Birute Kubiliute (Mala)

I am a Iokai Shiatsu therapist living and practicing in Amsterdam Noord.

In 2004 I moved to Amsterdam from my hometown Vilnius (Lithuania). Here I was fortunate to meet shiatsu masters Eloise Sewell and Kazunori Sasaki. I graduated in 2012 at the Iokai Shiatsu school in Amsterdam and have been actively practising Shiatsu  since, In 2016 I started teaching at the school as well.

My passion for Oriental Medicine continued and desiring to deepen my knowledge and understanding of holistic healing I completed HBO Western Medicine basics and TCM/Acupuncture training in Shenzhou Open University, Amsterdam. Since then I have taken the year-long specialist training in Toyohari Meridian Therapy, a very refined form of Japanese acupuncture and am a member of the Dutch Branch of the Toyohari Association. I have also completed a course on the Japanese acupuncture treatment system of Dr Yoshio Manaka, using his specialist treatment methods and have taken the Shonishin, Japanese pediatric acupuncture course.
