Shiatsu Massage School of California
(smsc) diplomas are
education programs offered to teach the basics of massage and extend the
practical knowledge of a professional massage therapist. The diploma programs
offered at smsc are unique in that they
combine education with practical experience. The programs are based on courses
in traditional training methods, where students learn to understand the value
and power of touch. Shiatsu Anma is a form of acupressure touch therapy.
Students are taught to understand the body’s map of meridian and pressure
points, as well as how to develop a safe and efficient massage practice to
increase their range as a healer.
Certified Massage Diploma programs are offered to those who successfully
complete all three of our consecutive programs: Certified Shiatsu-Anma Massage
Technician (Beginner-Diploma A), Certified Shiatsu-Anma Massage Therapist
(Intermediate-Diploma B), and Certified Shiatsu-Anma Specialist
(Advanced-Diploma C). Up to 500 hours of professional massage training is
available at the Shiatsu Massage School of California. Students who are
committed to the 500-hour diploma program can expect to graduate within 3-9
months, at a rate of $10 per hour of class. Our school is also certified to
provide M1 Visas to qualifying International students. During its history, smsc has graduated thousands of well-trained Shiatsu-Anma practitioners for the massage industry. Many of them now have their own private practices and see clients part and full-time. A number of practitioners also work for chiropractors, acupuncturists, spas, gyms, corporations, beauty salons, and other established businesses - even our clinic! Some of our graduates choose to work only on their families and friends. Most of our students apply their education towards their individual lives
after the program, whether the courses are taken for professional training or
for personal development. Massage in general has gained a wider recognition
among the American public in the last three decades. Anma therapy has been
practiced successfully in China, Japan, and Korea for more than 2,000 years. Our
school provides versatile programs in the field of oriental bodywork from simple
individual classes for personal growth to an extensive curriculum for
professionals. Classes are available weekdays, weeknights and
weekends. For information about when these courses are offered, please see upcoming schedule. |
