The path of the Shiatsu therapist starts, and continues, with trusting the power of touch. Its roots lie in self-development, self-awareness and an understanding of self-healing in body and mind. Its heart is to be found in Chinese and Japanese medical philosophy. Throughout the course and with increasing depth, we will explore, learn and practise the art and science of touch therapy. Using aspects of meditation, visualisation, authentic communication and in-depth study, Shiatsu becomes a way of life. Qigong, Self-Shiatsu, Holistic Anatomy, lunch on the beach and swimming in the sea are also on the cards! Contact us about the Level 4 Diploma in Shiatsu course, the Bodywork for Wellbeing certificate, our Grassroots workshops or our student clinics. Our teacher training courses in Qigong and Yoga offer more options. We are in The Royal Victoria Hotel, opposite the beach! St Leonards on Sea is a great place to study with plenty of accommodation and good transport links.
