Shiatsu Society Practitioner Registers

Our commitment to promoting and supporting the highest standards of Shiatsu practice across all communities includes rigorous checks via the various Quality Assurance systems we have in place. These ensure that all practitioners listed on our Registers are properly qualified, hold professional-level insurance for practice, and undertake annual Continuing Professional Development.

We hold two registers of practitioners. 

The Register of Professional Practitioners includes all practitioners who have completed a total of 1000 hours of study and practice. 

The listing of Bodywork for Wellbeing Practitioners includes all practitioners who have completed one year of training and practice. 

Members on this listing have completed a 1-year training course. They provide treatments that are based on the principles, philosophy and techniques of Shiatsu but are practised for wellbeing and are not aimed at treating problematic conditions. 

Their qualification may be called the Certificate in Acupressure, or Certificate in Bodywork for Wellbeing. Some of these practitioners will be continuing their training in Shiatsu to become fully qualified Shiatsu Practitioners. Others will have chosen to practise purely at the level of relaxation and wellbeing enhancement.
