About Us
Canadian Acupressure College
Do you find yourself reading health and wellness magazines in the evenings? Or are you providing not only massages but also lending a “listening ear” to family and friends? Or perhaps you are looking for Continuing Competency or Education Credits to fulfill the requirements of your association?
If so we invite you to join us at the exclusive Canadian Acupressure College and turn your passion into your new career. Study acupressure or chair massage along with others who, like you, are making job changes, beginning their first career or complementing a health-care career. Become a Five Elements Acupressure Practitioner or a Relaxfast!™ Chair Massage Practitioner who truly makes a difference!
The Five Elements Acupressure program consists of an ideal mix of distance learning, online trainings, and practice hours offered bi-annually. For those of you from far-away places such as Eastern Canada, you may now study and learn acupressure from the ease and safety of your own home.
The Relaxfast! Chair Massage™ program is offered through distance learning with a combination of instructional videos, manual and textbook training and practice hours. Study this program entirely from the convenience of your home base.
