You can’t skip the foundation and expect to master the niche.

Before the specialty, before the advanced techniques, before the “signature style”
there’s Swedish 400.

This is where real hands-on skill begins.
The class that builds your base and prepares you to move into any niche with more confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Everyone wants the niche.
But not everyone is willing to start where it actually counts.

Start with Swedish 400.
Then build your edge from there.

Tape is one of the most misunderstood tools.

People think:
➡️ more tape = more support
➡️ tighter = better
➡️ pain = tape here

That’s not practice.
That’s guessing.

Tape is not magic.
It’s a test. A guide. A conversation with the body.

If you don’t understand what you’re seeing…
no amount of tape will fix it.

At École Setsuko, we go deeper than technique.
We teach you how to think, assess, and apply with precision

For those new followers here’s a recap of who we are .

Looking back at where we started…
and seeing where we are now 👀

More students.
More programs.
More opportunities to grow, learn, and master the craft.

This isn’t just a school anymore
it’s a movement.

And behind it all, Jenni Lee continues to evolve,
expanding the vision and raising the standard every step of the way.

We’re growing.
We’re evolving.
And we’re just getting started.

Marcia is showing us a hip rotation sequence, which is great for:
✔️ Improving mobility
✔️ Releasing tension in the hips
✔️ Supporting the lower back

Most therapists rely on strength…
But what if your body could do the work for you?

In our Shiatsu program, you learn how to:
✨ Use positioning instead of force
✨ Work with the body, not against it
✨ Create deep, effective results, without burnout

It’s not just technique… it’s body intelligence.

This is where precision, flow, and connection come together 🤲🏼

If you’re ready to upgrade your practice and protect your body long-term… this is for you.

We made a mistake in our my post yesterday… and our first instinct was to delete it.

But then we thought about what we see every day at École Setsuko.

Students learning new techniques.
Hands unsure at first.
Movements not perfect.

And that’s exactly how it should be.

Because confidence doesn’t come from getting it right the first time.
It comes from doing it again… and again… and again.

So we kept the post and made this instead.

Mistakes aren’t a setback. They’re part of the process.

This is how we adapt to life, this is how we adapt to our massage courses at École Setsuko.

Our Story

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.
