Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Introduction

Open to shiatsu practitioners, massage therapists and midwives who have attended a Well Mother course, unless stated otherwise.

Well Mother believes that it is important to offer on going support to everyone who attends a course. We do this in various ways. We send out newsletter, organise a web based discussion group (link to this) and also organise regular further study events throughout the year. Some of these are taught by Suzanne and for others we bring in the expertise of outside teachers. Every couple of years we organise a Residential Gathering which bring together students from the various disciplines. This is a very enriching experience.

Numbers are limited so please book your place as soon as you can. Course booking information.
