Student Testimonials

A n g e l a

"I attended Anne's workshop to learn the basics of Shiatsu and was blown away by the diverse knowledge she shared in such a short time. There is so much to Shiatsu and I certainly want to dive deeper into the understanding of the body, its energetic fields/ meridians and treating imbalances from an Eastern wisdoms perspective. I immediately incorporated some of the techniques into my massage practice and cannot wait to do the full course soon. Anne is very passionate about healing and holistic living. She is authentic and generous with her wealth of knowledge but also her lived wisdom. In my opinion a master of her craft. You would be very fortunate to learn from the best." - Angela: Therapeutic Massage Therapist (Australia)
