2026 Post Graduate Program
“Touching the Heart of the Nervous System”
A six month immersion into developing clinical skills to work effectively with trauma and nervous system dysregulation.
- Six one-day workshops (9.30-5.30pm) at Tara Springs Retreat Centre, Taradale VIC 3447;
- Five Online sessions in between workshops to ask questions, discuss, share, reflect & refine;
- Comprehensive Course Handouts and Resources;
- Access to a WhatsApp discussion group to stay in touch in between sessions;
- Case study requirement to consolidate learnings from the program.
With the continuing rise in mental health issues along with an increased public awareness of trauma, touch and working with the bodily expression of that nervous system dysregulation is a crucial component in creating the possibility for a change within your clients.
How ready are you to meet and support the rising challenge?
Once you gain a much greater awareness of both the nervous system and how to engage with that, you can work with both confidence and clarity in creating the safe container needed for self healing and lasting change to occur.
From that deeper understanding knowledge, we can also educate, support and empower our clients to connect to and become more deeply aware of their differing states, what they are saying and the choices or actions they can take to embody effective self-regulation to calm the nervous system.

Private Tutorials / Study Groups
For more personal input into your practice and development, I also offer PRIVATE TUTORIAL SESSIONS to help you refine specific aspects of your clinical practice. Ideally come with another person so you have the opportunity to observe, to give and receive, as well as share the cost!
The STUDY GROUPS are a great way to have focussed input over a longer period of time. My rough suggestion is a group of 4-6 people meeting once a month for 3-4 hrs over a time frame of 6 months. Here we can explore themes and techniques in greater depth to:
- to enhance clinical practice and strategies;
- to learn different/lateral ways of working with the energies;
- to refine ‘on the body’ diagnostic techniques and approaches;
- to share skills and experiences;
- to continue to grow as shiatsu practitioners.
Cost: $100/hour
