Happy to announce our upcoming Non-Residential Foundation Course in September 2024

Foundation Level

This is a comprehensive beginner’s course over four days that offers a full body routine to students with no previous experience. It can also offer massage therapists new techniques to enrich their existing practice.

What you will learn
This fantastic Shiatsu Foundation course is designed to give you a solid grounding in Shiatsu bodywork and a more extensive introduction to the theories of Chinese medicine.

You will develop your own awareness to Qi (energy) and learn to enhance its movement within the body, clearing blockages, strengthening vitality and life flow with daily Qi Gong practice.

You will begin to understand how your body works and what it is saying to you.

Learning powerful acupressure points you will be able to balance your body and live in attunement with the natural rhythms of nature and life.

You can then share this gift by giving safe and effective shiatsu to friends and family and integrate these new and powerful techniques into an already existing massage practice.

Upon completion you will receive a certificate and the foundation qualification required to enter professional Shiatsu Studies which is recognised across Europe.

Happy to announce our upcoming Japanese Acupressure Certificate Course in January 2024

This is a stand-alone Certificate course in Japanese Acupressure. It allows you to charge for your practice to the general public and is the first stage of a three year programme that will allow you to become a fully qualified Shiatsu Practitioner.

Many people simply complete the course for their own health benefit and interest.

If you are already a complementary therapist this course will deepen your understanding of the body and how to treat clients from the ancient Chinese Medicine perspective.

FOUNDATION RESIDENTIAL RETREAT

Our recent 4 day residential retreat was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended.

Comfortably accommodated and mindfully nourished all set in the stunningly beautiful West Cork on the #WildAtlanticWay.

We covered:

  • Qi gong, 18 stances of Taichi qigong shibashi, outside in nature with panoramic views
  • Self massage of Do-in and the Makko ho stretches
  • Basic Chinese medicine theory of yin yang and the 5 elements and the practical application through
  • 5 element cookery classes, around the kitchen table.
  • Shiatsu principles and its application in 4 different positions, face down, face up, side and sitting
  • Meditation, using the healing sounds

After the 4 immersive days participants left with not only a Shiatsu Foundation Qualification, but a renewed connection with themselves, others and nature; an array of tools, methods and acupoints to enhance their physical and emotional wellbeing as well as the confidence to make fantastic food that meets their individual needs.

The connection and fun within the group was fantastic.

The teachers were excellent and I think having the mix of the four teachers helped hold the group and get the jobs done.

I enjoyed the food & the shiatsu, and thought that these elements were taught really well.

It was an excellent Foundation course, that has helped bring a new love for food and understanding about the 5 elements. Chinese living all the way!
