The Devon School Of Shiatsu
Offer a unique training, teaching healing on all four levels of a human being, the physical and energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual. We primarily contact and work with the ‘Ki’ or energy flow within a person using our hands, which then affects the physical body and its functioning, the emotions, mind, and often the spiritual core of the person. This makes shiatsu a very flexible form of healing, able to help people on many levels.
