Biography:
Maria Serrano MRSS(T) IMSS KYI
Maria has been in the healing profession for 30 years. She started to walk the Macrobiotic path with practice and study in 1984 and was so inspired by her new way of living that she started to study body energetics in greater depth and moved to England from her native Andalucia.
She studied initially at the Community for Health Foundation (CHF) in London, graduating as a Shiatsu practitioner in 1993 at the British School of Shiatsu-do (BSS) and completing her Masters course in Macrobiotic Barefoot Shiatsu in California with Shizuko Yamamoto, Patrick McCarthy in 1994. Since then she has studied with numerous respected teachers in the fields of Shiatsu, Macrobiotics and Yoga.
She is passionate about the understanding of health and well-being from the energetic and emotional viewpoints and lays great stress on natural methods of healing. To further her knowledge, Maria has studied a wide variety of disciplines including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Counselling, Kanpo (Japanese herbalism), Chi Gung, Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, Moxa and Cupping, Thai Yoga massage, and Auricular Acupuncture. At present she is undertaking a post graduate course in Acupuncture.
Maria is a co-founder and Director of the acclaimed Holistic Quests experiential retreat programme and is a Senior Shiatsu teacher and visiting lecturer at leading shiatsu schools and retreats in the UK and Europe. Maria is the current chairperson of the Macrobiotic Association of GB.
She is a registered Kundalini Yoga teacher and is continuing the ground-breaking work of Shizuko Yamamoto and Patrick McCarty by furthering the cause of Macrobiotic Barefoot Shiatsu in Europe via a residential post graduate programme.
She runs a busy Integrated Oriental Therapy clinic in St Albans, Hertfordshire, where she offers a full range of holistic treatments including; Shiatsu, Macrobiotic consultation, pro-active Health life- style coaching, Moxa and cupping, auricular acupuncture, Japanese herbs, Kundalini Yoga therapy and one-to-one Macrobiotic cooking classes.
