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. 

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)
