Our Teachers
At the Glasgow School of Shiatsu, we pride ourselves on the quality of our teaching team. Our Shiatsu teachers are all recognised as ‘Teachers’ by the Shiatsu Society (designatory letter T after professional Shiatsu status). Over the years we have had some of the most experienced and vibrant teachers in our team, including Vicky Smyth, Liz Arundel and Mike Webster. Find out about our current teachers below.

I found Shiatsu through my experience of ill health when in my early twenties. The techniques and principles of Shiatsu and East Asian medicine helped me to alleviate and understand the debilitating migraines I had started to experience. I began studying Shiatsu and macrobiotics at the East West Centre in London in 1980.
I love supporting others on their journey of deeper connection. I believe we feel more ease in our bodies when we are empowered with the knowledge of how this might be achieved.
Now, as a Teacher at the Glasgow School of Shiatsu, I find it rewarding to share what has become second nature to me. The language of the meridians and the wisdom of the body are interwoven through my Ki, and teaching feels like a natural expression of this.
