Reflections on Seiki Practice - with Alice Whieldon

Welcome to the second interview in a series with female leaders, teachers and practitioners in the holistic therapeutic fields. These are women whose teaching has inspired me and I have been keen to learn more about their personal philosophy, experiences and the influences on their professional practice. I hope you enjoy hearing their story too! Let us know your thoughts, Nicole. 

Profile: Alice Whieldon, MA PhD SFHEA MRSS(T)
​Alice has spent her life researching the keys to what helps in finding fulfilment and acting less from old traumas and patterns.  In 1985 she came across Shiatsu and it was this work, along with the Enlightenment Intensives, that struck particularly strong chords for her.  She has remained a student of both disciplines ever since.

In 1997, she also met Kishi Akinobu, internationally renowned Shiatsu master, however, in 1980, Kishi began to develop his work in a new direction called Seiki  which is within the Shiatsu tradition and a development of that work. When Alice met Kishi she recognised the key she was looking for.  When in 2008 Alice suggested they write a book together, Kishi was keen on the idea and Sei-ki: Life in Resonance, The Secret Art of Shiatsu was published in 2011. Kishi died in 2012 but Alice continues to work with Seiki. 

​She has also spent time training in and practicing Mind Clearing.  Mind Clearing is based, like Seiki, on the principle that there is an essential person that is not the mind and not the body.  In 2016 her book, Mind Clearing: the key to mindfulness mastery was published by Singing Dragon, London and Philadelphia.
