Michelle Bebbington - External Examiner
Michelle Bebbington trained as an apprentice student under direct teachings from Japan and China along with Andrew Morgan and others and is the external examiner for Yanagi Healing Arts and Clinics UK and works under our licensing team from Japan.
From an early age she was very interested in the thought of being able to help people by facilitating them to improve their health, however due to a few reasons she didn’t go to medical school and had abandoned the idea until 2002 when she decided to train in Usui Reiki. A few years later she had a very positive experience with traditional acupuncture and this convinced her that there was something in the Traditional Chinese Therapies, which renewed her interest in the health industry and sparked a passion in her for Oriental Therapies.
She was the first apprentice of Yanagi Healing Arts and Clinics UK and trained under them for a long time before the conception of Total Therapy Training. Under Yanagi Healing Arts she trained in Swedish Massage, Tuina, Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha and most of the manual therapy modalities that Total Therapy now offers and because of her early involvement in both organisations, she has been appointed Head Examiner for the UK under Yanagi Ryu. Michelle is also a Board Member of the British Acupuncture Federation representing the Acupuncture Association.
Michelle has her own private practice, and in this she works with a wide range of clients including world champion athletes, professional and amateur fighters, professional health workers such as dentists and company directors, shop workers and also housewives and retired people, doing a wide range of services such as internal organ repair, nerve repair, back pain and emotional therapy.
If you telephone or speak to Total Therapy on social media you may just speak to Michelle as she is one of the team that monitors the customer contact, we prefer to have someone who knows about the courses talking to the public so you can get quick answers and help you choose the best direction for your learning.
