I graduated from the Devon School of Shiatsu in 2008, I studied Reiki during that time and since have also trained in aspects of Shamanic Assemblage point work. I have spent my time as a practitioner studying around trauma, stress and mental health as I had a Chronic stress disorder from childhood that Shiatsu, Reiki and Assemblage point work all helped in part to heal. At the moment i am studying Daoist Neigong with the Lotus School run by Damo Mitchell which I am finding is blending together all my modalities into one cohesive practice.
I have worked with the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust at Treliske for over 4 years within their Critical Care department offering Shiatsu to staff and patients to good success, so much so we are collecting data to build a study seeing how Shiatsu can benefit Critically ill patients. The CQC also mentioned the work in 2018 report, stating that Shiatsu came within one of the outstanding parts of the units functions.
