Why Real Connection Matters More Than Ever

This is a quiet, honest talk about connection.

Most of the time on this channel you see my hands working, not me talking.
Today felt different.

I’m sat in my home office, filming on my phone, with my dog Harry beside me — and I wanted to speak openly about something that’s been on my mind a lot lately: how disconnected we’re becoming in a world driven by technology and AI.

AI can create perfect videos.
Perfect lighting.
Perfect bodies.
Perfect sound.

But it can’t recreate real human connection — the feeling that comes from presence, touch, breath, energy, and genuine care.

In this video I talk about:

Why connection is the most important part of therapy

How I connect with clients before a session even begins

Simple practices anyone can use to deepen connection

Working blindfolded to improve quality of touch

Loving clients in a healthy, human, platonic way

Connecting with friends, family, partners, and nature

Why slowing down changes everything

You don’t need to be a therapist to connect.
You just need to be present.

If this video resonates with you, I’d love to hear:

What helps you feel connected?

Or, if you’re a therapist, what helps you connect with your clients?

Let me know in the comments.

I’ll be making more videos like this — slower, more personal, more human — and your support means more than you know.

Thanks for being here.

Hey all I'm Shane known locally as shiatsu shane, a shiatsu and massage therapist practising out of a small village called in Dinnington in South Yorkshire, England. I'm a fully qualified and trained massage therapist that specialises in shiatsu! however over the years I’ve combined shiatsu along with other modalities such as Thai Massage, Fascial Release, Sports Massage to name just a few to create my own unique style of massage that sometimes I refer to as sports Shiatsu. I began training over 20 years ago at Bradford university were I learned various forms of massage and was introduced to shiatsu however after university I got a normal job working in a shop but something always kept pulling me back and in 2008 I began training again with the northern school of shiatsu, after 3 years training I registered with the Shiatsu Society and set up my own clinic and have since continued to learn all I can about the human body, energy and spirit in order to improve my own skills and help heal more people each year I see hundreds of clients from all over the country. In 2019 I discovered ASMR and found it was a way I can reach and connect with more people and thus help more people and have fun while doing it and the channel has been growing ever since... thank you to all those who continue to support the channel
