Dan was highly professional and very knowledgeable about his subject, he made me feel at ease for my first ever Shiatsu treatment. The bus is fab; spacious and comfortable. I'd recommend and will definitely return. Thanks Dan.

What an amazing experience!! I wasn’t sure if this was the right treatment for sciatic nerve damage and back pain, but it has proved very successful. Dan is very professional, and the Shiatsu bus is a great idea bringing a relaxing experience to your doorstep.

I began having shiatsu treatments with Dan after being quite ill. I’d been left feeling lethargic, heavy and exhausted. I initially had 6 consecutive treatments - which were fabulous! The change in my energy levels was immediate and gave me a new sense of well-being and aliveness. I continue to book treatments every now and then & always leave feeling energised. Dan is friendly, professional & a superb practitioner. I highly recommend his shiatsu treatments.

I have had multiple treatments now from Dan and have found surprising improvements with both my mood and pain from the physical and mental therapy he provides. His recent scheme of subsidizing treatments for patients who are out of work for mental health, along with the mobility of the service have made it very accessible. I highly recommend!

I’m currently working from home and wanted/needed a massage. I found The Shiatsu Bus online. During my lunch break Dan parked on my drive ready for my session. He made me feel relaxed and the wood burner in the van meant I was nice and toasty! I felt relaxed and went straight back to work after. I had no issues finding parking or wasting time travelling - it was awesome! Thank you Dan 👍🏾😊

Second time with Dan. Completely different session to the first, but with the same chilled and relaxed results. I like the firmer treatment that Shiatsu provides. As for Dan he’s simply a nice, kind person with a relaxed attitude to life. Very safe and professional. Bringing the bus to you is a great idea, enables the positive results to continue as you don’t have to jump in the car and tackle the traffic afterwards!

Before I met Dan I used to have a sports massage at home once a month for about 8 years which initially helped with lower back/hip/shoulder aches and pains but then I stopped about 4 years ago as I felt the problem areas were ongoing and not improving…… I was weight training at the gym, getting a few niggling aches and pains, quite a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck and although yoga, qigong and meditation did help I couldn’t pinpoint the problem areas so decided to seek further help. I felt it was important for me to research different massage techniques offering a more alternative and holistic approach which fitted in with my lifestyle…and also find someone who was both professional and passionate about their work. Dan was recommended to me by a close friend and this was my first introduction to shiatsu massage. I completed the health questionnaire and client consultation form he had sent which we both went through at my first appointment. Initially I was nervous about meeting Dan as I did not know what to expect and didn’t really know much about shiatsu massage. I found his approach very calm and professional and he explained what to expect and gave me some background to shiatsu and answered any questions I had. I think it is natural to feel nervous the first couple of times when you do not know someone or their line of work but Dan came across as being very calm and understanding and supportive of his client’s needs and made me feel at ease straightaway. He is very knowledgeable and is very passionate about his work and I was interested and eager to learn more about shiatsu. I came away from the first session less stressed, more relaxed, and have slept a lot better. After another couple of appointments I found that as I relaxed more …he was able to apply more pressure to alleviate the tension within my scapulas and I have noticed that my posture and mobility in my shoulders has improved. As well as the massage Dan offered follow up advice relating to my diet, any specific exercises to do and sent me information sheets on any problem areas which I found extremely helpful. I look forward to our appointments….and because your body changes all the time Dan will ask what I want from the massage that day, as well as asking questions which focuses on your mental and physical health so he can get a better idea of your overall health. I like the fact that we have a discussion first as to how I felt after the last appointment, how I feel at present and what I think we need to focus on that day. Overall, I find shiatsu massage to be calming, a restorative and healing experience that interests me to learn more about it … I can highly recommend Dan !!! He has an aura of calmness and care, his knowledge, enthusiasm and passion come across….! 😀

