About David

I discovered Shiatsu around 15 years ago when I had successful treatments for back problems and fatigue. It helped me to realise how these physical problems were wrapped up in my life patterns and habits, and this supported me to make important changes for better health.

My Shiatsu training, which I began in 2013, and my subsequent professional practice, has represented a deeply affecting experience of getting to know myself, developing embodied feeling, and learning to trust my inner body intelligence. Over this time, I have also found practices such as Qi Gong, yoga, dance, and somatic movement very valuable for connecting to my body and expressing myself. After 10 years of heavy academic work and generally being over-driven, embodied awareness and energy work was a transformational process through which I have cultivated insights and understanding that I feel profoundly enriches my therapeutic work with clients.

I find doing Shiatsu immensely satisfying and fulfilling. I love bringing my compassion and empathy, and relating to people in a truthful and authentic way as I witness their change and healing.

I have lived in the Falmouth area since 2017. I love living in Cornwall where I enjoy hiking, camping, surfing, cycling, and music events.
