In addition to his former training, Julien qualified from a 2-year postgraduate diploma

The Granary Therapy Centre on the right
As well as practising Shiatsu, Julien has an established Gestalt Psychotherapy
practise in Galway. Other modalities he practices include Remedial Pilates. Julien
works on a one to one basis, teaches Shiatsu for Dublin Shiatsu College, and he
facilitates Personal Development therapy groups for the Gestalt Institute of Ireland.
In his Shiatsu clinic Julien works with symptoms ranging from structural problems
such as poor posture, muscular pain, back-neck-shoulder tightness, and also
pathologies of the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous and reproductive
systems.
Julien continues to deepen his work and understanding of the movement of Chi in
the interconnectedness that exists in the holistic spheres between body
(physical/emotional), mind, and spirit/environment. He also works with Shiatsu and
body-oriented work to address mental health and psychopathologies such as
depression and anxiety. He welcomes to his clinic people who are suffering from
physical and emotional issues related to trauma.
Julien’s short synopsis of the Essence of Zen Shiatsu
Touch is at the core of any human relationship from infanthood onwards. Julien’s
interests in the wellbeing of the person inclusive of their psychology, has led his
efforts in both his practice and research of Zen Shiatsu to explore touch in its
intention to reach into another, respectfully, and inclusive of the person as a whole.
In Julien’s observations of our Irish and European society in the 21 st century, he
perceives that more people are now giving importance and value to the respect and
equality of their human rights. In his views, the fundamental principles of Zen
Shiatsu, its holistic approach and therapeutic ethos are grounded in these values.
To Julien, an important aspect of Zen Shiatsu is about making contact with another,
a way to communicate non-verbally and through a touch that says I see you with my
heart and with my hara (intuition centre) with empathy and without judgment. He
sees the work with his clients as a collaboration from which physical and emotional
healing can happen and changes be integrated.

“Energy creates structure” is a fundamental fact recognised by science. Energy in its essence supports, holds, contains, travels, feeds, moves, transforms, creates, grows, communicates.

I used to wonder what was the point of having a Shiatsu Society. We can operate as a qualified practitioner without it. Currently there is little if any regulation for non-conventional therapies in today’s society. Also insurance availability is not dependant on being a Society member. It was a few years ago that the relevance of the Society to the integrity and professionalism of our practice made itself known. It was brought to the Society’s attention that a hairdressing/beauty salon in Dublin was offering Shiatsu as part of their ‘treatment’. The person offering it was not professionally qualified having done just a basic Shiatsu course and had no professional insurance indemnity associated with his/her Shiatsu practice. I assume that it was the Salon’s insurance that was in place to cover this. The Society contacted the salon concerned and Shiatsu was removed from their advertising. If the person had been allowed to offer Shiatsu at that level, it would have opened the door for other salons to do the same thing and would have really hurt the integrity and professionalism of Shiatsu. I wonder if salons are aware that their insurance may be nullified if they take on people who are not qualified in the area that they are working in. Apparently this is not the first and won’t be the last time this happens. This is where the Society is required to protect the integrity of our practice to the on-street outlets and the general public and also to ensure that only properly qualified practitioners can be let loose on the populace. Currently, as I mentioned earlier, there is little if any regulation for the training and standards of the non-conventional practitioner and, theoretically, someone with a basic skills workshop under their belt could set themselves up as a Shiatsu Practitioner – mind you they probably would not be able to get their own insurance in place but this is rarely questioned by the client/receiver. This is only one point of having a dedicated Shiatsu Society to cover our backs (as it were). If the Society were to cease to function and we moved to a different Society with little if any knowledge of Shiatsu, would that work? they may not have the knowledge required to monitor our practice. So take a few minutes to email and request your renewal form at shiatsucommitteeireland@gmail.com or download the form directly Download SSI Membership form Membership application form. Balens has a Shiatsu Group Practice scheme with a reduced rate so in effect it costs you nothing to make sure that the Shiatsu Society exists for all our benefit.
