School’s new shiatsu course ALTHOUGH relatively new when compared with other oriental therapies and medicines, shiatsu is still based on ancient teachings. Like qigong, tai chi and feng shui, shiatsu uses the five elements - an ancient way of understanding nature, life and our health; rich in understanding about how we can transform and heal ourselves. The five elements are fire, wood, water, metal and earth. The literal translation of shiatsu is ‘finger pressure’ where a practitioner uses touch and other techniques to improve the body’s balance and energy flow - known as ki. One of the country’s longest established Shiatsu schools, running from a converted barn near Totnes, is the Devon School of Shiatsu which has announced the new SelfTransformational Five Element Shiatsu
Three spokes to mums’ Hub ASK any of the mums who attend the Natural Birth Hub in Totnes and they’ll tell you there are three main aspects to what it has to offer. The first of those three is community. Says organiser Olivia Seck: “It’s a chance for mums to meet other mums on the same holistic wavelength. Everyone is accepted – no-one will be judged.” Secondly, it’s a learning environment – but again it’s all about the individual. “For example, we’ll have a 20 minute talk,” said Olivia, “but then encourage a discussion to help people find their own style of parenting. “We encourage the mums to think about how they relate to various theories and how they might fit in at home. It’s more like life coaching, really.” And finally there’s the nurturing aspect. The Natural Birth Hub can offer Indian head massage and reflexology sessions (as well as someone to hold the babies while the mums enjoy it),

and a wholesome lunch. Payment is by donation from £5-10 – “those who can pay more, pay more,” says Olivia. The Hub is held at Eden Rise, just outside of Totnes, every Monday from 10am – and when it comes back on September 3 after a short summer break (the next two Hubs are August 6 and 13), there are plans for it to run into the evening. There are also two other groups, held in Totnes – a pregnancy group on Tuesday 7.30-9pm at the Friends’ Meeting House; and baby massage at Leatside surgery on Wednesdays. Visit www.holisticfamilyholidays.co.uk and call 01803 226127. l THERE are also plans for a Natural Birth Hub open day but as we go to press, details are to be confirmed. It will include stalls, tasters, talks and refreshments, and will be in Totnes, probably be on September 8. More details from the Hub - and in the Reconnect online diary.
