Richard Shaw
MSc, DipESS, MCThA
I trained at the European Shiatsu School and am a member of the Complementary
Therapists Association (Embody).
I run a private practice and work for
charities and community groups in Hackney, Islington and
Camden, and offer corporate stress management consultancy and
on-site massage.
I have had a long association with the
Stress Project (a north London charity) both as a shiatsu
practitioner and as facilitator of classes on Qi Gong, shiatsu
and relaxation. I also carry out initial assessment interviews
with clients referred to the Stress Project, in order to help
them to choose a suitable therapy.
I work holistically, adapting treatments to
suit the individual client, and incorporating techniques from
disciplines such as Tuina (traditional Chinese massage), Sotai
(facilitated stretching) and Indian head massage.
I have also worked for many years as an
editor and writer and I have contributed to numerous books and
articles on health, nutrition and complementary medicine
(including the ‘Alternative Answers’ series on Back Problems, Pain, Asthma and Allergies
and Arthritis and Rheumatism), as well as distance learning modules for the
Royal College
