Testimonials
“I would like to thank the three of you for holding a space that lets everyone find what they are looking for and let that all be unique to each of us. That was one wonderful and special retreat you co-created” SB
“I really enjoyed being with other shiatsu practitioners with differentexperiences … the openness and sense of inclusivity. I very much liked the insights into the 3 different practitioners’ approaches and having a theme that they oriented to” SS
“It definitely exceeded my expectations !
The variety and degree of thought that went into the presentations from the teachers was excellent. The participation and support of all the attendees was also extremely valuable.
I hope we are able to all come together for a similar retreat next year. I am certainly feeling inspired and supported by this weekend to try and relaunch my shiatsu practice, which is what I was hoping for” AH
