ACUPOINTS FOR BODYWORKERS
As a bodyworker, I know giving multiple deep massages and physical therapy can be hard on your own body. And let’s face it, we want to give great service without depleting ourselves!
I can teach you specific therapeutic acupressure points to use during massages. Your clients will love the results – while easing your physical burden.
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Acupressure is one of the oldest forms of body therapy, originating in Eastern cultures and practiced today by Western healers. This class will provide an overview of major energetic meridians and acupoints (tsubo) on the body that when activated, can assist the body’s healing process. By using manual pressure techniques on these energy areas, massage therapists can provide more therapeutic treatment for their clients.

Bodyworker TESTIMONIALS
“I took Amie’s Acupoints class and wow, I can’t believe the immediate results I am getting with clients…they love it and so do I!“
“Learning acupressure points to incorporate into my massages is a game-changer. I now don’t have to work so hard to release tight muscles on clients when I use my “magic points”
