Steve Rogne

Director, AOBTA CP, Diplomate ABT (NCCAOM)

Steve Rogne is a Diplomate of Asian Bodywork Therapy (NCCAOM), Certified Practitioner (AOBTA) and has been studying movement education and bodywork since 1998.

With a background in Music Theatre, Steve is familiar with the whole range of human performative expression: movement, music and action. His goal is to make himself and others into well-tuned human instruments, capable of responding to life freely and fully.

Steve became the Assistant Director of Zen Shiatsu Chicago in 2003. Over three years he committed himself to development of the school’s infrastructure and credentials. Under his guidance the school became a member program of the AOBTA. Since taking over directorship in 2006 he has been deepening the school’s commitment to vocational training - achieving state certification as a vocational school, and securing student loan programs for students - while expanding the center as a community wellness resource.

Steve is a regular lecturer at Columbia College and currently serves as the President of the Illinois Chapter of the AOBTA.
