Hello

My journey to becoming a Shiatsu & Holistic Acupressure practitioner began at an early age.  As the daughter of a physiotherapist, I have long had a keen interest in the connection between body awareness with health and well-being. My personal and professional engagement with body-mind awareness work began in 2003 through professional theatre training in acting, that then lead on to a gradual awakening to the interconnection between our bodily well-being, and well-being of the natural world.

​

I discovered shiatsu through practising Qigong in my local community garden with a teacher from the Shiatsu College Manchester.

Through my holistic acupressure and shiatsu training I have not only discovered an incredible toolbox of techniques to support both my own and others health and well-being, but also joined a beautiful community of people committed to supporting others through this ancient form of bodywork.

​

I love sharing the skills I have learnt and continue to learn, and am passionate about empowering others to increase their body-mind awareness to support and maintain their own health and well-being. I thoroughly enjoy doing this not only through my one to one sessions, but also through running Grassroots Shiatsu sessions where people can learn the skills to support themselves and their friends and families.

Through creating connective spaces where we can connect deeply with a focus on body-mind awareness I believe we can foster deeper more compassionate interconnections with the wider world – benefiting our relationships with ourselves, each other and the natural world.

​

I am a fully qualified professional Shiatsu & Qigong Practitioner, having completed my 3 years of studies with the Shiatsu College (The Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma course is unique in the UK in being nationally accredited with Laser Learning Awards, as well as being fully ratified by the Shiatsu Society (UK)) and hold a Nationally accredited Level 3 professional qualification in Holistic Acupressure. I am a graduate of the Shiatsu College Qigong Teacher Training course, under the lineage of Sifu Wing Cheung.  I am currently also under a years mentorship with Mimi Kuo-Deemer.

I have also completed various online CPD shiatsu courses with New Energy Work and have a "Samurai-Programme - Shiatsu for children in schools and community settings" Training Certificate.

I am fully insured with Balens; am a member of the Shiatsu Society (UK) and adhere to their codes of practice.
