The Samurai-Program is an easy to learn, effective training program for children and adults. It benefits health and encourages age-appropriate development, and personal safety and responsibility through touch, movement and awareness training.
This special training program has been designed in a sequence of modules to touch and activate acupuncture channels as well as our various sensory systems. The modules can be used one-to-one, with groups, or as a self-treatment if preferred. The clear structure of the Samurai training program and the easy to learn modules enable children, students and adults of any age to apply these treatments in an independent and effective way after just three training sessions
The Samurai program can be used with a wide variety of groups, from children in pre-school nurseries, through primary and secondary schools to nursing homes for seniors. The modules are specifically designed to match the different age and developmental needs of these groups. Certified trainers introduce these modules to groups and leaders at the school or institution over three training sessions. After their introductory training, participants and groups can continue these exercises and movements by themselves.

Karin Kalbantner-Wernicke is a trained Shiatsu teacher, a Physical Therapist with additional training in children’s physiotherapy, a founding member of the German Shiatsu Society (GSD) and pioneer of Shiatsu for babies and children, adapted to the current state of knowledge. Karin is an internationally recognized expert in the field of child development. Her conception of new health programs and her training, particularly in Baby Shiatsu, which she has been offering for over 40 years in training courses in Europe, USA, Japan and Australia, has made her a nationally and internationally renowned expert in the health sector.
She has devoted herself to research that combines:
• A Western medical framework, incorporating child development from a psychomotor perspective, with developmental physiology and child education therapy
• Sino-Japanese philosophy and training.
Based on this research, she developed the energetic development concept, together with Thomas Wernicke. She developed the Samurai Program, which found its way into schools, kindergartens and elderly homes in more than 10 countries inside and outside of Europe.
Karin has published numerous textbooks and over 100 publications, some in several languages including English, French, Dutch, Hungarian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Arabic.
