Japanese Acupressure Certificate
__________________________________________________________
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.
This fantastic course gives you a solid grounding in Shiatsu bodywork and a more extensive introduction to the theories of Chinese medicine including Yin/Yang and the 5 elements including the foods, the flavours, the seasons, the emotions that nourish and heal each organ in the body.
Using the techniques of Shiatsu we cover the principles of pressure, how to sense and interpret your clients energy, how to develop your own awareness to Qi (energy) and learn to enhance its movement within the body, clearing blockages and strengthening vitality and life flow in yourself and for others.
