Shakti
Find your calm with precision-engineered acupressure tools.
Shakti, founded by Jon Heslop and George Lill in 2014, was inspired by a chance encounter with a modern bed of nails during a holiday in Thailand. After experiencing the benefits of acupressure, they were motivated to create a product that would help people reconnect with ancient practices. Shakti's mission is to craft high quality acupressure tools while supporting the communities in India where these traditions began.
Shakti's range of acupressure products is thoughtfully designed to support relaxation, relieve tension and restore balance. From the calming weight of a soothing eye pillow to the revitalising effects of a headband that targets pressure points around the temples, each item invites you to unwind and recharge. The iconic Shakti acupressure mat, with thousands of carefully placed spikes, helps ease muscle tightness, boost circulation and promote deeper sleep in just minutes a day.
