I have been a member of the Shiatsu Society since December 1996. My introduction to Shiatsu was whilst I was studying for my final Chartered Accountancy exams (a lifetime ago!). I was experiencing some of the classic symptoms of stress - insomnia, anxiety, muscular tensions and an inability to focus coupled with feeling down a lot of the time. I knew I had to regain some balance in my life. My search led me to Shiatsu. When I came for my first treatment, it was immediately obvious that this was more than just a relaxing massage, but a treatment that had begun to address my personal health and sense of wellbeing on a profound level. That experience set me on a path very different to the one I had started on. The more I discovered about Shiatsu, the more the idea of becoming a Shiatsu Practitioner resonated. It felt like I was coming home. In over 26 years of experience as a Shiatsu Practitioner, I continue to be passionate about being able to help others experience positive change within their lives. I have given Shiatsu in a variety of settings including Greenwich Natural Health Centre, Immune Development Trust, Active Birth Centre, The Treasury, Corporate events, Pamper Evenings and school events. I have a Diploma (Part I/II/III) in 'Shiatsu for Maternity' and am also a Hypnobirthing Teacher.
