What Our Graduates Say
“I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed the RelaxFast Chair Massage and the Five Elements Acupressure courses at the Canadian Acupressure College. Taking these classes has opened many doors for me and allowed me to take the steps to own my own business and the opportunity to achieve the life I want. It has also instilled in me an ongoing desire and curiosity to continue learning and growing my skills, taking whichever path that might lead me. Thank you so much Kathy!” Evelyn Applin – Graduate
