Acupressure is one of the most accessible self-care and clinical tools available, offering a direct way to influence the body’s energetic and physiological systems using the hands. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, acupressure works by stimulating specific points along meridians to encourage balanced circulation of qi, support organ function, and relieve stagnation that contributes to pain and dysfunction.
In this hands-on and highly practical class, students are introduced to the foundational principles of acupressure and shown how to apply them to real-world health concerns. The course explores how pressure points influence the nervous system, circulation, digestion, immunity, and emotional regulation, and how consistent use can support both acute relief and long-term balance. Emphasis is placed on clarity, safety, and practical application rather than complex theory.
Students learn how to identify key acupressure points, apply appropriate pressure, and integrate acupressure into daily routines or professional wellness practices. The class also discusses how acupressure can be combined with other holistic modalities such as herbal support, breathwork, and meditation for more comprehensive results.
