Breathwork in Bristol

“Having studied Shiatsu at another school for one and a half years, I took a three month taster course with Frank Davies of Bath School of Shiatsu and Yoga. In terms of Shiatsu techniques, I can truthfully say I learned more in those three months with him than I'd learned in a year and a half with my previous school. Such was the force of this realisation, I decided to go back to the first year with him and start my learning journey right from the beginning again - and this has been a very good decision! Frank's integration of Yoga - which I am not good at - and emphasis on posture makes the process of giving Shiatsu not only more comfortable as a practitioner, but a more fluid and enjoyable experience for the recipient. As a tutor Frank is exacting. But the consistency of his approach to teaching and his immense encouragement builds my confidence, and also my hunger to learn more and more. His passion for what he does is infectious and his sense of humour fills our beautiful workspace. Beyond that, his love for his students is tangible. And his patience... I'll admit I must have tested this in him, but have been met only with kindness and further encouragement. I can't recommend this course more highly. It has changed my life, and I have a huge sense of gratitude for this.”

“I have been seeing Dawn once a fortnight for a couple of months to work through some post traumatic issues and general life stress. I have found her to be very easy to talk to, understanding and non judgemental. She has helped me significantly by advising tools and techniques to manage stress and fear in a clear and understandable way. I feel like a different person, I’m no longer ashamed of sometimes finding things stressful and find it easier to focus on the positive and catch negative thoughts as they appear.”
