about
Tamsin
I
am a qualified teacher and practitioner and a fully-insured Member of
the Register of the Shiatsu Society (MRSS T). I graduated from
the Glasgow School of Shiatsu in
1992 having studied the Zen Shiatsu (Masunaga) style, including
Five Element (Chinese Medicine) theory, anatomy, pathology and
counselling
skills, plus related exercises and diet.
Since
then I have continued to further my studies, concentrating recently
on Shiatsu during pregnancy and with babies and children (working
with Suzanne Yates and Peter Walker); and Shiatsu as part of cancer
care.
I have
practised Shiatsu in various settings, notably Scottish Widows (two
and a half years), The Scottish Office, and Body Positive (supporting
those who are HIV positive or who have AIDS, and their relatives).
Teaching
experience includes weekly adult beginners classes and weekend courses
for The City of Edinburgh Council; independently-run one-day starter
workshops; five-week courses of Baby Shiatsu for parents of new-born
babies; and a series of Baby Massage/Shiatsu training seminars for
Health Visitors for Fife Health Board throughout the principality.
I have also pioneered parent-child Shiatsu workshops in which adults
and older children are taught effective techniques for giving Shiatsu
to each other. This has received some media attention.
In
2000 I started The Shiatsu School, Edinburgh with two colleagues,
Audicia Morley and Cynthia Shuken. We offer one- and two-year courses
for both personal development and Shiatsu Practitioner Training
(the venue for the third year is to be confirmed). We are associated
with The Glasgow School of Shiatsu. The course is open to those
who have some experience of Shiatsu although it is possible to join
the course in other circumstances if agreed with the tutors.
