I worked as a qualified nurse for ten years, including work in a hospice and casualty. In 1991 I started a 3 year training in Shiatsu at the European Shiatsu School with Chris Jarmey. Since qualifying 16 years ago, I have attended post graduate classes with Nicola Pooley and pregnancy workshops with Suzanne Yates.
Whilst Living in Spain recently, I was involved with an independent mid-wifery group aimed at empowering women in pregancy and birth. I supported women in their pregnancy through to their births and post natally. I have been in attendance at births giving shiatsu and support as needed.
In previous years I worked at an Osteopathic Clinic in Warminster helping with pain relief in a range of problems including post operative back pain and joint conditions.
My work has also been to help clients in many other areas, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. I have experience of a wide range of issues, including:- low energy, anxiety, grief, anger, menstrual issues, pregnancy, birthing, postnatal, back and shoulder problems, insomnia, headache and feeling blocked.
"I have had many sessions with Jane and all have been powerful and healing. She is calm, efficient, caring and always seems to be in tune with what i need. Her counselling skills are excellent and I always leave her sessions refreshed, nourished and in better shape than when I went in."

"...following an op on my back a few years ago I would arrive in considerable pain and discomfort and Jane would know exactly what to do and how much pressure to apply. She was gentle, intuitive, trustworthy and a highly skilled practitioner.... she helped with my recovery."

"I first met Jane Pickard through personal recomendation when I was 12 weeks pregnant and was lucky enough to be treated by her through out my pregnancy and labour, as well as post-natally. She is, of course, a highly skilled Shiatsu practioner, but it's because this is combined with such a calm, emphatic nature and such expertise thar I found her so invaluable, especially during the birth of my son. For anyone, pregnant or not, I cannot speak highly enough of the benefits of treatments with Jane."
