Shiatsu Society Registered Teachers

The Shiatsu Society has developed a system for approving teachers, who are given the right to put MRSS(T) after their name.  The ‘T’ means they are are fully registered Shiatsu teacher with the society.  Registered teachers are Shiatsu practitioners with at least four years experience.

There are Guidelines for anyone wishing to become a teacher. This involves first registering as a trainee teacher (MRSS(t)) - a ‘little t’ in the Shiatsu jargon.  As part of this process they need to find two people to act as supervisors, at least one of whom must be an MRSS(T) - Shiatsu Society Registered Teacher.

Trainee teachers must assist with Shiatsu teaching for a certain number of hours, observe teachers, and teach under the guidance of a supervisor.  Trainee teachers then put together a portfolio of their teaching experience that is read by a panel of Shiatsu Society Teacher Trainers who have been registered teachers for at least five years.
