Zen Shiatsu and Wellbeing

Adrian is extremely knowledgeable, professional and insightful. He tailors the treatment to your needs, and shares with you afterwards what he thinks might be the cause of your problems. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of getting Shiatsu massages from Adrian while I was pregnant. Shiatsu is very holistic and it was a support to my pregnancy journey mentally, emotionally and physically. Adrian is very intuitive in being able to diagnose what the body requires and where. At some point baby was breech and he helped to turn the baby around with moxabustion. Since it was at the later stage of my pregnancy and being as mobile was difficult he was kind enough to show me how to do it on my own as well.He doesn’t leave you hanging between sessions, he does regular follow ups and is kind enough to accommodate you between sessions as well if you’re struggling too much. He’s also been wonderful sharing details of other therapists that I’ve needed that are out of his range of expertise. Overall he’s been a truly nurturing presence and I couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you Adrian for helping me stay aligned through this pregnancy.

Adrian COX ShiatsuI’ve suffered from pain in the back of my knee since a car accident in 2016, they call it baker cyst. It causes flare-ups and instability.Gradually it got worse and started causing aches in the lower back and hip, due to the imbalance.I recently discovered Adrian at Vitruvian wellness, in belsize Park and had a few sessions with him.Shiatsu is very good to balance the mind and body and spirit.Adrian Is a very sensitive practitioner and works like a detective to find the culprit in the body.The treatment is very relaxing and mostly done on a futon on the floorAfter the first session I noticed an improvement in walking and using stairs. I also seemed to be taller.and felt more relaxed and focused.I had several sessions with him weekly and felt a lot better.I highly recommend

I have just gone through my cancer treatment and find Adrian's massage sessions a lifesaver. It is very hard to process a crisis like that on the fly. To let go during a crisis is even more necessary but much harder to do due to fear. It is important to be able to give yourself the support you need in order to heal. Adrian provides a holistic approach that does not separate the body from the rest of the person. To make a broader, philosophical point about healing, I believe that to be whole we need to connect to the deepest, truest part of ourselves, from which we can receive and perceive, but also let go and heal. This requires reconciliation with the idea of surrender and acceptance. It is more like surfing than pushing a rock up a mountain. We need to reconnect with something we have forgotten, our inner stillness from which we can sense the pulse of life, its constant presence.It is important to be able to give yourself the support you need in order to heal. Adrian provides a holistic approach which has been working for me very well. Even my sleep improved.

eased and relieved" - spur-of-the-moment

Adrian is a very experienced, gentle and full of empathy practitioner. After just one session he released a lot of tensions in my body. I highly recommend. I will be coming back for sure.

I've had three massage sessions with Adrian and enjoyed them thoroughly. His professionalism, massaging skills and friendliness are immediately obvious. As is his ability to hold a safe and warm interpersonal space, which for me is key to letting go and relaxing.I am still mystified by the pressure points that can alleviate pain when engaged, as it was my experience during the last session during which pain sensation in my tummy disappeared. Just to mention a few other outcomes: my back pain and mental fatigue have also improved. All that motivates me to consider studying Shiatsu Massage.

A friend of mine gifted me Shiatsu sessions with Adrian, which were very much needed, well timed and received. Adrian's presence is very attuned, calm and grounded. He is very knowledgeable and intuitive. He helped to bring me from 1000 miles per hour to standstill, supporting my body to relax and melt. Treatments have been tremendous support during the intensive period for me and I am grateful to both my friend for recommending Adrian, to him and having someone to go to when my being needs it. Thank you Adrian!

A friend highly recommended Adrian. I went to see him with shoulder pain. To my surprise after just one session I was able to sleep through the night. Adrian is very flexible as far as securing a slot with him is concerned. He is very accommodating with last minute bookings as well as booking far ahead. He offers incredible focus in his approach to finding out the underlying cause of the problem and applying the appropriate treatment. it feels great to be attended to in such a caring, holistic and skillful manner. Highly Recommended!

Nothing compares to Shiatsu, particularly when administered by a master practitioner like Adrian. He has a unique way of detecting the root cause of the problem and as one's energy patterns change between treatments, Adrian navigates arround the person's presenting needs, making each session as effective and pleasurable as the one before.Thank you Adrian for helping me with my lethargy and my back pain.
