Shiatsu


Part of 200 hour Massage Therapy Course

More than just “finger pressure,” shiatsu  means relationship.  Having hands, we reach out to receive and extend ourselves in our work.  Being heavy, we need something to lean on.  Mother Earth lends us her body for support.  Then, rested and strong, we can offer our hand in help.

In this class we will explore and learn not only shiatsu massage techniques, but body meridians and “tsubos,” or pressure points - there are 365 classical points in the body. Again it’s not necessary to remember all 365 tsubos to help yourself or others.   However, you will learn many very helpful points to better your health and all those you will work on.
