The emphasis of shiatsu, a Japanese-developed, harmonising therapy, is to re-establish the body’s ability to function harmoniously and strengthen the immune system. Australian Shiatsu College, founded in Melbourne in 1985, has claimed a unique place in the world of complementary healing practices by integrating shiatsu with Chinese Medical theory from which it originated. 

The college’s focus is the Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies, carefully refined to offer students holistic, comprehensive and flexible training in shiatsu modalities and the foundation of Oriental Medicine. Introductory and post graduate courses are also available.
