There's a lot to learn about shiatsu (and health, and life and...) I'm still learning myself, and plan to always be.
If you're new here I'd like to help make finding your way around easier.
Here are some things to read to get started with a basic understanding of what shiatsu is (and what it is not).
There is, of course, the ever-popular FAQ's page.
Here are a couple of posts about why shiatsu may be relevant to your life, or of interest, if you've ever wanted to try it but weren't ready to make the leap:

Life Lessons I Learned From Shiatsu (coming soon)
I also write about related subjects: life, food, exercise, macrobiotics, fibromyalgia, women's health issues, my own experiences and aha! moments (ie: things I may or may not have learned in shiatsu school..) and anything I think might be of help to you. You can check out the posts below to get started. You can also subscribe to my blog, and /or email newsletter.
