Su-Man Hsu
Shiatsu/Japanese facial massage
Su-Man Hsu began her Shiatsu studies in her native country of Taiwan which she continued at the
International Shiatsu School in Belgium during the mid nineties. In 1998 she moved to London and
qualified as a graduate of The British School of Shiatsu -Do. Her studies included Chinese
medicine, physiology, anatomy, pathology and sports injuries. She has extensive knowledge of the
benefits of good nutrition and deep tissue massage techniques.
Since moving to London she developed a wide portfolio of clients. These include company
therapist at some leading West End musicals and UK dance companies. She is a freelance therapist
at the Agua Spa at the Sanderson Hotel and for two years was an associate therapist at The Joshi
Clinic in Wimpole Street. In February 2002 Su-Man was recommended as the Shiatsu Therapist "to
go to" in London by Glamour magazine.
To support her work as a shiatsu therapist in 2003, she qualified as Pilates Teacher from the
Pilates Foundation UK and followed this up by successfully completing training in Ko bi
do-Japanese Facial massage at the Japanese Massage and Bodywork Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
Coming from a culture that has for centuries adopted a "preventative" attitude to good health,
Su-Man embraces an holistic approach in her practice. She considers that many health problems
are inter-related physically and emotionally. Her understanding is further backed up by a
fifteen year career as a professional dancer.

Pam graduated in Nutritional Therapy (BSc) with First Class Honours from the University of Westminster. Her subsequent training is in the form of a Masters (MSc) in Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey.

Alongside her practice she is the new nutrition presenter on the Channel 5 TV programme The Diet Doctors. Diet Doctors looks at the way that nutrition and exercise can have a significant impact on medical conditions, as there is an increased awareness that the ability to make and sustain changes in diet is central to good long-term health.
Pam firmly believes that dietary changes need to be tailored to the individual, taking into consideration taste preferences and other factors that may influence food choices. Moreover those changes need to be realistic and achievable. Relevant assessment may include consideration of biochemical deficiencies, BMI, waist measurement, energy needs, medical history, past diet history, willingness, readiness and barriers to change, and assessment of current diet and levels of activity. Pam appreciates the difficulties that people have in managing their weight and/or medical conditions and tries to forge a helping relationship with patients, looking at the options together in a collaborative manner.
