| About our instructors | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| MarianneTurner has evolved the practice and philosophy of Motherhand Shiatsu during her sixteen years of practice and teaching in and around New York City. Although she studied shiatsu for three years at The Shiatsu Education Center of America, what is now known as The Ohashi Institute, it was the introduction to Zen Buddhism to her practice in 1983 that began her pursuit of shiatsu as a spiritual rather than a clinical practice. In 1990 she was ordained in New York City as an Interfaith Minister, and she has since proceeded to cultivate her practice as a ministry of interfaiths. Marianne can be contacted at [email protected] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
