True Nature Shiatsu

Why Shiatsu?

I found shiatsu 20 years ago now, and it was a moment of things making sense.

Since then I have had the privilege to work with many people, from many backgrounds, each individual and each on their own path.

I have been very lucky to work with ‘The Shiatsu College’ for many years now. After graduating I went and worked as a combination of a graphic designer and therapist, then returned to the college as a teaching assistant and then working as part of the wonderful team of three of us running the “Shiatsu College London’ for a few years. I stepped down from that last September with a view of moving my energy nearer to where I live.

True Nature Shiatsu is now starting up with my move to the Cotswolds and I can’t wait to start working with people in my new community.

Shiatsu is special in that it can be great just for relaxation and really great for physical ailments, but can also work with an individual on mental and emotional levels as well. So often things manifest in a way to bring our attention to something, but that may well not be in the way we expect. Reminding the body what it may be like to be in balance can start healing in a gentle way.
