The Blue Lotus School of Shiatsu offers a 650 hour diploma
program in the science and art of Shiatsu and Traditional
Asian Medicine. The goal of our program is to train students
to be well educated and compassionate health care practitioners
who can serve the deepest potential within themselves and
the well-being of their communities. Equally important to
our program is supporting graduates with the business and
practice management skills necessary for building a successful
career and valued service in their communities.
Graduates are firmly grounded in the
fundamentals of Chinese medical theory, energetic and biomedical
anatomy and physiology, and the theory and practice of Zen
Shiatsu, one of the most evolved and widely practiced shiatsu
forms in the world today. Other Asian bodywork therapies taught
in the program are Sotai, Moxabustion, Cupping, Taijiquan,
and Qigong. In addition, graduates are well versed in biomedical
concepts essential to communicating with health professionals
from all fields of medicine and guiding others in their pursuit
of quality integrative care.
The program also provides training in the theory and practice
of dietary and lifestyle medicine. This training enables the
graduate to teach and coach clients in the fundamentals of
whole food nutrition and healthy lifestyles according to the
principles of Asian medical theory. This component of the
program is a unique and greatly needed complement to the shiatsu
therapist’s repertoire of skills. Changes in diet and
lifestyle are critical to restoring and maintaining whole
health. Combining shiatsu therapy with appropriate dietary
and lifestyle coaching enables a shiatsu practitioner to provide
a unique scope of care for their community.
