Anne Burrows

Anne’s interest in Eastern philosophies and holistic health began as a child whilst accompanying her mother to Buddhist Meditation and Yoga meetings. It was here that she became aware the western view of the world, health and well-being was only one of a range possibilities, and perhaps not always the most effective.

She has continued this interest throughout her life, studying and practicing meditation, yoga, martial arts, and traditional medicine in India, Latin America, Australia and South East Asia as well as here in the UK. She has also studied western views of the body, health and healing and has gained a BSc. in Biological Sciences and Post Graduate certificates in Applied Psychology, and Education from Durham and Liverpool Universities respectively.

Anne first discovered the therapeutic massage techniques of Shiatsu through Aikido (a Japanese martial art) in 1993 and took a basics course in 1994. Practicing informally for friends and family since then, she received a Professional Diploma in Shiatsu from the Liverpool School of Shiatsu in 2008. In addition to her diploma she has attended specialist courses in ‘energetic fascia work’; ‘muscle release and structural realignment techniques’, ‘solving back problems’ and ‘making a difference to chronic conditions’. She has also worked with a number of women through their pregnancies and journeyed with others as they have made big life changes. She is committed to working with her clients to make a positive difference to their lives and her treatments are very effective and have always been very popular.

Experience

Anne is experienced in working with a range of clients including those suffering from conditions such as chronic health conditions; stress; emotional imbalances; depression and anxiety; IBS and digestive disorders; menstrual and conception problems; back, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle and other structural problems, stiffness and injuries and those in good health simply wanting to further enhance their health.

Since qualifying she has practiced Shiatsu in Mexico, Peru and Australia and has seen her therapeutic massage positively impact people on many different levels. She is committed to treating the whole person and tailors every treatment to what is right for the individual at the present time. Shiatsu recognises physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy levels and Anne works to balance all of these enabling the body to an enhanced state of balance and well being. Anne has a flexible approach that allows each treatment to be tailored to the needs of the individual.

Further to her Shiatsu training and experience, Anne has recently returned from Thailand where she gained qualifications in Traditional Thai massage; Thai foot massage and Infant and Child massage from The Wat Po medical schools of Bangkok and Chaing Mai. She is now working to build these techniques and learning into her practice and we are glad to announce she is able to now offer these treatments in addition to Shiatsu here, at Holistic-Centre.org Ltd in Little Neston.
