Martin

Martin has been a Practitioner of Shiatsu since 1996. He is a Registered Teacher with the Shiatsu Society and is a director at the Rosemount Centre in Aberdeen.

His home country is Germany, but he has lived and worked in the UK for many years.

Martin's experience of energy work goes all the way back to when he left school and started to study Meditation, Yoga and Tai-Chi in Cologne. From this initial contact with energy work sprang a deeper need and interest. He then went on to qualify in psychotherapy with the IGTC International Gestalt Training Institute in Hamburg.

Having been introduced to Shiatsu in 1987, he moved to London to train in 1989. There he also encountered Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythm Dance and he became a registered teacher of this in 1994.

Martin has been teaching classes in Yoga, Qi-Gong, Movement & Dance, Meditation & Voice Work nationally for many years. He draws all these into his teaching of Shiatsu which enriches the learning experiences of the students in the College.

In his desire to explore more fully the aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine with underlie Shiatsu, he has recently completed the long training necessary to become a fully qualified Chinese Herbalist.
