What are the benefits? Your receiver feels better following a treatment: what more could you want? With experience you can help relieve symptoms of stress-induced and other common ailments such as head- neck- or back-ache, insomnia, constipation, menstrual pain and many chronic conditions resistant to orthodox treatment. What you can expect to be known best for is generating in your partner a most wonderful sense of well-being. This feeling reflects in you.

Why Zen Shiatsu? Shiatsu styles range from the mechanical to the mystical. A gentle, non-invasive yet powerful therapy, Zen Shiatsu emphasises work on the whole being, the importance of intention and projection of your loving-kindness, development of your sensitivity from the very beginning, and helping your receiver access their own special self-healing power.

Why choose the Zen School? We have a friendly attitude and treat you as a unique and individual member of our Shiatsu family; the study-groups are small, with experienced professional tutors; learning is based on the ideas of Zen Shiatsu Master Takeo Suzuki and the Taoist Master Mantak Chia.
