Conscious Conversations

Welcome to the Conscious Conversations series!

This is the space where we get together with some familiar faces from the Shiatsu community to find out more about their journeys with Shiatsu, and to hear stories from behind the scenes and acquire nuggets of wisdom.

We have a new guest each month, and Shiatsu Society members can access the live conversations for a chance to ask questions, share the space and interact with our guests. The recording of each episode is available on our YouTube channel.
