Field Work at Stress Free Event
organized by Family Services of the North Shore Feb. 1 '10

On February 1, 2010, "a stress free event" was held by CAPC, Community Action Program for Children in Partnership, with Family Services of the North Shore at John Braithwaite Community Centre in North Vancouver. This event offered healing and peace of mind to the residences of North Vancouver who have children of 0 to 6 year-old. Around 20 residences participated in the event.
After a greeting by Ms. Julia from Family Services North Shore, the event started with meditation by a counselor.  Students from The Canada College of Shiatsu Therapy participated in the meditation and they seemed to have gained focus for their shiatsu treatments which will be given later. After the meditation, the participants were divided into 3 groups and a group discussion was carried out with the counselor. They talked about the common worry of the parents who have children of the same generation and share their feelings, and advised each other.
There were booths for reflexology, aromatherapy and shiatsu treatment, and every participant experienced the various kinds of treatments. The shiatsu booth, which was set up with 3 shiatsu chairs and 2 shiatsu tables, flourished and much healing and peace of mind were brought to the participants. Each participant was given shiatsu treatment for about 20 minutes by the students.
At the end of the event, there were feed-backs from the participants, and most of them said that they want to visit our clinics to get shiatsu treatment again. These feed-backs probably made the students from The Canadian College of Shiatsu Therapy feel confident.
