Shiatsu Training for Practitioners

This course, which is being offered for the third time, is for you if you are wanting to experience a greater sense of freedom, joy, and ease in your work as a shiatsu practitioner. Out of this freedom can emerge a new sensitivity and an embodied intuitive sense that allows each moment to be fresh, alive, and unique. Your shiatsu is then truly transformed.

This course is about awakening to a deeper sense of who you are and experiencing an innate freedom and aliveness within yourself and in your shiatsu. Imagine feeling fully grounded and blessed by the radiance of your essential being. Imagine that your shiatsu is not something that you are doing but something that is unfolding in presence, that you are at the same time participating in and witnessing, and for which you feel a deep sense of gratitude.

There is a profound sense of inner peace, freedom, aliveness, and love that awaits us and that emerges when we get out of our way. 

We can get caught in doing shiatsu from our ‘habitual selves’ and in that we lose the aliveness and freshness of the moment. We are unwittingly enslaved to a self, largely created out of our insecurities. Typically, on becoming aware of this, we tend then to go about trying to change that habitual self to that which we consider a better version. Imagine instead, giving that effort up, and allowing your original nature and essential self to shine through. This course is designed to support that.

So, part of this course is about your disentangling from that which appears to bind you, and it is about you dis-identifying with that which keeps you imprisoned. Thus, it is about your ultimate freedom and the love and the joy that arises out of that.

It is about you being fully embodied and authentically present in the moment. It is about being relationally alive to everything that arises and utterly in service to what seeks its birth and blossoming in both you and the receiver. It is soul work infused with our spiritual essence and the love that is at the core of who we are.

The course embodies the essence of Zen and the spirit of the Tao in a most grounded and embodied way.

This course is for you if you are ready to shed the shackles that have held you down or back and you long for a radically different way of being with yourself and the world, both in your shiatsu and in your life.

It will be for you, if you are at a threshold of change and ready for a deeper opening and hungry for something new, fresh, and vital to touch you and to free you. 

This approach is relational in the deepest sense, for not only are we in relation to the apparent other, to ourselves and the evoked space between, but also to the underlying source which is appearing as it all. To come to know that source as the essence of who you are, is a state of pure peace and quiet joy that is not dictated to by circumstance or inner states arising in consciousness yet embraces them all.

Imagine experiencing your inner sense of wholeness and the ensuing peace and happiness that reveals itself.
