Welcome at Shiatsu Nascholing! Level up with our courses.
We organise all kinds of activities for working on your health from an integrative health point of view. We started out as a small company organising post graduate courses for bodyworkers. Now it is branching out into also organizing wellness days for people interested in working on their health. The basis of all these is a well established knowledge of health from both an East Eastern tradition (mostly Japanese shiatsu and Seiki). But we are doing our training at Harvard Medical School as we love learning. So our courses are for people who want to further professionalism their health clinic or to work professionally at their health as a journey.
The postgraduate courses for body-workers* are found here. What are body workers? Anyone who works with the bodily wisdom in addressing health, for example – but not limited to – shiatsu, seiki, TCM and massage therapists. Most of our courses are in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Our seminars are aimed at becoming more aware of our body, tendencies and habits and learning new techniques to address complaints of your clients. Tune in and level up further professionalising your shiatsu practice by attending these seminars. All our courses are accredited by the Shiatsu Association Netherlands.
Alongside the courses I organise the Shiatsu Social Club. Announcements about dates are found here:

18 & 19 September 2026: Shiatsu for Burnout with Photographer, teacher, organizer and Wudan Softie Mike Mandl from Austria
Overwork, burnout and crisis management
Are you the archetypal helper that puts your own needs last? This one is for you. But it’s not just you. It’s also a sign of the times.
So inner, so outer
so outer, so inner
The cards have been reshuffled: in times of multiple crises and constant emotional and mental overload, burnout has become the new normal. A state of deep exhaustion and inner emptiness is the modern-day norm for many people, including therapists. If we want to initiate real healing, we need to look deeper and approach the feeling of burnout differently than we did a few years ago. Addressing stress symptoms and promoting regeneration is no longer enough to face the great challenges within and without. What is needed is a comprehensive reconnection with the inner compass. A complete realignment of the basic energetic structure. A transformation from doing to being. We have to emerge with purpose and meaning to see our future bright and inviting. These are precisely the topics we will address this weekend, putting ourselves at the centre of attention.
Focus
– Contemporary energetic interpretation of burnout states
– Understanding and accompanying the structure of crises with Shiatsu
– Initiating your own healing process
– A clear treatment protocol for each individual step of inner transformation
– Precision in diagnostics and psychosomatics
