Did you know that in the last 3 months we have helped more than 100 people experience Shiatsu for the first time?

This is a significant milestone because our goal is to inspire people to Get in Touch with Shiatsu while trusting in the power of this wonderful practice.

We know that once you try it for yourself, there’s no looking back.

Here’s what one of the clients had to say about their experience!

A wonderful weekend of learning with Leisa Bellmore, Shiatsu Therapist who showed us Namikoshi Shiatsu techniques for the effective treatment of migraine and supporting vulnerable patients. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and for your clarity of instruction, Leisa. It was great to meet you in person 🫶.

Thank you, Elaine Liechti of Glasgow School of Shiatsu for hosting this event. Grateful for the shared Shiatsu space 🙏.

May I also take this opportunity to wish Elaine and her Glasgow School of Shiatsu a Happy 40th Anniversary 🪷🎉🥂.

For several years, my client has called me to provide Shiatsu to her clients during Carers' Week. I meet people who provide long-term care to family members. Often, they don't get the chance to receive care themselves.

It is always a joy meeting new people and seeing familiar faces. It also feels meaningful to listen (not with words) to each person's story. Simply being with, witnessing and holding space. ❤️🙏

Join us in the : Five minutes. Do some bodywork on a friend or family member.

Even a small amount of treatment can refresh and reset someone you care about. Let’s get our hands on the people we love more often – it’s not only healthy, it adds a new quality to relationships💖🙌✨.

💫 A Shared Path Forward for Shiatsu in Europe - Spotlight on the ESF 💫

Over the past decade, the European Shiatsu community has undergone a remarkable transformation.

What was once a fragmented organisation working primarily through political channels gradually evolved into a more connected, collaborative and trust-based network — one built through dialogue, shared purpose and grassroots participation across countries.

Through initiatives such as Shiatsu Resources Worldwide, international meetings, workshops, meditations and the first European Shiatsu Symposium in Brussels, new bridges have been created within the Shiatsu community across Europe and beyond. The vision continues to be one of greater unity: different countries, organisations and practitioners finding ways to work together while honouring their diversity.

This growing collaboration is already bearing fruit. More countries are reconnecting, new conversations are emerging, and important milestones in professional recognition are being achieved — including Austria’s EQF Level 6 recognition for Shiatsu.

As a new chapter opens within the ESF, the focus remains on listening, communication and building a shared direction for the future of Shiatsu in Europe.

Much of this work happens quietly behind the scenes, but at its heart it is simply people from different countries, languages and perspectives coming together through a shared passion for Shiatsu and its place in society.

The invitation remains open: to participate, to communicate, and to help shape the future of Shiatsu together.
