Thomas first came in contact with shiatsu therapy while living in Japan in 1999. It made a deep impression on him and this fascination turned into a lasting affinity. After an international commercial career, Thomas started attending the four-year HBO Zen Shiatsu Therapy Training in Amsterdam in 2010. Both in 2015, 2017and in 2019 he guided delegations from the Zen Shiatsu Training in a study trip to Japan. During those journeys Thomas has been able to build a direct and intensive bond with the best Japanese teachers, which he still draws on every day. After graduating from the Zen Shiatsu Training, Thomas started his practice for Shiatsu therapy. In addition to Shiatsu, he has studied many additional treatment methods. Following yearly Shiatsu update courses, Thomas continues to expand and deepen his practice.
