STUDENT EXPERIENCES OF THE COURSE.
‘Sarah’s intro to Shiatsu course has been such an incredible blend of learning new skills and nurturing my own self development. Sarah creates such a welcoming, calm, caring (and fun!) environment from which to learn and grow, I honestly felt like I’d had 10 counselling sessions after 1 of the weekends! I felt full of joy, a much deeper sense of self and focus and I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn new skills or a greater awareness of themselves. Thank you again for your knowledge, kindness and compassion.’ ( Louise )
I am staggered by the little but immense learning that was introduced over 3 weekends. ‘Little’ in the sense of everything that you offered comes from so much more – and your understanding, experience and knowledge is so very clear to see…..Your approach is wonderful – you have the ability to invite, offer, demonstrate, guide, listen and support; and hold the space. I admire and respect your ability to listen and make sense (of what is said) by placing it where it can just be. As I write I think that is about accepting (in a non-judgemental way); it is more than that – you also see what it is that needs seeing. I also love that you are so open in giving, sharing, and in so doing, settling everyone in the space – to feel safe in what they offer/contribute. The ethos (or my understanding so far) of Shiatsu oozes out of you. (Sally)
Fantastic! The course offered a brilliant insight into the world of Shiatsu leaving me feeling very hungry to find out more! Sarah crated a very safe and nurturing environment to learn in deepening a curiosity for shiatsu. (Elle Kate )
