Our School

Since 1976, the Acupressure Institute has offered
comprehensive acupressure trainings in traditional Asian Bodywork
Therapy (ABT) such as Thai Massage and Shiatsu massage to students
from around the world. In comparing other Acupressure schools, our
trainings provide high-quality education to support each student's
professional and personal goals, in a setting that encourages communication,
respect, confidentiality and safety for everyone. Students are encouraged
to visit our school facilities and meet with a counselor to tailor
our acupressure training programs, based on your needs and interests.
We offer training in asian bodywork and healing styles including Reiki, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Qigong Massage and Acu-Yoga with a strong basis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). You can begin your journey in healing with one of our introductory classes or a full program.
What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed
in Asia over 5,000 years ago, using the fingers to press key points
on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative
abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension
and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force energy
to aid healing. Acupressure uses
gentle but firm pressure with the same points as acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine, integrating bodywork therapies, therapeutic
touch, somatic work, healing imagery, energy psychology, and massage
therapy techniques.
