About shiatsushaman

..."I am a Registered Shiatsu Therapist and the President of the Shiatsu Therapy Association of British Columbia. I was first introduced to the world of shiatsu therapy in the early 1980's while studying the martial arts under the tutelage of Datu Shishir Inocalla after sustaining a lower back injury while training with him.

His application of shiatsu resulted in an immediate disappearance of my lower back pain. It was at this point that I became obsessed with shiatsu and Eastern medicine and sought out to learn all that I could about it. It was not until 2004 that I made the shift to becoming a professional shiatsu therapist, but I feel that it pays to follow your heart and answer your calling.

I received my formal shiatsu training and graduated from Langara College/Sourcepoint Shiatsu Centre's 1100 hour Shiatsu Therapy program at the top of my class. I now have two very busy practices and I am married with two children, both of these facets of my life give me much joy and fulfillment..."
