About Shiatsu
Shiatsu Therapy originating in Japan and having roots in China, has had a considerable surge of popularity in the West. Shiatsu, Japanese for "finger pressure" involves applying pressure to areas - meridians and points - tsubos located all over the body. Shiatsu offers a safe, natural, drugless way of facilitating change and is a viable therapeutic modality and branch of complimentary medicine. The ability to reach out and touch someone, to make a difference and to take health in your own hands is at risk of becoming a lost art in our fast paced modern world. Earth Shiatsu®
Earth Shiatsu® is a synthesis of martial arts, exercise, meditation, nature awareness and Shiatsu theory and practice. This system provides a powerful and unique approach to Shiatsu which focuses on using the Ki of the Earth. Earth Shiatsu® provides a restorative, calming treatment for the receiver as well as rejuvenating the giver. Career Opportunities
Shiatsu provides a rewarding career doing meaningful work. Practitioners can have an independent, flexible schedule working in situations ranging from running a private practice at home or at your own clinic, doing corporate work and outcalls, working in a spa or hotel or working in a clinic with other health care practitioners. Graduates of the Shiatsu diploma program will receive a certified
designation- E.S.T. - Earth Shiatsu® Therapist and are qualified
to work professionally as certified therapists. In Ontario, Shiatsu
is not a self-regulated profession. Shiatsu therapists working locally
in Toronto are required to be licensed. Graduates from the Diploma program
are eligible for this license. The accepted worldwide minimum educational
standard for Shiatsu training outside of Japan is 500 hours (England,
Europe, U.S.A., Australia.) |
