    Join STAA and Con Margaritis for this new 5 week intensive online course. This unique series is designed for therapists and practitioners eager to deepen their understanding of self and the connective and reflective nature of the therapist-client relationship.



    This intensive course with Con Margaritis will provide you with:

    • Techniques for self-healing and self-care
    • Skills with which to build nurturing relationships with clients
    • Understanding the dynamics of the therapist-client relationship
    • Tools to create a supportive environment for healing

    What to expect:

    Each week, Con will guide us on an interactive exploration of self, assisting us to understand how our personal experiences and reflections influence our professional relationships and  practices. Expect to engage in meaningful conversations, guided activities and contemplations that will deepen your self-awareness and enhance your therapeutic relationships.

    Course Offerings:

    • Practical and Interactive group discussions. Prepare to engage! 
    • Connection and a deep exchange with other practitioners 
    • 10 CPE points for online course work with a certificate of course work and attendance
    • Sessions will be recorded and available for a limited time

    We look forward to this series of learning and growing together, exploring who we are and how this impacts our ability to meet our clients and their needs.

    Places are limited.

                                       Con Margaritis 

    I have been in clinical shiatsu practice for 32 years. I lectured at Shiatsu Australia from 1993-2006 and have been lecturing at the Australian Shiatsu College since 2010.

    Over that time my work and life have been influenced through western and eastern religions, Anthroposophy, growing up working on a farm, graduating and working as an engineer, food energetics, nature/gardening, bushwalking and studying numerous styles of bodywork and healing modalities. Also,  through participating and practising tai chi, yoga, dance, acting, drama and sports and, through the personal experience of life, of being a man, son, husband, father and grandfather and bringing them all together to where I am today.

    My specialisation in clinic is being able to meet clients wherever they are.
