Our aims are:

To provide courses that are interesting, challenging, educational, rewarding and fun.
To produce graduates whose professional work is of the highest standard.
To bring comforted and care to people without intrusion.
To bring awareness to students of the natural healing body
To provide support for students, on their individual needs, on any issue whether it is administration or teaching related.
That all courses (except introductory courses) are taught by at least two teachers to bring a variety of style and input.
I had been working as a Beauty Therapist for about 8 years when I decided that I wanted to learn something new that would complement my work. I loved what I did, but at the time I worked in a busy Spa and sometimes it was like working on a conveyer belt. Massage one body, send them out and get the next one in! I heard about the Shiatsu College through a friend and decided to give it a go. It was so different from anything I had done before. It was all about mindfulness. How you are feeling, what you are feeling from the recipient. Slow down, don’t think about your next client or running on time or that you have to go to laundry or what are you going to make for dinner! What is happing under your hands right now. It is such a lovely way to work. We are taught the importance of meditation and self-analysis to help us achieve this awareness during the treatment. And in turn I have found that you can’t help but let it spill into your own life. The greatest lesson I have taken from the college is that not only is Shiatsu a lovely way to work but a lovely way to live!
