My History:
Ever since I was young I was always fascinated by the idea of hands-on healing and loved to read stories of people who had the gift of healing.
In the mid 80's my father became very ill and I remember a priest, who was known for his healing gift, coming to see him. He prayed with him and laid his hands on him and although his physical condition did not improve I was inspired by how more accepting of his situation my father became.
Around this time I began studying yoga and meditation and was amazed at the personal benefits they had. Then I discovered Shiatsu.
I began night classes in Belfast, moved to London to learn more and in 1990 after a period of formal training I graduated from the School of Shiatsu and Natural Healing, Co. Kerry.
This wonderful course also introduced me to other methods of healing such as macrobiotic nutrition, 'do-in' self massage, 'Makka-ho' meridian exercises, 'Sotai' corrective exercises, Bach Flower Remedies, Moxabustion and herbal remedies.
In 1992 I completed a postgraduate course with the Shiatsu College in Norwich. I also qualified in massage at the Lifespring School, Belfast in 1992 and continue to find massage of great benefit in my practice today.
Over the past 25 years I have always sought to develop my practice and knowledge and have attended workshops with well known teachers such as the late Pauline Sasaki, Clifford Andrews, Rex Lassalle, Wataru Ohashi and Paul Lundberg.
As part of my own self development and health maintenance I regularly use self Shiatsu, meridian exercises, and meditation, in addition to following a plant based diet.
In 1990 I began teaching courses and workshops for beginners in Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland, and since then I have introduced many hundreds of students to the power of Shiatsu.
In 2000 I started training to become a Shiatsu teacher at the Irish School of Shiatsu, graduating in 2003. This diploma qualifies me to teach students to the professional practitioner level.
In 2004 I began teaching the first professional Shiatsu course for practitioners in Northern Ireland and in 2007 the initial group of students graduated successfully. A second course started in 2009 with the students graduating in 2012.
I have served a number of terms on the committee of the Shiatsu Society of Ireland both as chairperson, secretary and editor of the Society newsletter.
