    MrSS

    My background is in martial arts, particularly in Southern Shaolin Five Ancestors. I am a qualified instructor in martial arts and currently teach classes in Wuji and Qi Gong. I have since dedicated myself to helping people find relaxation and supporting their healing process. This has always been a passionate interest of mine, and I knew that Zen Shiatsu would be the perfect way of doing this.

    MrSS, CNHC

    With a long standing personal interest in therapeutic practices from cultures around the world, my aim as a practitioner is to continue to deepen my knowledge around practical and philosophical approaches to Shiatsu and related bodywork. With notable further training in movement shiatsu and advanced seated acupressure, I enjoy working with a broad range of clients within clinic environments, home treatments and at wellbeing events.
