Chat I enjoyed most… relaxed learning environment… meeting new people… eating lovely food… touching base with Shiatsu again & being with likeminded people.

It’s brought Shiatsu back into my life, keeping the flame alive! What I enjoyed most is being in a small but varied life experience group.

Nice flow, really good teaching, good food and nourishment.

Feeling connected through touch. It reinforced that I need to put energy into boundaries and letting go. I feel so calm when I’m at the course.

I feel rejuvenated, clear inspired, energised, and more prepared to practice Shiatsu with more confidence.

It is so good to re-connect with others who have done the retreats and sharing ideas and learning. A greater depth of understanding with each retreat, building a foundation of knowledge and awareness.

The food is definitely a highlight.

What I enjoyed most was discovering that I can rely on my own body when giving a treatment… that it is not only the theory but my body can feel where to put more pressure or not.

More calmness inside, like things are aligned better.

I feel capable of giving a friend/parter a basic shiatsu massage. I have also been made more aware of energy and it’s involvement in health.

The chance to deeply relax over the two days… I feel still and calm.

A pleasure! From the moment I booked. The responses have been super fast… presentation wonderful, food delicious.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole course.

The combination of Autumn & Jenni is one this world needs.

Autumn – just beautiful

Theory – easy to follow

Food – delicious

I found this course to be informative, a wealth of information, hands-on experience and feedback. Incredible catering, sufficient break time.

Professional, polished, yet relaxed.

Thank you.

My overall experience was great. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something I had not done before.

You created a very inclusive and encouraging and safe environment in which to learn and learn.

I’ve found my calling! …and I’m very happy about this. I felt my heart open – I’m going home energised.

Reminded me… get back in touch with my Ki & intuition. It was wonderful… the tea, the space, the set-up. A really good introduction to the practice of Shiatsu and the application of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

I enjoyed the balance between theory and practical… I feel I have gained a basic understanding of the theory of Shiatsu and am excited / motivated to learn more.

Autumn is an awesome teacher, practitioner. I loved the balance of theory and practical… It has allowed me to notice more…showing me where I can bring more intention ad awareness to my own space.

It helped me open up and feel more comfortable with myself and others. It’s a lovely atmosphere to learn not just about shiatsu but ourselves and nature too.

Such a beautiful experience.

I really enjoyed the whole journey… a beautiful bodywork technique. Learning a new way to work with the body and also new ways to see the body through TCM.

It was excellent!

I have benefitted from… taking time in my practice, slowing things down, a deeper appreciation for TCM.

The giver of the treatment is very important… It is an experience for the giver as well… I will take this with me the most.

It felt like a safe space from the moment entering the yurt. An amazing group of students who were open and interesting. Amazing facilitator with a relaxed pace, allowing info to be easily received.

Wonderful. Heartfelt and informative. A great balance between practical experience and the value of a strong mind-body connection.

Really loved it. Amazing food. A great Introduction to shiatsu.

I feel really happy to have a 45min treatment I can share.

Loved it all… it was perfect!

The experience was perfect for me. I love the environment & support & materials. Perfect!

Beautifully held space in which each of us was encouraged to tap into our inner knowing and connect with trust, care, and love.

..awareness of the mother-child relationship with the elements; deepening into commitment…

Informative, nurturing, inspiring… and the food was outstanding!

I’ve done the course before, but it was slightly different and still interesting. Well worth doing again! I feel much more relaxed and I feel I have better positioning when giving this time.

Most of all I have benefitted from the nurturing I received and was able to give. I also loved the space, the natural environment and the food!

I feel quite a deep peace as well as an expanded perspective of how to connect through bodywork.

It was great – Autumn I loved your manner and teaching style and your generosity. And thanks Jenni for the delicious food. I had a very enjoyable weekend.

Awesome holistic experience! – for mind, body & soul.

Doing the intro course for the 2nd time, I feel more confident in my touch… it’s good layering the knowledge and practice, plus I learned new stuff too! I think more things resonated with me the second time around, it’s given me a deeper understanding.

Also, I appreciate and notice the different seasonal approaches – it makes me curious for the (other) courses..

I loved that Autumn wove her naturopathy experience into the two days. It was a great balance of content and breaks and amazing food to nourish us.

I learned about the ‘art’ of shiatsu, and enjoyed being able to ask heaps of questions that were then answered with consideration.

Beautiful. Nourishing. Informative. Professional. Practical. Wonderful food. Overall inspired…

I have learned more about myself by connecting, and bringing awareness into my body, eyes open to how my body works and how it is intricately connected.

I also feel like I have stepped into my personal power through learning.

I’m so glad I came. I loved all of it… Brilliant teacher, so patient.

I thought Autumn’s teaching was insightful, relevant and easy to understand while also challenging the mind.

Gaining new knowledge & understanding of this discipline has translated into a different perspective on human nature than western society teaches.

Delightful! Relaxing and informative.

Autumn is a lovely teacher, so passionate and wonderful at what she does.

A wonderful combination of learning and healing.

Amazing what you can learn and experience in only two days.

A very thorough introductory course, delivered in a relaxed way. Loved it. Very holistic approach. And beautiful wholesome food.

Awesome. Loved the tea and food. The beautiful space and connection to other lovely women… My needs were met.

…dropping into the body; self care; relaxation & education… amazing!
