Shiatsu Interview
50 Connect (a portal for people over 50) interviews Katherine Hall, MRSS(t), a shiatsu practitioner. The interview marks European Shiatsu week which runs from September 17th- 25th, and gives a good overview of shiatsu and an insight into the life of a shiatsu practitioner.
Can you tell us a personal success story you have had treating someone with shiatsu?
One woman in her fifties came to me feeling a tremendous loss of energy, waking early and having a sense of vertigo and problems with her ears. She was divorced, and her father - with whom she had a difficult history- had recently died. Her daughter was expecting a baby. So there was a real mix of emotional and physical issues there, all interwoven. She was scared of ending up in hospital on medication.
From a Shiatsu point of view her basic core energy was very depleted. Building this up took some time (though she reported feeling much better after our first session). She has followed recommendations I have given, and has spent time doing personal, psychological work, and seen me weekly for 1 year. A small investment in, possibly another 50 years of life on this planet. Her confidence and general energy level, and ability to tackle problems in a way she never was able to before are markedly different. Much improved!
She is a real success story: she was in a major transitionary time and recognised she wanted to make some changes and improve her health. This lady has actively worked to do that, and been rewarded.
