I gave a treatment this week to a client who had never received shiatsu before. I knew her slightly; more of an acquaintance than friend and it is still a novelty to be invited into a person’s home to practise shiatsu. I should have been nervous but I was not. The space […]

I need to choose a subject for my third year project. I thought that I had this settled; arthritis. Exactly what aspect of arthritis I would choose was one thing but I felt attracted to the subject because:
Several of my existing clients have or believe they have arthritic conditions.
There is a history of […]

I cannot yet support myself by giving shiatsu treatments. It will be a long time before it is my main source of income but at the moment it provides no income at all. I have to keep a roof over my head and I have to pay my remaining course fees so while […]

While it is very exciting starting to develop practise flyers I am also finding it a frustrating process.

Now that I am back at college it is time to see how measure up to the Good intentions I made at the end of last term.
Shiatsu treatments did continue through the break. I took some time off and other times did only one treatment a week. I have not found any new clients […]
