Foundational Programs

Foundation Programs are designed to teach you the basics of acupressure and bodywork – no previous experience required!

The 70 ACE program will give you basics you can work with for friends and family, the 150 Basic program is more inclusive, covering several modalities of bodywork, and the 250 hour Foundation program is designed to meet the California Massage Therapy Council requirements for Certified Massage Practitioner.

All of these programs are great for beginners and a great way to learn acupressure and asian style bodywork.

Professional Programs

Professional Programs allow you to specialize and deepen your practice and knowledge in bodywork. Students who have gone through our Foundations Programs or are coming in with previous bodywork/massage training find these programs perfect for honing their skills and reaching higher levels of expertise.

Specializations range from Advanced Acupressure to Women's Health to Sports Bodywork and more. These programs allow you to meet CAMTC requirements for certified massage practitioner or certified massage therapist, or even up to a 1000 hours of training!

Classes

The Acupressure Institute offers many formats for learning- from programs to individual workshop classes. If you're interested in taking a single class, check the class description to confirm that there are no prerequisites you must meet, and you can call the school, sign up online via Paypal, or stop by. We require registration at least 5 business days before a class.

If you later decide to join a program, you classes and the payments you've made can be rolled over to the program- the hours and payments applied towards the program.
