ABOUT ME
Julia Schmidt
Diploma Certified Zen Shiatsu Therapist
Educated by Graeme Docherty at the Center for Shiatsu
I am a passionate Shiatsu therapist with a strong background in, and love for movement, body, and nature. Through many years as a handstand artist and instructor at the former Bachelor's program in New Circus in Copenhagen, I discovered how closely body and mind are interconnected.
​
I completed my Shiatsu training in November 2021 and am currently deepening and expanding my skills further. I am working with renowned masters in both Hamburg and Florence, which gives me even deeper insights into the rich practice of Shiatsu.
​
Presence, inner space, and what I like to call the supporting forces are central in my understanding of a balanced life and being. I place great emphasis on the harmonious connection between body and psyche. The nervous system's response to our experiences and how this affects our self-perception and life experience has become increasingly prominent in my treatments, in my own dance practice, and in my connection with nature.
​
I see it as essential to create space to be who we are, whatever that experience may be.
​
Nature is the best teacher. It opens us up and helps us rediscover our place in a larger life process and context. Nature’s quiet presence stands as pillars of an existence that is solely about being who we are. As humans, we often seek to find our worth in being "good enough" or "doing the right thing," which can make us forget ourselves amidst obligations and expectations.
​
Shiatsu, art, dance, and nature are very similar in this context and serve the same purpose: to act as catalysts for discovering what is already within us.
