Customer Reviews

Year 2 of Shiatsu course
This book is excellent for the student shiatsu practitioner. It sets out the meridians in a clear and precise way. I am dyslexic and find it difficult to get on with many text books but this one gives you the chance to colour in the bits that you need to learn, this allows identification where otherwise it might be very difficult.

Different bites of information are set out in seperate boxes, this means that once again I can personalise the text by puting colour in the boxes to help me identify categories.

This is a very simple book to read yet it gives in depth information.

Very enjoyable to study from. :-)
