At the Bristol School of Shiatsu, we provide courses of the highest standard in an atmosphere that is enjoyable, stimulating and inspiring. Our training courses are fully ratified and recognised by the Shiatsu Society UK, delivered by fully qualified and experienced teachers, assisted by graduates of the school.

Courses for all

Starting with a Foundation Course for beginners, you can then continue your journey by completing the Year One course, which is the first part of our Three-year Practitioner Training. 

Our Year One course now includes its own Holistic Acupressure qualification. On successful completion, you'll receive certification, be eligible for insurance, able to practise as a Well-Being Practitioner. This means you can start charging for your sessions while continuing your Shiatsu Practitioner training, helping to fund the rest of your journey as you learn.

Our Three-Year Professional Practitioner Training programme is a ‘Level 4 Diploma in Shiatsu’ government-recognised qualification (RQF), regulated by Ofqual.

If you would like to find out more about this or any aspect of our training please contact us.
