OPEN EVENINGS

Meet new people, enjoy some hands-on treatment, take your first step to learn a a caring skill at an Open Evening with no commitment, no obligation, no need to book... just turn up, and perhaps find yourself on the way to a new career or a satisfying hobby. Talk to people already on the Shiatsu path and have your questions answered. WELCOME!


BASIC LEARNING Learning the Ropes - start anytime!

Learn how to move around, how to give a good shiatsu treatment, how to protect yourself from needless backpain, and from energy depletion or contamination; to develop sensitivity to your participant; learn what conditions are best left alone until you have more experience, and which ones are contra-indicated anyway. Learn the art of gentle healing. Learn something about yourself, too, and of the gift Nature has given you for this work.

What you will learn:

    The Zen approach to Shiatsu: mindfulness, care and compassion
    How to move easily into the Structures for giving Shiatsu safely
    How to move your client into the Four Positions for receiving Shiatsu
    Codes of Practice, ethics and complaints procedures
    The roles of Professional organisations and structure of the Profession
    How to protect yourself from energy depletion
    Special exercises to help you give shiatsu with ease, grace and style
    How to prepare yourself and client for treatment and the effects of treatment
    The Seven Principles of Zen Shiatsu
    How to assess your client's condition and Shiatsu needs
    What conditions to avoid (contra-indications)

and how to deliver mindful shiatsu with compassion, care and competence in the Four Positions for treatment:

    Prone
    Supine
    Side
    Seated
utilising Shiatsu techniques:
    Palm, thumb and finger pressure
    Stretch and compression
    Tonification and sedation

By the end of the Practical Certificate course you should be confident enough to give enjoyable treatments. After completing 20 practice-treatment notes (in your own time, on family, friends or fellow-students) you can take the assessment to qualify for your

Certificate in Practical Shiatsu (CPS)