I absolutely love my weekly Shiatzu massage with Dan in the Shiatzu Bus. The bus itself is amazing and Dan is friendly and very professional. If you're thinking about, think no more, get in touch with Dan he is ace😁

I had my first visit from the Shiatsu Bus in June 2020 with a persistent pain in my hip and groin area. It was stopping me enjoying the tennis and golf which I love so much and my garden which I live for. It was also painful at night. I was certain that I would be told that I might need a new hip, or that it was just "wear and tear expected at your age" ( I was 66 years old). Dan was very professional in his approach and very reassuring that he could help me. I found the service so convenient because I didn’t need to travel to see someone and Dan brings his incredible mobile Shiatsu clinic and parks it on the drive which I enjoy very much. The care he provides is second to none and I rate his Shiatsu treatments more highly than anything I have received from a Physio or Chiropractor and I have seen a few in my time. Anyway 3 months later, after following a regular exercise regime and with hands-on treatment from Dan, I was back on the tennis court and playing regular golf. I have returned to Dan for regular treatment to try to maintain this improvement. I am not completely cured. Maybe I will have to live with a few aching muscles, but I am probably 80% better and currently cope with long, energetic walks most days and I hope to continue to run around the tennis court and enjoy my garden for many years to come!

Dan led me in my first Shiatsu session and has been the only person I've stuck with. I find him being mobile really helpful as I don't drive and covid means I won't be driving for a while now with backlog of people wanting to learn. I have a bad back from time to time I have tried all different therapies for this but shiatsu seems to pin point the problem areas. It gently but effectively works on the problems. Dan is very professional and he also makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. He is very good at what he does and it shows in the way you feel after a session. I would reccomend anyone and everyone to Dan even if you have no physical problems.... It is great self care time which is what we all need. My biggest issue was my lower back, it is feeling great and I think regular sessions will be good for me to keep my physical/mental health in balance. ◦

The time Dan spent easing my back together with the helpful advice he gave me has made a huge difference and I’m back to my full exercise regime. I’m also looking forward to skiing so have bravely booked to go skiing next Christmas and will be using the Shiatsu Bus service to build up the confidence to ski again! I have found the Shiatsu Bus service to be really high quality and super convenient. I might even book a treatment with a view for my birthday next year, who knows!

If you need a great Shiatsu Therapist - HE'S HERE!! My history of back problems means I have had lots of experience of professionals working to help me. Dan has been amazing, however, with his holistic approach to recovery and maintenance and with his mobile clinic that really is a joy to use and fits into my schedule perfectly. He has not only worked on my back during the sessions, but empowered me with the tools to strengthen and maintain a balanced and healthy core, thus preventing further problems and difficulties! Keep up the great work, Dan and THANK YOU!!

Three months ago I was at a low point and in lots of pain. My fitness, pain and life has improved so much due to Dan’s skills of listening to my issues and finding the best solution through his holistic approach to health and well being. I could not rate Dan and the Shiatsu Bus service higher. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring and always seems to go the extra mile to help me. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs a first class service and highly effective treatment plan.

Before I went to see Dan I had been in constant pain for about 18 months. I tried an Osteopath and a Physiotherapist (who didn’t manage to get to the bottom of my constant nagging back pain), and a deep tissue massage which helped but it was very difficult to get an appointment with her. The painkillers I was prescribed helped temporarily mask some of the symptoms but I wasn’t happy with making them a feature in my life. I couldn’t walk properly when I decided to try the Shiatsu Bus so the home visit was an absolute god send. Dan went about finding what I wanted from my treatment and what I wanted to get back to doing most, which was to be able to keep up with my energetic daughter and just normal stuff, days out etc. which become more difficult when you are getting constant flare ups. I’m happy to report that two years on I live pain free and am more active than ever. I felt almost better after the 3rd treatment and by the end of the course I had stopped all my painkillers and got back the freedom to do what I loved most which was to enjoy an active family lifestyle. I now book an appointment on The Shiatsu Bus as and when required and I find this is all I need to maintain the work we did back then. Whenever I hear of a work colleague having issues like I did and not getting very far with a physio or a chiropractor, I recommend l them to give it a go, what’s the worst that can happen?!

