| « I have taken the chair massage course and am enrolled in the acupressure class, and I have to tell you that it has changed my life! I am a mother of 4 young children 3–9 yrs. and we have a busy house. The college offers the flexibility I need to take care of my family and work toward a career. Studying they considered it a bonus because I practice on them. Kathy is a remarkable teacher that has been very understanding and supportive. Five Elements Acupressure is a art. Magical points that offer comfort and support, to all that are willing to try it, also the best part I think is, it enables the practitioner to recognize and evolve our own emotions and fears. Yes, this program has changed my life and therefore the lives of my children. Like the beautiful ripple in the pond. I am currently Practicing 2 days a week and creating more interest everyday. As my family grows I hope to increase available days, but maybe not. » Julie Day [2007–08 class] |
The Five Elements Acupressure Program is a blend of Worsley Five Element theory, Jin Shin Do system of acupressure, Neurolinguistic Programming, Hakomi theory, Emotional Freedom Technique and more, where the acupressure points are accessed from a physical, emotional and spiritual approach. Anatomy and physiology, communications, ethics and business courses are an integral part of the program to enhance the development of professionalism and success in setting up a practice. An indirect supervised clinical practicum is ongoing throughout the duration of the training for guidance and consultation to ensure confidence upon graduation.
Acupressure is a system of balancing the body's energy by applying finger pressure to specific acu-points on the meridian pathways to relieve tension and increase circulation. The client remains clothed and lies on their back on a massage table with the practitioner sitting at the table. The stimulation of acu-points can strengthen weaknesses, relieve common ailments, prevent health disorders and restore the body's vital force.
Five Elements is a complementary health-care approach that views the human being as a microcosm of the Universe through the eyes of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. This offers the client and the practitioner a fresh look at the links between the seasonal cycles and their body, moods, climatic conditions, foods, home, colors, and much more.
Through a dynamic mix of distance learning, classroom training and clinical practicum (externship), the Five Elements Acupressure program has been developed to accommodate students from varied geographical areas across Canada. The student directs the pace of the program based on their particular needs. Entry into the program begins with either the distance learning or the Basic Jin Shin Do® classroom training.
Upon graduation participants will be qualified to offer their skills to the general public as a Five Elements Acupressure Practitioner in either a self-employed private practice or as an employee of a multidisciplinary clinic.
