of three detox massages with Anne. I sometimes felt my body shaking as deep tension was released. I especially liked how the massages included the use of sound – as I was making the various sounds, I could feel the vibration in my tissues. That loosened up the tension in my chest and abdomen, and I could feel my organs becoming unstuck and moving more freely. I could breathe more deeply, and my heart felt more relaxed and open.”

Anne is a key person in my HK life and can only deeply and truly recommend her and her practice to anyone.

I have been Anne’ patient for over 4 years now, as soon as I arrived to HK.
I had a previous very positive shiatsu experience in Europe which made me look for shiatsu practitioners in HK.
I must say that Anne totally contributes to my balance allowing me to get through tough periods of stress and solve sleeping problems periods.
I totally recommend Anne for her talented shiatsu skills where both aspects, physical and psychological, are taken into consideration. Her availability to listen to you and to your body makes her practice a real need for me.
Having gone through 2 pregnancies, Anne has also been a very positive and crucial support.
I can say today that Anne is a key person in my HK life and can only deeply and truly recommend her and her practice to anyone.

One of the reasons my pregnancy(36 weeks) is really going well so far, is because of receiving regular treatments from Anne.

I can truly recommend Anne’s therapeutic work. Anne has a very sensitive and exceptional ability to listen to what the body presents and it is easy to relax in her nurturing, reassuring and confident presence. …In her therapeutic work she includes both, Shiatsu and Somatic Bodywork, which she combines skillfully and beautifully. Through Somatic Bodywork, Anne guides your body through subtle and natural movements to resolve blockages. I have found the combination to have a very powerful and supportive effect – especially her verbal guidance brings you in a state of a deep body and mind relaxation, integration and awareness.
In pregnancy, and preferably even before pregnancy, I believe it is our duty as women to detoxify, clarify, heal to prepare our bodies to the best of our abilities and give our children the utmost chance of being healthy and experiencing a safe and an as easy as possible birth.

Anne smoothed a difficult transitional time of my life and eased my body

I went to Anne for shiatsu treatment after a miscarriage which had left me stressed, upset and I generally felt out of sync with my body and to be honest with life. I was gifted with a session from a friend and afterwards I felt much more grounded and settled. I followed up with Anne and started to see her regularly. My periods became regular which I had always had problems with and without as much cramping. By the time I had my last session with Anne (as life took us in different geographical directions) I will never forget she said (which was the first time she had) your system feels great it just feels like its functioning really well. I shortly after found out I was pregnant and had a great pregnancy and a beautiful little girl. I honestly believe as much as my system may have got there over time Anne smoothed a difficult transitional time of my life and eased my body back into an equilibrium which I really could not find for myself. Thank you Anne

I recommend using Shiatsu with Anne for her professional and friendly approach of the body balance

Shiatsu sessions with Anne Cousin are a real good work and leisure time to better understand my body works physically and mentally. Having an intense international business life mixed with mountain marathons during the cooler season and strong physical training for dragon boat races season, I enjoy the therapy balance between pressure massages, relaxation, flex joints, breathing and muscles exercises. Every week or every month, depending on needs, I recommend using Shiatsu with Anne for her professional and friendly approach of the body balance.

It did not only relieve pain but it was very relaxing

I am Thai and was an expat in Seoul between 2006-2009. I often do Thai massage when ever I got pain or ache which is helpful and relieving. I first tried Shiatsu in Seoul with Anne Cousin. It was different from Thai massage I used to. It did not only relieve pain but it was very relaxing to the body & mind. Her touch is very soft but the feeling was very deep in my body. Since then I received Shiatsu from her even during my pregnancy to relax my whole body and I could get enough sleep after. She has been to France and USA practicing higher level for Shiatsu and settled in Hong Kong. I strongly believe that her Shiatsu must be excellent and when ever I visit Hong Kong I surely will receive Shiatsu from her.

