Welcome to Shiatsu College Montana
This course is designed to develop intuitive hands that listen and heal, hearts attuned to cosmic energy, minds enriched with ancient wisdom, and practitioners ready to hold space to facilitate transformation and healing in others.
The curriculum covers Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, Five Element theory, the meridian system, shiatsu technique, diagnosis and treatment. Our in person weekends are largely experiential and hands-on to truly embody the medicine we study.
Our program teaches Shiatsu in a hybrid format combining online coursework and in-person workshops over a year and a half. We meet in person roughly one weekend per month for a total of 16 weekends. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for AOBTA practitioner status and begin practicing upon successful completion.
Enrich your life with the exploration of a natural and ancient healing modality. Dive deep into self-development as you gain a new lens to view the interconnectedness of the universe. Establish a rewarding and fulfilling career. Embark on a path that aligns with your passion. Your story starts here.
In-person weekends take place in Missoula, MT.
The next cohort will begin September 2026 and graduate in June 2028.
Prior coursework in anatomy, massage therapy, or Chinese medicine may apply as transfer credits.
Tuition for the full course is $9,000. Pricing details are available in the prospectus.
