Core Shiatsu Training

I studied Zen Shiatsu at the renowned London College of Shiatsu and completed a comprehensive three year Diploma course in 2020 under the tutelage of Nik Kyriacou and Veronica Howard. A deep interest in the practice, I have continued my association with the London College, currently undertaking the formal training to qualify as a Shiatsu Teacher which follows two years volunteering as a Teaching Assistant.

I have additionally completed postgraduate training courses and workshops in other Shiatsu styles and related bodywork techniques, notably:

Movement Shiatsu

With David Ventura (Spain), Ruth Patrizzi (UK) and Bill Commerford (UK) - focused on exploring a different dynamic of interaction within condition-specific treatments and somatic trauma release.

Advanced Seated Acupressure

With internationally recognised TouchPro UK - Alistair Burcher (UK) and David Palmer (USA). This skillset enables me to provide the most effective treatment where a chair format is the suitable option.

Following relocation to Yorkshire, I am pleased to offer my private practice in Leeds, providing therapy room and home treatments alongside a corporate wellbeing service. This follows six years experience in London where I have enjoyed working with a broad range of clients within home treatments, clinical practice, office environments in London financial districts and at wellbeing events.

The SSUK provides an ethical framework within which I offer my practice; you may read more about this framework here.
