This course is designed for people interested in Shiatsu but who are not sure they want to become students in our program. Students will attend two 90 minute classes in which an overview of Namikoshi shiatsu, and the history of the Shiatsu Academy of Tokyo and its founder, Kensen is presented. The student will be given a copy of the 2011 schedule and will be allowed to select and attend any two non-advanced courses currently being taught to get a picture of what shiatsu is about.
This also gives a new student a chance to meet teachers and fellow students. The student is also entitled to get complimentary chair, table, and floor shiatsu treatments at our student clinic, so that they will get to know the type of shiatsu they will learn should they wish to continue and become a student. If, at the conclusion of the six week course, a student wants to enroll in the Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma program he/she is then eligible to join any non-advanced course/module that hasn’t started yet. Any course/module selected and successfully completed counts towards a Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma and will be recognized as such by the school.
Toronto’s Only Evening Shiatsu Training School
The Shiatsu Academy of Tokyo’s goal is to educate and train its students to become shiatsu therapists and to encourage members of the public to practice the healthy lifestyle of the shiatsu philosophy. To this end, the Shiatsu Academy of Tokyo offers community courses in addition to its certified Shiatsu Practitioner diploma.
The Shiatsu Academy of Tokyo is the only certified Namikoshi shiatsu training school in Toronto that offers mid-afternoon and evening courses to part-time students. This gives students the freedom to hold a day job while completing a 2-year diploma to become a Shiatsu Practitioner.
Certified Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma
The Shiatsu Academy of Tokyo is a Private Career College (PCC) under the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Province of Ontario. Our programs, courses, student tuition, fees, and the professional qualifications of our teachers have all been subject to Ministry scrutiny before the school could open its doors with Ministry Certification.
The Shiatsu Practitioner diploma program is a 2-year commitment that covers 2,200 hours. The program includes classes on Shiatsu Training, Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Eastern Medical Theory, Natural Therapies as well as practical shiatsu training in our Student Clinic and Field Work. The school follows a January-December schedule.
