Intro to Shiatsu
August 22nd - August 24th, 2025
Shiatsu Schule Kreuzberg, Berlin
This weekend course is a beautiful way to get introduced to the Shiatsu philosophy. You will learn essential techniques, developing the art of sensitive touch guided by the recipient's body. By the end of the course, you will have learned a short sequence and gained an understanding of the essence of Shiatsu. Everyone feeling curious is welcome, but this can be a great addition to your skill set if you are already working with people as a somatic practitioner or yoga teacher.
The introductory course is also an invitation to get a feel for the premises and teaching style (the school's "visit card") and makes it easier to get started with the 1st year training.

Joanna is a Reiki and Shiatsu practitioner and teacher.
Originally from France, Joanna moved to Berlin in 2016 after finishing a Master's in Marketing. She started working in a beauty start-up, but eventually, felt totally out of sync with her role at the company and decided to quit..
The next year was a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but it was also a beautiful period of growth and rediscovery. Therapy and coaching, along with a longtime interest in alternative medicine, led her to realize that helping others with their overall health – physically, emotionally, and spiritually – was her calling.
Through inner work and practices like conscious breathing, meditation, and Reiki, Joanna’s whole outlook changed. She became more present, reconnected with herself, and learned to trust in her body and her own healing power.
Now, she has the chance to give back as a Reiki and Shiatsu practitioner and teacher. She knows she doesn’t have all the answers, but she’s learned that each of us holds a powerful potential within. It's all about self-healing from what's holding you back, whether it's emotional baggage, mental blocks, or physical stuff. When we tap into our own wisdom, that's when we can start making the life we want.
