Throughout the whole training you will work on other students and teachers, the final step to graduation is clinic, where you will start to take real clients while being supervised. This will give you the opportunity to practice while knowing someone is there to help you if needed.

We are a small school, we believe in small classes so that each student receives the individual attention they need, We do not work on a one way structure, We understand everyone learns differently and at different paces, for example you could be an amazing student, learns quickly, homework always done but come exam time you go blank, we understand that and will work with our students to find a solution for them. We are also a holistic based school, we want to do more then just teach you a new profession, we want to help you evolve to a new way of thinking and living. Working in a holistic field is much more then learning a new technique, we strive to bring out the best in you and offer you an open and safe space for self-discovery along this journey. We also pride ourselves on the quality of education, we seek out the best of the best in our teachers, our teachers have many years’ experience and have a true passion for what they are teaching. For our school we will never sacrifice the quality of education just to turn out graduates. You are more then a number at Ecole Setsuko you are a part of a family.

NEW LOCATION

Great news from Ecole Setsuko! We’re expanding and adding an exciting new location on the West Island of Montreal while keeping our beloved NDG school going strong. This new spot is bigger, which means more space for all our students, awesome new workshops, and the opportunity to offer diplomas like Swedish Massage and Shiatsu more frequently. 🙌
 
We’re getting our new location ready and can’t wait to share photos with you in the coming week. To celebrate, we’re hosting an open house to welcome our students and introduce ourselves to our new neighbours. We’re all about community and providing quality education, just like we’ve been doing in NDG for almost 20 years.
Stay tuned for the open house dates; we’ll announce them as soon as we’re all set! We’re super excited about this new chapter and looking forward to meeting many new students.
 
Find us at the new address: 1564 Chem. Herron Suite 208, Dorval, QC H9S 1B7. It’s super convenient – right beside Pine Beach Train Station, a mere 30-second walk from the train, and the 211 bus stop is right in front of us! Plus, we’re just off Highway 20 with plenty of parking available.
 
We can’t wait to embark on this adventure with you all!