Received treatment for low back pain and migraines. My overall health is improved. I now have top up sessions a few times per year. Dan is a knowledgeable and experienced Shiatsu practitioner. The Shiatsu Bus clinic has a calm ambiance and is a great place to relax, unwind and heal. A great experience, every single time.

I contacted Daniel as I wanted to relax and unwind. The night of my treatment I had the best night sleep ever! Thank you for everything to you do, you have magic hands ☺️

Dan is a brilliant Shiatsu practitioner - a true healer. He is highly professional, but in addition is just a lovely compassionate person to receive treatment from. He has made a great improvement to the pain I was experiencing, and my energy levels have improved also. I will keep having weekly sessions. As someone who worked as a therapist for many years, I don’t give my praise lightly - but I can only give Dan the highest recommendations. You are in absolutely safe hands with this practitioner, and his bus is just a cosy haven with the log burner. Just wonderful. 🙌🏻💜

After having done some manual work, I started experiencing numbness in my arms and hands. The pain was so great that I struggled with writing - affecting my work. I saw several professionals, but the situation was not improving. My full-time work also prevented me from approaching therapists that could support me. I was left in pain and not knowing what to do. I then found Dan. What attracted me to his work was that he could come to me, and he was all set up on the bus. He was also able to offer sessions that would not affect my work. I checked his credentials, and he ticked all the necessary professional credentials. I have seen Dan for months now, and my problems are finally improving. My sessions are helping me more than I expected. My general well-being has improved a lot. I found him to be very professional and considerate, especially around Covid. I always look forward to my session and miss it when I am unable to attend it. I would like to encourage future clients to try one session. I am sure that you will find it so helpful that you will come back!

I saw Dan for a treatment for a painful tendon problem around my knee which I had left for far too long before seeking help. I found the combination of his professional expertise, technical experience and reassuring manner, together with his ability to explain clearly what was wrong and to ensure that I received the correct treatment, meant that I saw real improvement as quickly as was possible with this particular type of problem. I am in my ears fifties and tend towards arthritis and some associated problems developed in my hip and ankle because I was compensating for the weakness in the knee. Dan spotted this and also helped me with these additional problems. I would highly recommend him and trying the Shiatsu Bus which I love to use because it takes all the hassle out of visiting a therapist and has enabled me to get on top of the problem without having to go past the end of the drive! Brilliant.

I found the combination of his professional expertise, technical experience and reassuring manner, together with his ability to explain clearly what was wrong and to ensure that I received the correct treatment, meant that I saw real improvement as quickly as was possible with this particular type of problem. I am in my late fifties and tend towards arthritis and some associated problems developed in my hip and knee because I was compensating for weakness in the ankle. Dan spotted this and also helped me with these additional problems. I would highly recommend him and the service he provides with the Shiatsu bus, it really does take the hassle out of visiting a regular physio or such like and the standard of care on offer really is first rate.

How many times have you said “I could do with a massage”? Well problem solved! I would like to recommend Dan and his Shiatsu minibus to melt away your aches and pains. I was struggling with my neck and shoulders and needed some gentle manipulation to relax the muscles. Dan would be happy to offer his services at your home or in a tranquil setting in the countryside. Dan will align your muscles and bones to help you make more of your everyday life and at 71 years of age, I know! Joyce Scott

In beautiful surroundings I was able to relax and talk to Dan. It's the first time I've ever booked a professional massage and I was helped to feel confortable and at ease. I experienced a therapeutic massage, reconnection and deep emotional release. It's incredible how much we store in our bodies! Dan helped to realign my body. I'm still feeling the healing take place now, which is wonderful. I'm really looking forward to another session. Thank you x
