Shiatus Massage Class on Tatami (New) June to July 2011
Shiatsu massage course on tatami (mattress) is a brand new course that I have created this year, some of the techniques (used for professional massage table) has been modified for easier practise on their own bed or with mattress at home. I am glad to be able to organise this class and happy to know that both students had a great time during lessons and I am really impressed by the "assessement" they have attended with remarkable result after 4 weeks of lessons with me. Keep it up and keep practising!
Shiatsu Massage Class March 2011
I remember I was in Chiang Mai having my retreat and after multiple exchanged of sms we finalised the schedule and started this new class. They both have the same objective of learning this skill to treat their family members. With that noble thought I improvised many other techniques to make it much easier for them duirng lessons.
Shiatsu Massage Class July 2010
To me, having this intensive Shiatsu massage class (11th and 12th July 2010) was definitely more exciting than the World Cup Final. Even though she was unwell and much smaller size than him, her determination to master all techniques and using all her effort and energy during the class were definitely inspiring. Performing massages are not about how strong you are but how you correctly and accurately apply the techniques with the correct postures.
Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage May 2010
In this class, both students are young professionals and would like to pick up massage lessons to pamper their loved ones as well as a hobby. Initially, both were very shy but shown high level of seriousness and attentiveness in class. After third lesson, they actually produced very good massage flow and rhythm throughout the whole practise. From my observation, both students kept adjusting their positions in order to master those massage techniques in good posture habits. This really make me proud as it is one of the most important factors when learning such holistic practise.
Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage April 2010
It has been such a pleasure and honour to meet this wonderful lady with full of passion and charisma. It is a 2 days of Swedish and Deep Tissue massage lessons as we couldn't find another partner for her. Being a professional dancer herself, she learned really fast and with very good posture and flow. I really salute to her enthusiasm and seriousness that she managed to arrange 3 models for her lessons in 2 days. Keep up the positive spirit and I am sure she will perform very good massage work sooner or later. Well done!

From 20th July to 8th August 2009, I was assigned to teach A&P (Anatomy and Physiology) class for another batch of CIBTAC students who are taking their diploma examination in October 2009. The most challenging part for this batch was I need to conduct the class throughout in bilingual (English and Mandarin) as there were some students from China who totally do not understand English at all. But with the help of the Mandarin referrence book and notes that provided to the students it did not really affect the pace of the progress and the understanding of the subject for the whole class.

In the initial stage of the lesson, he is rather shy and uncomfortable but after he started to follow the massage sequences, I can see his potential in this form of massage.