Je dirais que le Shiatsu est une réelle technique de massage

Un peu dubitative sur cette méthode de massage que je ne connaissais pas il y a 2 ans, mais désespérée par une douleur constante dans l’épaule droite suite à une chute (ligaments et muscles détendus), je me décide à faire ma 1ère séance de Shiatsu avec Anne! Durant 1h30, elle me pose ses doigts sur toutes les parties du corps, de l’acupression dans le jargon du monde du massage, et là, je sens ma douleur stockée dans mon épaule en sortir comme en suivant une ligne à l’intérieur de mon corps, d’abord le haut du dos puis elle descend le long de la colonne vertébrale et pff…. plus rien ! La douleur était partie comme par magie! Elle m’informa que le lendemain je serais sûrement fatiguée car le shiatsu puise dans nos énergies ! Et c’était vrai, fatiguée mais tellement mieux! Anne me conseilla tout de même de revenir 2 ou 3 fois, chose que j’ai faite, afin de résorber totalement cette douleur.

Tellement contente du résultat, j’ai cherché à en savoir plus sur cette technique de massage pour laquelle, aujourd’hui, je peux dire que je suis devenue adepte! Je suis retournée plusieurs fois voir Anne pour d’autres troubles comme celui du sommeil, de la digestion, du stress ou de grande fatigue et à chaque fois, j’ai été totalement satisfaite du résultat! Anne est une personne très professionnelle, passionnée par son métier, très à l’écoute de ses patients ! Elle ne fait pas seulement son massage, mais elle entretient une vraie relation avec la personne traitée et donne beaucoup de conseils concernant le problème pour lequel on va la voir, tels que des exercices physique et/ou de détente, d’hygiène alimentaire etc…

Pour conclure, je dirais que le Shiatsu est une réelle technique de massage qui n’est pas pour moi lié uniquement à de la détente comme on se représente un massage habituellement mais un réel plus dans sa vie qui évite de nombreuses visites chez des practiciens médicaux (qui finalement ne sont pas toujours les plus compétents concernant certains cas) pour de nombreux bobos de la vie de tous les jours…

Une détente profonde et un recentrage. Une pratique étonnante qui réequilibre.

Anne brings strength and healing to her Shiatsu sessions.

Her sessions give me a feeling of energy and “wholeness” and provide an oasis of peace in a sometimes frenetic world.

It was so wonderful for me because I could feel the health in my body

I am a teacher of contemporary dance. I had Shiatsu sessions during 1 month two times per week with Anne Cousin, it was so wonderful for me because I could feel the health in my body from a deeper place within, and that touched my heart and soul. I could see the impact in my life in different ways, because something inside and outside me started to be open and with different energy in everything that I did.

One thing so special for me was when I started to feel different connections in all my body and then to understand how I am working with myself in my life. I feel that I know my body because it is my tool every day in my professional life but the Shiatsu experiences made me feel integrate, healthy, happy and loved.

My session with Anne was just what I needed.

She has a deep understanding and ability to bring healing to where it is needed. I would like her to live closer.

Anne works her magic with this modality

I have experienced Shiatsu by a number of experienced therapists but I have to say Anne works her magic with this modality. I came to Anne with hope of balancing my body and she did so much more. Her attention to detail of my needs, her caring manner added to the depth of her treatment. Not only did Anne balance my system and relieve stress, I also felt refreshed and uplifted. I wish Anne was still in America to receive regular treatment but wish her well on her journey and dreams.

Anne makes your body full of energy

I’m so glad to have a chance to talk about it. I’m a person who love yoga and as many people know that if somebody had exercised yoga for a long time, he/she is able to feel the flow of energy through his/her body. Having her massage is that you should try it because she makes your body with full of energy. After having her massage, your body might be very happy with you that you help your body to be relaxed. I do recommend her massage because it will makes your body happy moreover, you will have a great relaxation with it.

Shiatsu helped me relax and find peace

I started Shiatsu with Anne during a very stressful job change. Shiatsu helped me relax and find peace during this time. I would return to work recharged and ready to do what needed to be done. Anne is very good at working on rough spots, especially dealing with sore body parts and tension carried in shoulders and lower back. I am very glad to have experience shiatsu with Anne – I do not keep up enough with massage now, but if Anne moves back into the area, she will hear from me!

A gem for health not to be missed!

Movements for health ( Do In) are justly named as I truly felt invigorated after a session led by Anne. Anne first demonstrated the movements while giving clear explanations about each posture. Then, she helped me to perform them in a safe and effective way. I was amazed by the cross-over of Do In philosophy with modern embryological knowledge ( Somatic Movement Education). A gem for health not to be missed!

