3 year Shiatsu Therapy Diploma

  • TBA
  • Cork School of Shiatsu

Follows on from the 1 year Bodywork Certificate

Although part time, these 1 and 3 Year courses require commitment, focus, time and energy. Study and practice are essential for completion of the course.

People learn shiatsu for many different reasons, not all want to practice professionally. Some come to expand their self awareness and understanding of the fundamental workings of the body-mind. Many are transformed in the process. The experiential nature of the course nurtures sensitivity and skill with body mechanics, (eg. stretching, rotating etc), and Qi, that basic life force that animates the potential within. Practice, both supervised and at home, challenges and integrates the learning, thus building confidence and humility essential for clinical application.

FaceLift Bodywork Certificate (ESS)

Tutor: Pete Woodcraft

Venue: Wholistic House of Healing, 4 Buttermilk Walk, Galway City.

Price: €280 or €250 if paid in full before 31 January 2012

Face-Lift Bodywork is a gentle and effective technique that rejuvenates your face and offers deep relaxation to both mind and body. It consists of a variety of techniques including muscle release, connective tissue release, vibrational techniques and oil massage that focus on the patterns of stress and tension locked up in the face. It is incredibly effective, with clearly observable results apparent after the first session. It is almost certainly one of the most effective facial rejuvenation systems there is - all achieved purely through bodywork, without the use of injections, lasers, machinery or surgery.

This 3-day certificate course is for those who already have a certificate in massage or beauty therapy, if those certificates include a basic anatomy and physiology qualification. This course is also open to Shiatsu practitioners and Shiatsu students on Stage Two or beyond of our Shiatsu Bodywork & Shiatsu Therapy courses. Advanced courses are also available.
