After coming in contact with the Vipassana Meditation Tradition as being taught by S.N.
Goenka-ji, my main focus for the following six years was practicing this style of Meditation,
and supporting the teachings as a volunteer worker. I maintained a regular Haṭha Yoga
practice and attended several intensive courses, mainly in the Sivananda Tradition.
In 1997, I became interested in alternative healing techniques and began studying Shiatsu.
After an initial course with Sakis Theophilos (Om Ha Hara Shiatsu Centre), I became Sakis’
assistant and apprentice until 2001. I concluded my studies by obtaining the Diploma of
Shiatsu from the Bristol College of Shiatsu in 2002. Next to Zen Shiatsu, my training included
TCM, Qi Gong and Chinese Food Energetics.
