Shiatsulu: Louise Johnson BA, LicZS, FwSS 

Louise studied Zen Shiatsu with Kris Deva North and Michael Cullingworth at the Zen School of Shiatsu in London between 2006-2012.  The Zen School of Shiatsu was founded on the Taoist shamanic medicine principles as taught by Mantak Chia and Zen Shiatsu as taught by Shizuto Masunaga and  Shiatsu as taught by Carola Beresford-Cooke.  More recently Louise has completed two courses in Quantum Shiatsu with Nicola Ley and Gabriella Polli

 

Since 2000 Louise has been practicing and researching many forms of meditation, yoga, chi-gong, energy work, shamanic journeying, shadow-work, plant and mineral medicine and extensive meta-physical studies. 

Louise has practiced internationally, treating at healing arts fairs and festivals in England and Spain and then to villages and beaches in South America and the Caribbean. Upon arriving back in the UK she spent 7 years working at a busy clinic in Waterloo, London. 

​

"many people ask me why I focus on Shiatsu when there are many other potential strings to my bow, the reason I give is because through dedicated focus on this very efficient modality it is possible to connect with the receiver on which ever level is most effective for them to release the underlying causes of their dis-ease"

​

Louise has plenty of experience in working with people to ease physical symptoms related to common conditions like chronic back ache, shoulder pain, neck pain, migraines, sciatica, digestive problems such as I.B.S, Crone's Disease etc, gentio-urinary conditions. Louise has successfully helped people to work through conditions which affect the body and mind together such as addiction, depression, insomnia and anxiety related conditions including PTSD.

​

"The use of relaxing music or sound and pure tone forms an integral part of my work and helps me and the receiver to harmonise in a meditative state which is part of the Shiatsu experience." Louise

​

Louise has trained in the Wellmother Shiatsu For Birthing course with Suzanne Yates and has plenty of experience working with women through all stages of their pregnancy. More recently Louise has completed two courses in Quantum Shiatsu with Nicola Ley and Gabriella Polli

 

Louise has experience of using Shiatsu to positive effect for people who have been diagnosed as experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions and would like to suggest Shiatsu as a possible way to help manage the challenging reactions, anxiety and emotional responses that these conditions can present to the individual and their loved ones.

​

As well as a Shiatsu therapist Louise is a professional visual artist and singer and has worked for 20 years with children and young people encouraging self-expression through play and creativity. Louise has dedicated a lot of time to working with children and young people who have been diagnosed with S.E.N and have exhibited 'challenging behaviour'
