Eight Branches School of Asian Bodywork

Full Zen Shiatsuo Certification Program

In a growing awareness and understanding of Chinese medicine, what you may not know is that Chinese Medicine is really a way of life, not just a treatment modality. Health, to the ancient Chinese, was considered to be a sense of vitality in many facets of one's life, not merely an absence of disease in the physical and mental realms. You must know what balance is and strive to maintain that balance in the various facets. This core philosophy runs throughout our Zen Shiatsu program taught at Eight Branches.

Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese holistic healing approach that is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Our Zen Shiatsu program incorporates nutrition, diet, exercise and lifestyle into this hands-on bodywork. The practice and movements of Zen Shiatsu are derived from the martial arts Aikido, Taiji (Tai Chi) and Qigong with the emphasis on cleansing, moving, dispersing and strengthening the Ki (chi or energy).

Traditional Chinese Medical Theory, Five Element theory, and Zen Shiatsu Theory are the foundational theories that are taught with the emphasis on person-centered awareness. This person-centered awareness means learning how to be present with the client and developing the intuition which enables the practitioner to tune in to the client's deeper needs and to work more effectively with subtle energies.

Experience a rewarding career in helping others to become healthy and vitally alive. In learning to help others, you will benefit personally from increased health and vitality through your study of Zen Shiatsu. You will learn the same Traditional Chinese Medical Theories taught to acupuncturists. You will also learn the benefits of a healthy, wholesome lifestyle for yourself while learning to help others achieve and maintain optimal health. Throughout your studies, you will learn to create balance in your life and your body.
