I am a fellow of the Shiatsu Society and one of its two Co-Chairs. I qualified as a Shiatsu practitioner in 1999 after studying at the Bristol School.  Before then I was a student of South Wales Yogi, Phillip Jones, "Jones the Breath," who specialised in pranayama, mindfulness and meditation as well as Hatha Yoga.  I studied at post graduate level with Keith Phillips, Nicola Pooley (Ley); Bill Palmer and Gabrielle Poli. I also completed Pamela Hannay's equine shiatsu training and was external assessor at Equine Shiatsu schools in West Sussex, Dundee and Croatia.

A teacher and principal of Londn College of Shiatsu since 1995. Studied Shiatsu and Acupuncture in London, New York and for five years in Japan.

Alice started her interest in Shiatsu in 1985 and began training in 1990 with Sonia Moriceau, then the Shiatsu College, London 1991-1994, becoming a Member of the Register of the Shiatsu Society (UK) in 1995. While training as a Shiatsu teacher in 1997, she met Kishi Akinobu (1949-2012), a master of Shiatsu who had changed the name of his work to Sei-ki Soho in recognition of the diversion of his approach from that of his teachers. From this point on, Alice worked only with Kishi, co-authoring a book with him: Sei-ki: Life in Resonance, the Secret Art of Shiatsu 2011 Singing Dragon. She has been offering workshops in Sei-ki for over 20 years, see Surrenderwork for events internationally. She was Chair of the Shiatsu Society (UK) 2016-18. Additionally, Alice has been involved in the work of Charles Berner and Lawrence Noyes also from 1985 and trained in Clearing with Noyes. She wrote the key book about Clearing: Mind Clearing: the key to mindfulness mastery 2016, Jessica Kingsley. She runs a training and has a practice in London and online. During all this time, Alice has had a parallel career in academia. Completing her PhD in Feminist Philosophy in 1995, she has taught in the Arts and Humanities for the Open University since 1998 and was a Faculty Manager, then Senior Faculty Manager in Arts in London 2004-2014. She became a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2014.

I started my Shiatsu studies in 1980 when a university student.  Then receiving Shiatsu helped me recover from a serious illness and then set me on course to train as a therapist myself.  I studied in Japan and Australia and then with Sonia Moriceau and Healing Shiatsu in the UK.  I set up as a practitioner in 1988.  I subsequently became a Shiatsu teacher in 1998 and have been practising and teaching ever since.   Over the years, I have added an understanding of Western Anatomy and Physiology to my orthodox Shiatsu training and so provide a bridge between the Eastern and Western approaches to the body.  My approach is to involve the client as much as possible in his/her own healing, to help him/her to understand what is going on and what he/she can do, alongside what I do, to help themselves.  This empowers and gives confidence in how they can be more proactive in their healing.  I find this way of working more effective and more long-lasting in its results. I am happy to work with any conditions, any age and anyone who needs help in any way - whether with their physical or emotional self. I also teach regular Inner Qigong classes in Frome.

Adam Hellinger has been a member of the Shiatsu Society since August 1994. Ive been fortunate to practice, study, mentor and teach Shiatsu since 1992. My main focus is linking awareness and presence into touch and connection.

Based in Chagford, on Dartmoor in Devon, I am a Shiatsu Practitioner and Shadow Work Coach and Group Facilitator and have been a member of the Shiatsu Society since 2005. I specialise in supporting people through times of big transition, such as bereavement, relationship breakdown, career changes and menopause. Major transitions in life can sometimes seem to knock us off our path, leaving us feeling lost or just 'not quite ourselves'. I believe that, with the right support, times of transition can be embraced as 'rites of passage'; an opportunity to be 're-born' with a deeper understanding of ourselves and a new sense of purpose, passion and appetite for life. I gained my Diploma in Shiatsu after completing the 3-year training with the Bristol School of Shiatsu, one of the longest established Shiatsu schools in the UK. I have also completed post-graduate study with the school, and was a teaching assistant with the school for many years. My experience includes working as a shiatsu practitioner for charities Naomi House, a mother and baby home for women with a history of street sex work; and the Rosie Crane Trust for bereaved parents. I work with clients in person and online, and would be honoured to work with you if you feel called to take the next step on your healing journey. I offer a free half hour no-obligation consultation bookable via my website www.melanieward.co.uk
