Practices shiatsu in Portsmouth and teaches Beginners Shiatsu Community Courses

I am practising in the Portsmouth and South-East Hants area and also teach Beginner's Shiatsu and Shiatsu in the Community Courses in conjunction with Portsmouth City Council and the E.U.'s Global Fund.

My shiatsu story began around 1997 when I became ill with what was subsequently diagnosed as ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Shiatsu, along with my own approach to life change and positive health and wellbeing practises, helped me to recover and in 1999 I began year one of the Shiatsu course at the Devon School of Shiatsu, really to continue to help myself to recovery. I never expected to even complete the first term, so was very surprised and pleased that my health recovered enough to allow me to complete the practitioner training.

I qualified in shiatsu at the Devon School of Shiatsu in 2001, gaining my MRSS status from the Shiatsu Society in 2003 and am now a trainee teacher registered with the society.

I love working as a shiatsu practitioner - I have a passion for sharing it with clients and students, many of whom are low income members of the community for whom shiatsu is a real life line and an empowering tool for self-help. Perhaps best of all, it keeps me fit and well too!
