Training Pathways

There are many pathways to explore on the Insight Acupressure training journey.

All of them lead the way home.

The Insight Acupressure path of study offers various levels of acupressure training for both professional and non-professionals. Our Self-Care and Introductory classes are meant for anyone interested in learning how to combine acupoints to address a wide variety of common conditions for self and to share with others. Our Professional Level courses are a progression of classes which start on two distinct paths: Clinical Acupressure or Process Acupressure. After taking the first two Foundation Certificate classes [CA1 & PA1A] it becomes evident that these two paths complement each other and inform each other. Students may choose to take the next level classes in the order that suits their interest and goals for certification or for personal growth, but eventually find they develop more solid skills when learning both paths.

The Self-Care Path

Personal Practices and Tools to Share
