Seven years ago I discovered someone practicing shiatsu on horses and felt that I needed to know more about it, so I started a course at the British School of Shiatsu-Do in Colchester and became hooked – I now have a very hard earned diploma, following over 3 years of studies, 500 hours of tuition and approximately 250 supervised practice treatments.  I now run my own business based at home in Boxted and at the Bodyworks Clinic in Wakes Colne.  I combine my love of horses and shiatsu by helping riders gain better balance and understanding of their horses.

Over the past year I have actively been promoting shiatsu in the North Essex and Suffolk area by joining an group of shiatsu practitioners called SANESA (Suffolk and North Essex Shiatsu Association).  Within this group a number of us have pulled together resources to form a marketing group called Shiatsu Network.  We run workshops for other practitioners and have trade-stands at a number of shows an exhibitions.  For further information about this group take a look at www.shiatsunetwork.co.uk .

I am registered and insured with The Shiatsu Society as an MRSS (Member of the Register of Shiatsu Society practitioners).  More information about The Shiatsu Society and tne new regulations coming in for complementary therapies can be found on their website: www.shiatsu.org
