My name is Louis Casteelen (born 1962). In the early 1990s, I was introduced to Shiatsu through a serious knee injury. Shiatsu provided significant pain relief and had a healing effect. I personally experienced what Shiatsu can mean for someone.<\/p>

At the time, I began a five-year professional training program to become a Shiatsu therapist at higher vocational level at the Cultural Foundation for Massage Movement Arts (CSMBK) in The Hague. In the spring of 2002, I successfully completed this program and founded my practice, Shiatsu Rotterdam.<\/p>

To this day, I regularly attend lessons with my teacher Yoshinori Miyashita Sensei (and until 2006 also with Peter Bacas Sensei (1938\u20132006)). They continue to be a great source of inspiration and motivation in an endless learning process.<\/p>

In addition, I participate annually in workshops and continuing education courses at CSMBK, covering topics such as diabetes, stress, and cardiovascular diseases. I have also completed a medical fundamentals course at higher vocational level, including subjects like anatomy, physiology, and pathology.<\/p>

For many years, I combined my work as a Shiatsu therapist with a technical role in the theater. During that period, my clientele mainly consisted of dancers and actors.<\/p>

In 2007, I had the opportunity to purchase a live-work space in Katendrecht. Since everything had to be built from scratch, I was able to design the practice entirely according to my own wishes and ideas.<\/p>

On October 24, 2009, the practice space on Brede Hilledijk was officially opened by my teacher Yoshinori Miyashita Sensei, accompanied by loud Japanese drumming and fireworks.<\/p>

Since 2013, I have been fully dedicated to providing Shiatsu treatments and teaching at the Shiatsu School The Hague<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
