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!


SHIATSU COURSE PLANNING

Anyone setting out on a learning path has to consider their resources of time and money. Its a good idea to think about your preferences, too.

Ask yourself:

  • Are you a person who likes learning by total immersion? or steady absorption?
  • Do you want to jump-start your training with an Intensive, or soak it up gently by the month or the week?
  • For your further training, have you the time and capacity to fast-track, combining courses, or will you steadily forge ahead, step by step?
