We are the only provider of certificate and diploma-level Shiatsu training in Aotearoa!

Shiatsu Retreats are short massage courses with a huge impact!

Retreats are for anyone interested in bodywork, personal growth and development. You will learn the basic principles and techniques of Shiatsu Bodywork and practice and experience what Shiatsu feels like as a giver and receiver. Furthermore, each retreat has a theoretical focus on a particular Chinese element, correlating with the time of year, and experiencial exercises around topics relating to the element & season. Each Retreat is wrapped in a nurturing frame of nourishing plant-based food and a space to nourish yourself, remove the pressures of every day, and settle deeply.

Participation in one Introductory Weekend Course or Retreat is the best way to encounter our work and is a pre-requisite for the enrolling in the Foundation Level Shiatsu Certificate Program and the Shiatsu Practitioner Training (Diploma in Shiatsu Therapy).
