What People Think About our Courses What I have gained from Movement Shiatsu  by Henry McGrath My experience of the  Movement Shiatsu  Postgraduate Programme by Claire Best A Client’s View of Movement Shiatsu by Simon Grisdale A few reviews of courses (See More …) “Bill was my most influential teacher. In my view he has a remarkable genius and is someone who understands Chinese medicine in a fully embodied, integrated way. His work is radical, revolutionary, inspiring.” Daverick Leggett 2018 “Working with the Ming was an excellent introduction to Movement Shiatsu, it felt as though it focused around a central tenet of this way of working; approaching problems as life’s lessons alongside other fundamentals such as the importance of the practitioner’s approach being one of being and not doing and approaching therapy or change from the inside out in a playful, exploratory way. The course was a wonderful combination of experiencing the physical, the practical in inner qi gong, voicework, touch, and  receiving spoken teaching about the area we were exploring. I came away with lots to think about personally and professionally and very useful simple techniques I can integrate into my practice straight away as well as being aware of so much more to learn. As someone who had not received movement shiatsu before, this also felt life changing. I plan to do more courses with you, Thank you to Bill, Teresa and everyone there. The teaching was excellent, I love it when a person, is such a master of their area that when they speak it sounds incredibly simple and yet there is so much packed in to what they are saying. I also liked the combination of theory and practice, that really helps me to learn and understand. I also learnt much from Bill’s way of being – really living and being what he teaches and has learnt, in many, many ways. The approach feels like a missing piece for me, drawing on principles I have held dear in group work and community work, some with disabled people and taking it into bodywork, which is part of what I offer as an insight herbalist. I have been aware and wanting to come for several years, it was worth the wait!”  Hettie Peplow – Insight Herbalist, Community Worker (UK) “The ‘Six forms of Touch’ course with Bill and Teresa was a wonderful experience for me, extending my awareness on how different forms of touch can support a more equal and exploratory relationship between me and my clients. I particularly enjoyed the self-development aspect of the course and discovering how my own body responds when touched and held in different ways. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to further explore their own self and touch development.” Svenja Schaper  “Six Forms of Touch, is a clear and profound introduction to working to support a strong mindbody connection. I would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in deepening their practice. Thank you.”. Karen Livesey “I would highly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in bodywork and / or self development. A unique, in depth, yet accessible approach which I would love to explore further.” Phil Darcy “It’s a friendly space and group where I felt totally welcome and valued amongst experts in their field, despite being very inexperienced. The exercises and body work can be challenging or deeply relaxing but always insightful. I particularly enjoy the way that esoteric ideas are presented, demonstrated and worked through in such an accessible, fun way”. Doug Edwardes-Ker
