RelaxFast!™ Chair Massage Diploma

Whether you are an entry-level applicant who wishes to begin a career in the healthcare field or a graduate of other bodywork modalities the program equips you with the specialized skills unique to Chair Massage.

“I had the privilege of taking the Relaxfast! Chair Massage course at the Canadian Accupressure College and received my Diploma on June 20, 2009. I very much enjoyed the classes, presented with professionalism and at the same time a warm and caring atmosphere. The course presentation was interesting and thorough. After the classroom sessions, we had the opportunity of learning and completing assignments from home, as well as completing the externship. Kathy is consistently supportive and always ready with helpful information. This course has enriched my life. The CAC training has given me the confidence of being a professional in this field. Thank you for being there!”
