Sebastian Deans FwSS

From an early age Sebastian has had an interest in helping people. In 2004, having already trained in Reiki, he was steered towards Shiatsu and found it developed the range and communication of his therapeutic touch.

He's also been teaching at the Norwich and London branches of the Shiatsu College since 2014.

Sebastian says, "I appreciate working with many different people, covering a wide range of reasons for having treatments. I am always inspired by clients and their varied responses to Shiatsu and this inspiration I bring to my teaching, both at the College and in my own workshops. I also practice at the Holt Holistic Centre, in the countryside town of Holt, just 10 minutes from the coast".
