The National Council of the Shiatsu Therapy Association of Australia (STAA) is delighted to present a 3-day educational and inclusive shiatsu experience designed to empower and engage professional bodywork practitioners.  

This 2019 conference program covers a broad application of treatments in particular areas of health — Alzheimer’s and brain injury, oncology, trauma-related conditions, child and teenage clients, diet, digestion and breath dysfunction.  To support our studies and round out the experience, we will offer morning chanting, meridian stretches, guided shiatsu swaps and evening meditation.

Friends of shiatsu, students and non-members are welcome as this program offers excellent guidance to augment the training of aligned health services such as TCM practitioners, acupuncturists, massage therapists, nurses, disability and aged carers and others.  Introducing the holistic power of shiatsu knowledge and touch supports both the patient and the professional.  

STAA conferences are an uplifting experience based on interactive opportunities to receive and give bodywork, connecting and caring, good food and clear communication.  Support the study and research of complementary medicine in Australia, empower yourself through a variety of personal learning experiences and engage in the sharing of knowledge.

We look forward to greeting you with energy and warmth on the 24th May.
