Reconnect with the Wisdom of Your Body

You’ve studied this and trained in that. You’ve collected qualifications, learned incredible tools – maybe you’re a massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, or a counsellor. You’re still curious, always learning, and deeply passionate about making a difference.

I see you – because I’m just like you.

Hi, I’m Ruth Patrizzi, your guide for this immersive, hands-on training in Practical Movement Shiatsu. With over 20 years of experience in Shiatsu, massage, and embodied therapy, I’ve crafted this course to help you reconnect to your own body – so you can show up fully in your work and in your life.

Over three deeply practical weekends, we’ll come back to the intelligence of the body through touch, movement and presence. You’ll gain the tools, the felt sense, and the confidence to make your practice more powerful – and more personal.

Discover a way of working that empowers, liberates and heals – for you and your clients.
