When he was first introduced to martial arts at age\u00a09, St\u00e9phane\u00a0Vien didn\u2019t know he was also making his first steps on his professional path. In 1980, when he was barely 19\u00a0years old, he already was at headmaster of a martial arts school. His teaching career had launched! True to himself, St\u00e9phane would not stop there. In 1983, he began his studies in shiatsu and in Chinese medicine.<\/p>\n
As early as 1985, he started his career both as a teacher and as a shiatsu therapist. In 1993, Kin\u00e9-Concept, a reputable massage therapy school in Montr\u00e9al, Canada, entrusts him with a mission: to develop a training program in shiatsu-do and in shiatsu according to the teachings of Master\u00a0Masunaga. Since then, St\u00e9phane, who still supervises the program, has been focusing on training the next generation of shiatsu practitioners and teachers.<\/p>\n
Today, with over 30\u00a0years of experience, St\u00e9phane shares his knowledge, his know-how and his social skills in Canada and abroad. In addition to the one-year education in shiatsu according to the teachings of Master\u00a0Masunaga, he gives conferences and intensive trainings on different topics: reading of the face<\/strong>, kiology<\/strong>, Peripheral reading of meridians<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n In parallel with his teaching, St\u00e9phane keeps his private practice in company of those he calls his \u201cteachers.\u201d His long years of experience allowed him to realise that it is his clients who give him the most precious teachings on humans and their ability to heal. Today, people from as far as Europe come to benefit from his expertise and his know-how.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Sensei Ohashi et St\u00e9phane Vien, circa 1980<\/p><\/div>\n Sensei Ohashi is a world-renowned master of shiatsu and the founder of the Ohashi Institute in New York.
