NICOLA LEY
Nicola turned up for her first Shiatsu class with a friend, thinking it was a martial art. The friend went to Aikido, but Nicola loved Shiatsu from then. This was in Tokyo in 1978.
Nicola is a founder of the Shiatsu College along with Carola Beresford Cooke and Clifford Andrews. The College regularly hosted Pauline Sasaki in the 80s and 90s when Pauline’s interpretation of Masunaga’s meridian system underpinned Shiatsu teaching throughout Europe.
Later Nicola studied Quantum Shiatsu – Pauline’s new work – alongside Gabrella Poli. We were devastated when Pauline died far too young and before she had fully developed her new work.
Nicola wrote “Shiatsu a step by step guide” previously called “Shiatsu in a Nutshell’. She is working on a book about her experiences of Quantum Shiatsu.
Nicola has practiced Qigong since the early 80s. She loves this practice and finds that her Shiatsu blends often with Qigong when she is working.
Nicola also loves herbs and plants. Her study and drawing of plants and herbs are her pastime.
