Shiatsu Training & Courses

Why Train in Shiatsu?

Everyone starts a Shiatsu course with different aims and expectations but students and teachers agree that the result is both profound and rewarding.
There are several options for training. Courses range from one-off workshops to full 3-year Shiatsu Practitioner Diplomas.

The majority of schools offer the training over one weekend a month but all schools are independent so we recommend you contact a few near to you to see what they offer and then select the one that best suits you.

Graduates of the diploma course  are eligible to apply to join the Register of Professional Practitioners of the Shiatsu Society (RPSSI).
