The Shiatsu School of Canada and SSC Acupuncture Institute launch their Chinese Medicinal Herbs Program
The use of Chinese medicinal herbs is a major component of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is often practiced in combination with other modalities such as acupuncture, tuina or shiatsu therapy. TCM professionals treating with herbs have tremendous success in treating a variety of conditions ranging from dermatological conditions to gastrointestinal problems to managing the side effects of chemotherapy.
The Shiatsu School of Canada and SSC Acupuncture institute offers career training in Chinese Medicinal Herbs as a direct-entry program or as a post-graduate program for acupuncturists. We are extremely excited to update you on some recent advances and upcoming launches for this program.

Director of Chinese Medicinal Herbs Program Announced
We are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Ronny Breuer MSc., Lic. Acu to this position. Ronny is currently an instructor in both our shiatsu and acupuncture programs and Senior Therapist in the school's professional clinic. The rest of the management team is confident that under Ronny's direction, the herbs component of their TCM offerings will become a mainstay of the school, much like the 21 year old shiatsu program and 11 year old acupuncture program.

Ronny will be joined by other esteemed practitioners and instructors to form the teaching team for the CMH program. Students will have the opportunity to study with Kate Kent Dipl. Ac. & C.H. (NCCAOM), Adina Stanescu C.Ac., DCHM, Chai Lien Lee and James Fu M.Sc., C.M.D.