It gives me strength and more in touch with the body

I really love the somatic body workshop. It provides movement practices to free the body and releases tension. It helps me to return to my body’s natural state and I feel aligned and free. I feel gravity and also what is above, what’s more important is that I found my center.

Sessions I have had with Anne were all very transformational

Being a bodyworker, I am very selective when choosing practitioners to work on my body. The sessions I have had with Anne were all very transformational, yet gentle. After the first session, my bowel movement improved and I developed more awareness in my abdominal area – a part of my body that stored a fair bit of tension. Anne understands the subtle cues from the body and I feel she always listens to my body’s needs.

Far more relaxed at this time and more mobile

Really felt good after that session, going to the throat and eyes. Feel my shoulders far more relaxed at this time and more mobile. Interesting those massage points, will try that one. Thanks again.”

I can only highly recommend Anne, she is a blessing to the world.

Before Anne I had no experience of Somatics and Shiatsu. I did not know what to expect. I tried over the years a lot of different healing techniques and therapists but many of them left me even more imbalanced or depressed. Having a stressful job and suffering from hormonal imbalance I came with the hope to Anne to help me to cope with the stress and to balance my body. She did more than that. Anne is incredible, each of her treatments are a journey to connect with your body and soul. Anne helped me to release past traumas and beliefs, which were deeply anchored in my cells. She reconnected and showed me the incredible self-healing power of my body. Anne’s attentiveness, her caring and relaxed manner and most of all her compassion makes it easy to relax and let go of problems and open up about your fear, pain and emotions. She helped me to learn to ground myself, be present in the now and the most important lesson compassion for myself, which changed my lifestyle and perception completely. I can only highly recommend her, as she is a blessing to the world. Thank you, Anne.

You gave us structure

You gave us structure in terms of the anatomy, and then painted a picture allowing us to follow our own innate wisdom to explore our internal landscape. I really appreciated the ' props' !
I loved playing with that water filled balloon, it was very tactile, and helped me to connect with size, weight, elastic energy and liquid of my own heart.

So nurturing, nourishing and self-loving

So nurturing, nourishing and self-loving. Such good medicine. I love the chance to explore deeply the body, thanks Anne for giving me, us, an opportunity.

Anne's practice is amazing and deeply efficient

true self-healing

I have chronic back pains working in high stress banking environment, feeling nervous all the time.
I found that TRE can tackle my back pain problem relaxing very deep muscles that even a massage cannot go as deep into. Since I have practiced TRE, my normal nervous shaking is gone, I sleep better at nights and feel that my whole body is relaxed and has energy to do lots again. Most importantly, I enjoy doing TRE – It is not scary as it may look like 🙂 To me it is true self-healing.

let go of chronic pains and past resistance

Thank you Anne for teaching this powerful technique enabling to better understand the body intuitive releasing faculty to move on from past tensions and trauma. On a physical level the legs movement started easily on the first session with visible evolution in the flow of the body on the 2nd & 3rd ones, up to a full liberating body shake. I gradually felt after each session a deeper replenishment with the ability to unwind more profoundly as I familiarized with TRE

I would recommend this class to anyone in need to let go of chronic pains and past resistance!

I felt really refreshed afterwards

I was surprised how my legs started shaking ‘automatically’ during a TRE session. It helped me to release some tensions and I felt really refreshed afterwards.

I am enjoying it on a daily basis now

I found TRE is an exercise that brings the same refreshing feeling as doing regular physical exercise without any muscle pain and in an efficient way. Most importantly, it connects our body and mind together so to nurture ourselves naturally.

It felt almost magical

My experience with singing bowls felt almost magical.  The sounds and vibrations of the bowls were very soothing and uplifting. It made me feel clearer, more relaxed, at peace.

Anne is gifted, sensitive, attuned, and spiritually adept at leading her clients into a deep experience in sound healing and personal awareness. I highly recommend this ancestral Tibetan method, a very pleasing, efficient way to let go.

Universal vibration, love and well being..

These are exactly what I felt through Anne's Tibetan bowls treatment!
I 'm very grateful to Her for giving me this journey into my soul, body and heart!
The day after the session I was able to effortlessly forgive and breakthrough a conflict.
