Our society lacks education about the dying process. Shiatsu offers practical and profound ways of making the dying process comprehensible.

 In this class, you will learn the Chinese Medicine perspectives on the end of life. You will learn shiatsu techniques to help ease the transition for the dying, which you can also share with caregivers and family, providing a tangible support role for them.

A CE certificate for 6 hours of distance education is earned upon completion of the course.

Purchase of the course gives you unlimited access to the course.
