Sarah Bristow MRSS T, AIYP - Shiatsu and Yoga
Sarah began her work in complementary medicine as a reflexologist and masseuse and then qualified as a Shiatsu practitioner in 1989. Alongside her clinical practice, she trained as a teacher which led to her running the professional training course with The Shiatsu College, Brighton. Over the years Sarah has trained with some of the leading 'masters' of Shiatsu including Pauline Sasaki and Akinobu Kishi, both in the U.K. and Japan.
Sarah also teaches yoga (registered with the AIYP, the Association of Independent Yoga Practitioners) which has developed alongside her Shiatsu practice. Her yoga practice has a wide range of influences, but is especially inspired by the teaching of Vanda Scariavelli and her current teacher John Stirk.
Sarah's work is further influenced and supported by a continuing and evolving study of eastern and western approaches to medicine, psychology, philosophy and meditation. She is also a painter.
