Shiatsu in EssexIf you live in or near Essex in the UK, we highly recommend the Shiatsu practitioner, Alison Hosking from Well Being One - see Shiatsu in Essex for more information. We've had several Shiatsu treatments and massages from her and found them tremendously beneficial, and very energising. Alison is great with children and our 2 sons have also benefitted from both the Shiatsu massages and the advice Alison has given us. Here's some information about Alison that we've copied from her leaflet: Prior to becoming a Shiatsu practitioner I suffered terribly from a bad back and sciatica and eventually became wheel chair bound. Following surgery, Shiatsu assisted my recovery and this confirmed my interest in becoming a practitioner. I qualified with The British School of Shiatsu-Do, then became a member of the professional body, The Shiatsu Society. I am currently undertaking postgraduate study to continue in my professional development. I have always been interested in alternative therapy, massage and in helping people achieve balance and wellbeing in their lives. I have previous experience as an NLP practitioner and careers advisor. I now run a busy Shiatsu clinic in Colchester, Essex. Alison Hosking For more information, please see: |
