In episode nine of the podcast, Simon your host, interviews Canadian shiatsu therapist, speaker at conferences and Shiatsu researcher, Leisa Bellmore.

We talk about the amazing clinic Leisa works from, self-care for musicians, her teaching and presentation work, as well as the research project she has been involved with.
We also have the inevitable discussion about the similarities and differences between Masunaga and Namikoshi styles of Shiatsu…

This is the longest episode to date, and follows the increasingly familiar rambling style of the other episodes, meandering through a range of topics including the differences between Namikoshi Shiatsu and Zen or Masunaga Shiatsu, as well as the lack of research across the field of Shiatsu and what is starting to be done about it…

**It’s LIVE!!! Launch date was the 1st of April 2016!!**
I’ve been a keen consumer of podcasts for some time now and have become inspired to start my own… So a new project for 2016 is to launch my very own Podcast!
It will be a health and wellbeing podcast with a slant towards the business side of being a therapist or health professional. The plan is to share people’s personal journeys of how they found their path, what they’ve learned and where they’re going…
I already have a number of interviews lined up and have a growing list of people I would love to feature!
If you’d like to be featured please see the bottom of this post…
The plan is to launch on the First of March 2016 with a number of episodes recorded and ready to go!
So at the moment I’m busy getting everything set up at the backend, scheduling interviews, fine tuning my questions, getting to grips with the technology, the technique and the finer aspects of the concepts I want to explore.
My guests will generally be interviewed on an audio only Skype call unless they are local Londoners and want to do an in-person interview instead.
And I will also be including some shorter episodes where I explore a specific topic, give an over view or review of something that I use and value myself… I’ve got some ideas but working out what exactly will be part of the journey!
Future Podcast Guests…
This will be an audio only Podcast exploring the SuperStars of the Natural Health Field!
My guests will require basic equipment such as this headset and mic:
Or if they want to go really high quality, this bad boy:
A decent broadband connection is also essential…
If you’d like to be interviewed please outline what you do and pop an email over to info@TheShiatsuGuy.com
And if you’d just like to listen then please subscribe to updates from this blog so that you get sneak peaks in advance, find out first when we launch as well as getting regular updates!
I’m quite nervous pressing the publish button but here goes!
This is a project I started a long time ago and never quite finished! Now as part of my new path, I am working on completing past projects before starting the next one…

Yoga is great for helping manage a range of physical conditions, improving strength and flexibility, releasing tight muscles, calming the mind, improving sleep and generally boosting your health and energy levels.
If you’re new to yoga it’s a good idea to try out a few classes or different styles of yoga to find out which suits you best and to find a teacher whose teaching style fits with your preferred learning style. Hopefully the list above will give you a bit of a start in finding a great yoga class in South East London.
It’s a great idea to support your Yoga Practice with Shiatsu treatments
Shiatsu for Yogis and Yoginis
If you’d like to support your yoga practice then Shiatsu can be a great way to do that. Shiatsu massage can help your body adapt to the new exercises, increase flexibility, deal with past injuries more quickly (sometimes our bodies need to manifest old injuries before we can move through and resolve them) calm your mind and get rid of stress.
You might like to try a Shiatsu massage when you first start yoga or when you come back to yoga after a break, to help your body adapt to the new movements. Shiatsu is great for helping with musculo-skeletal issues, such as fallen arches, misalignment, scoliosis, twists in the spine, muscle imbalances and referred pain due to injuries or weaknesses.
Or if you’re pushing your yoga to the next level Shiatsu can help to improve your flexibility by safely stretching beyond where you can take yourself (we all have different kinds of resistance even if we should be physically able to get there) by releasing tension in the muscles as well as adhesions in the connective tissue.
Yoga is like a physical ‘Psycho-Analysis’ and Shiatsu can help with the reflection and resolution.
You might just want a one-off Shiatsu, occasional maintenance treatments or regular sessions depending on your budget, time constraints and what you’re facing in your work, life-style and physical/emotional/energetic health.
Whatever your needs Shiatsu can provide the support and nurturing you require!
If you’d like to have a shiatsu with me (Simon, The Shiatsu Guy) you can contact me on 07951 621 308 or info@theshiatsuguy.com
I have clinics in 4 London locations and I can do home visits in Forest Hill and Sydenham (Crystal Palace and Honor Oak too… and South East London in general usually works. but I might have to charge a wee bit for travel)
