<h2>Liz Butters <i>TZSS CH</i></h2>
<p>Liz first studied
shiatsu in 1988. However it was ten years before she decided to take it up
professionally and became a student at the Zen School. She has since developed
her practice with Carola Beresford-Cooke in Wales and Ohasi (a pupil of Masunaga, the
father of Zen Shiatsu). She is now a teacher at the Zen School and represents
the School on the <a href="http://www.generalshiatsucouncil.org/">General Shiatsu Council</a>.</p>
<p>Liz is also an NLP practitioner. She
finds both shiatsu and NLP can facilitate change and self healing on all levels: mind,
body and spirit. She is particularly interested in working with women with
gynaecological problems and people with cancer.</p>
<p>Liz has a background in health services
research, primarily in the fields of palliative and terminal care, evaluating services for
people with cancer and HIV. She was a member of the Management Committee of <a href="http://www.womenshealthlondon.org.uk/">Women's Health</a> for five years. Women's
Health is a national charity which provides information and support to enable women to
make informed decisions about their gynaecological health. Liz is keen to integrate
her skills and to carry out research into complementary therapies.</p>
<p>In her spare time Liz practices Qi Gong,
Okido yoga and Taoist meditation. She continues to explore other therapies including
Qi Gong Healing and Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist abdominal massage). She is a keen amateur
trumpet player and plays in a big band.</p>
<p>Liz practices shiatsu and NLP in north west
London. She also offers home visits and treatments at the Zen School of
Shiatsu. She can provide 'on-site' shiatsu on a massage chair (suitable for work and
party environments).</p>
<br>
<i><p>Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy based on the ancient theories and wisdom of Traditional
Chinese Medicine.</p>
<p>Shiatsu literally means "finger push", often known as acupressure. A treatment
includes palm and finger pressure and gentle stretches which connect with the energy
flowing around the body. Each internal organ
(for example the lungs, liver and heart) has a meridian or energy line which runs through
the body. These meridians are affected by the everyday stresses
of life: overwork, a sedentary lifestyle, lack of rest and calm, emotional traumas and
illness all contribute to blockages and imbalances forming within the meridians. These
blockages may manifest in different ways such as tension, pain and fatigue. By tonifying
or releasing the energy within the meridians, shiatsu works to encourage the body to
rediscover its own balance.</p>
<p>Shiatsu has many benefits for health and wellbeing. It
is a wonderful way to take some time for yourself,
connect with your body, relax, clear any tension and
blockages from your system and generally boost your immunity. After a treatment, which
lasts about an hour, you may feel invigorated yet deeply relaxed.</p></i>
