About Us

Shiatsu relaxes the body, balances the qi flow, and creates a framework for improving your quality of life. After several sessions, clients have changed their perception of life events and challenges. They're at more peaceful, more grateful places in life. So receive shiatsu and learn to voice your dreams and manifest what's in your heart.

How We Got Started

After much pain and no solutions, shiatsu was an answer to a prayer. After just a few sessions of shiatsu and a few suggestions for dietary changes, my health improved dramatically. After my third session, I had enrolled in classes. I wanted to provide shiatsu training for everyone. After years of practice and more learning about integrative nutrition and health, I found myself in the Bucks County area with the great opportunity to direct the International School of Shiatsu. We remain in Bucks County, offering shiatsu for individuals and for students who wish to be shiatsu practitioners.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body and the universe will keep sending you signals for change. So ask yourself, what is the passion that drives you to create this business of capturing memories for people. Now, apply that passion to creating health for yourself. There are many good business strategies listed here in various replies. However, businesses will continue to evolve in various forms.   Human bodies need nurturing, loving, care. That means fresh air, restful sleep, organic foods, and lots of hugs. So build a support system or find your friends and ask for help. Allow yourself to receive support and nurturing.Listen to your body and get acupuncture, lymph drainage,shiatsu, reflexology, massage, reiki.  Check out Upledger cranio-sacral in FL or  Barnes Myofascial center in Malvern, PA. There is another research center in Jacksonville, FL studying Concussions and Lymph drainage. Best wishes on your healing journey.

As you listen, you store away this person's name and expertise. When you meet the next person, you do the same. Eventually, you have a data base of people you know, respect and admire. When someone needs a referral, you know who to recommend.  When people need your services, people will remember your area of expertise as well. It's all word of mouth referral. You know, the old village concept where all the grandmas knew everything!

(more) Identify the officers and the key person in charge of education, events or what content you're proposing. If you present the idea to two people and they agree, it's imply a question of timing. Is this the appropriate time to offer this concept or would there be a better time. Also, plan at least a year in advance. PTA groups are very busy and usually run by the same small core group of people who are very busy. So keep the present concise and be efficient with use of time

(more) Since you have a small staff of five, have an honest discussion of who is stressed the most, what needs improvement, what are your strengths and weaknesses. If you already have four schools, you have successful model. At a minimum, add one more office staff member who will become familiar with your model, the unique qualities of each charter school, your faculty, students, parents. This person can be an assistant to the office person who is most stressed by overload of daily processes. Look carefully at your office staffing, vacations, sick days, long term leaves? Who covers the workload? Or the new office employee becomes a specialist at something you wish to add to your expertise. Look at your long range plans and see what is needed to reach those goals. Congratulations on your success
