Sophie Bancroft
Shiatsu
As well as having completed a 3 year shiatsu practitioner training at The Shiatsu School, Edinburgh in August 2011, Sophie is a professional jazz vocalist, songwriter, music educator and has received a BSc degree in Psychology from Edinburgh University in 1988.
Sophie’s interest in shiatsu started about 14 years ago when she received shiatsu to help an acute back problem which lead to practitioner training. Her passion for shiatsu is as strong as her passion for music. She found a strong connection between training in shiatsu and that of training as a musician, which led her to study the effects of shiatsu on a professional musician’s relationship with their instrument for her final year’s dissertation.
