Our clinics are in central Manchester, on these dates: 15th November; 6th December; 10th January; 7th February.
If our free sessions are taken for a particular clinic, you can be on a waiting list.

If these categories don't apply to you, you can still book for our clinics! It's a low cost option, £30 full price or £20 concessions.

Get in touch via Messenger or email to book.

Are you a carer, or Care-experienced, or on Universal credit (or similar benefits)? It's that time of the year when we start taking bookings for our shiatsu clinics, and this year we have some funded places for people from these disadvantaged groups. Come along and try out shiatsu for free, in a friendly setting at Manchester Buddhist Centre.

You will get a professional, individual shiatsu session, in a room with 4 or 5 others receiving at the same time. Your shiatsu practitioner will be a Year 3 student or a graduate. The clinic will be supervised by a teacher who is an experienced shiatsu practitioner, who can be on hand if any help is needed.

Here are the dates and times (all Saturdays):
Nov 15th at 10.45, 12, 1.45, 3
Dec 6th at 10.45, 12, 1.45, 3
Jan 10th at 1.45 or 3
Feb 7th at 1.45 or 3

To book your Shiatsu session please contact us via Messenger or email.

Care-experienced means you spent time in a children's home, or you were fostered or adopted as a child.
Being a carer means you care for a member of your family or friend, eg if they have a disability.

Looking forward to my Ancestors and Ancestral Qi workshop! 1st November, for any shiatsu practitioners, graduates and advanced students. We will be exploring a variety of topics around Ancestors, including how we can feel resourced by connecting with our benevolent ancestors; and how we might work with ancestral trauma.
Here is a picture of my grandfather serving in Australia during World War 2 (at the back, second from left in glasses, smiling).

If you have trained in shiatsu, and you would like to know more about this workshop please contact me.

£85, central Manchester, 10.30-5.30.
