Setsu-ko means “touching energy”. It was my grandmother’s name passed on to me whose meaning I never understood until I began this work. As a trained dancer, I used my body as my sole vehicle for expression, communication and technique. I received my first massage at the age of 16. It was then that I knew my purpose in life; to make people feel as good as I did in that moment. For over 17 years I have been working with clients, expanding my practice, travelling, teaching and learning new techniques. It is my passion to share my experiences and insights, while ‘bridging the gap’ between the old generation and the new. To bring back ancient teachings and cultural traditions that has healed families for centuries.
Our unique approach to learning includes a multidimensional awareness to health, wellness and balance. Each educational component is accompanied by an IN-body, somatic experience. In this way, combining physical, emotional and the energetic/spiritual aspects creates harmony and balance. Without this awareness, the dis-stress in our lives, can eventually show up as physical pain, emotional unrest, mental instability or a diagnosed dis-ease.
This school provides a safe space for self-discovery, outreach and transference of knowledge. Our clinic level will offer consultations and bodywork sessions within the community, bringing relief to those who suffer from ailments and imbalance and who cannot afford the costs of private holistic therapies, while giving our students a chance to gain hands-on experience, confidence, and communication skills which will be supervised by the teacher.
Ecole Setsuko is a holistic health education school that offers both workshops for general interest and full certification programs in the field of natural therapy, massage therapy, acupressure and energy work. Located in Montreal, Quebec for our on-site teaching clinics and in person training, we can also access a larger audience by offering online trainings.
