Welcome to ICT Schools
ICT Schools is a division of Kikkawa Shiatsu School Inc. that owns and operates private career colleges in Toronto and Halifax. We provide massage therapy course instruction to students at other schools in Canada and the United States. Our founders, Shirley D. Desborough and the late Mitsuki Kikkawa, established Kikkawa College in Toronto, Ontario, in 1977, which was incorporated in 1980. In 1997, we opened Northumberland College in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mitsuki Kikkawa was a Japanese-Canadian shiatsu therapist and co-founder of Kikkawa College, a private career college in Toronto, Canada. Kikkawa was born in Japan and trained in shiatsu before immigrating to Canada in the 1970s. Along with Shirley Desborough, Kikkawa founded Kikkawa College in 1977 with the aim of providing high-quality education in shiatsu therapy and other complementary therapies. The college expanded to include additional campuses in Halifax and Ottawa, and Kikkawa’s approach to shiatsu therapy became recognized as a distinct style with a focus on treating the whole person, rather than just their symptoms. Kikkawa passed away in 2015, but her legacy continues through the ongoing work of Kikkawa College and its graduates, who have gone on to become leaders in the field of complementary healthcare.
