Shoshin Shiatsu is coming to Saint Louis, MO in September. One reason I love my new studio space is because I have room to have my clients on the floor and the table. Working on the floor allows for a different kind of movement, you are not restricted by the table.
I have studied with several thai/floor work instructors but Randy is one of my favorites. He has a demeanor that is safe and inviting. He wants to inspire you into this work; not only put the info in your brain and body. He embodies the work and he invites you into the experience. If you’re like me, you may appreciate the blend of anatomical understanding and a more energetic feel to your session, studying with Randy is the path. Randy will literally overlay meridians to the muscles.
He is also a wise soul with worldly experience to share. Randy has inspired me to shift and change my business at times based on a few pieces he shared in conversation. He is truly a gift to bodywork. 
Randy will be in Saint Louis in September 22-23 2023 to share Shoshin Shiatsu with us. This is a 2 day course with continuing education credits available.
Shoshin Shiatsu, or ”Beginner’s Mind” shiatsu, is a traditional combination of classical shiatsu and Thai massage using tsubo (acupressure point) stimulation and meridian stretching.
In this hands-on training you will experience: breath meditation, hara engagement, tsubo point combinations, paired meridian stretches, and practical approaches to contemporary concerns.
Removing the self(ego), yet maintaining strength of character and flexibility during a session, opens the breath and creates opportunity for the realization of fluidity and consciousness.
