Someone on my course was talking about making a little fact-sheet to give to people with questions but I think that's a big mistake. If I have someone in front of me actively asking me questions then I see that as a golden chance to explain shiatsu — to sell it! — in exactly a way that's meaningful to them. I get to fill them with my enthusiasm for it. Handing them a one-size-fits-all leaflet seems like a wasted opportunity at best — and if they're anything like me they might even feel snubbed or fobbed off. But I am highly strung :)

And heh, I was over the moon when I found bathshiatsu.com was free, and I rushed to register it... but something stopped me. A nagging doubt. So I checked the .co.uk one and lo and behold there was one of my instructors! So I was shaking my fists for a while. But at the time I was in the middle of painting a painting to remind me not to take things so seriously, and it was in my kitchen while I was working on it. I'd walk past it hundreds of times a day. “Relax... ahhh” Eventually it clicked, and I turned it into corporate branding before I'd even finished it!
