Acupressure is a time-tested therapeutic practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses gentle finger pressure to influence circulation, relaxation, and the body’s self-regulating systems. In The Health Benefits of Acupressure – Part 2, students build on foundational concepts and explore practical acupressure techniques that can be applied safely and effectively at home.
This class introduces additional meridians, reflex points, and acupressure sequences used to support stress relief, sleep, headaches, muscle tension, respiratory concerns, and emotional balance. Students learn how to locate commonly used points on the hands, feet, head, ears, and spine, and how to apply pressure with confidence—even without perfect precision. The course also explores the energetic logic behind point selection and how acupressure fits into a broader holistic wellness framework.
This course is appropriate for beginners who have completed an introductory acupressure class, as well as for wellness practitioners seeking practical, hands-on tools to support relaxation, resilience, and everyday self-care.

Acupressure offers a practical way to engage the body’s meridian system using simple, non-invasive techniques that can be practiced anywhere. In The Health Benefits of Acupressure – Part 2, students expand their understanding of Chinese medicine theory while learning additional point locations, treatment strategies, and point sequences commonly used for everyday physical and emotional concerns.
The class explores how meridians function as energetic pathways, how points can be stimulated using finger or thumb pressure, and why precision is less critical in acupressure than in acupuncture. Students are introduced to key concepts such as source points, reflex zones, ear points, and governing vessel points, along with practical guidance for working with stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, headaches, muscle tension, and low energy. The course also demonstrates how points may be combined into simple sequences to enhance their effectiveness.
Throughout the class, emphasis is placed on accessibility, safety, and practical application—empowering students to use acupressure as a supportive tool alongside lifestyle practices, nutrition, and other holistic approaches.
