Parents want their children to become strong, independent and happy adults. But nowadays the kids are influenced by many factors, friends, the internet, bad nutritional habits, lack of guidance, lack of quality time, …

So what we see is that issues and disorders like ADD/ADHD, bed wetting and school refusal, to name only a few, are growing amongst the young population.

How can we deal with this development? What can we do to have a positive impact on our young clients? What can we do as parents?

We will have a look at how to tackle these issues with a holistic approach, based on 20 years of clinical experience with Shiatsu.

In order to do so, we will first focus on the meridian families which are strongly connected to our physical, emotional and personal development. How do they manifest in our chi and how can we support the aspects they are associated with, on different levels?

Based on understanding the meridian families, we can develop a treatment strategy and pick the according Shiatsu techniques from our “toolbox”.

 

Opening the big joints for grounding, expression and space

To make our way in life, we need stable grounding combined with the freedom to move and express ourselves. Working with the joints, especially with the big joints, is a powerful tool in every Shiatsu treatment, no matter the age of the client. The concepts and techniques we learn in this workshop, directly translate into working with all your clients.

 

In this workshop we will have a look at

• the chi of children
• meridian families
• how to support the first meridian family in particular
• what do we have to take into account, when working with children
• translating the concept of meridian families into a treatment plan

 

The practical input focuses on

• working with the big joints
• the effects of these techniques
• why is working on the big joints so important for children as well as adults?
