“My experience with Canadian Acupressure College was positive right from the start. Kathy was very helpful with information and support even before the classroom time started. The classroom is a small setting, which is great for all the one on one time the instructor can provide, and class discussions. It is hands on from day one and the information that is taught is life changing. I am proud to be a graduate of Canadian Acupressure College, and I am also proud to bring those qualities I was taught, like compassion, professionalism, and understanding into my own practice. It was a great experience, one that has changed my life ... in a positive way.”
  Patti Parton – Graduate

“The Canadian Acupressure College is unique in many ways, the most noticeable being that Kathy understands what she is teaching well enough that she can explain the topics in different ways and uses different teaching techniques depending on how the student best understands it. The courses are very comfortable so that asking questions is never an issue, neither is making sure that everyone understands before going on.”
  Eric Zinman – Graduate

“I am using my excellent acupressure training in some very unusual ways. Last week I was called in to assist as a “doggie doula” with a registered dog that was high-risk, giving birth to a very large litter! I used points for calming the dog initially, and then later the points for aiding delivery. As you know, I am interested in expanding my practice to include veterinary acupressure as well as working on people.
I also regularly end up working with people to lessen their symptoms of colds and flu, and all the common diseases that are making the rounds. I think that all the practice sessions we did in class, as well as the externship, help me now to be more able to quickly assess what is needed and jump right in. I guess I just wanted to say “thank you” for all the good things we learnt from you!”

“The Canadian Acupressure College is a wonderful balance of hands on training and textbook knowledge. Kathy de Bucy really provides an open discussion environment where you can, together, make sure that you are being accurate with your points and confidant in your touch. Providing herself as a continuous resource during the externship you can’t help but feel as though you are fully supported in your decisions as well as your future endeavors. The results; one more alternative healer helping to change the world one imbalance at a time. Thank you C.A.C for all the information and training you provide to your many avid students. Under your instruction I will feel confident in being a successful and accurate practitioner.”
  Sandi Martens Carpenter – Student

“I have now graduated in the Relaxfast Chair Massage and Five Elements Acupressure diplomas. I found the college premises to be comfortable, fully equipped and professional. The college provided the best environment to make each day a wonderful challenge in my studies.
Kathy de Bucy is very competent and professional in her teaching style and methods, and made studying with her a truly inspiring experience. She has instilled in me a great sense of purpose to create a successful career path. I will be recommending the Canadian Acupressure College to anyone who approaches me for advice in where to begin a similar educational path.”
  Richard Morton – Graduate

“In my dealings with the College, I have been tremendously impressed with the level of professionalism consistently demonstrated in classes, in business meetings and in routine program enquiry. The instructor(s) have a deep knowledge and passion for the subject matter, which is reflected in the high quality of courses delivered. I’ve noticed in my program that the College is always looking for opportunities for continuous improvement and evolves and updates courses to ensure the most up to date information and teaching materials are being introduced to students. The overall program and the courses within are extremely well laid out. I know I am receiving the best possible experience with the Canadian Acupressure College and would highly recommend it to others interested in pursuing this field of study.”

“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

“Kathy de Bucy is an excellent teacher who is passionate about teaching acupressure and the five elements. She provides both the theory and the hands-on experiential learning needed to become proficient in these modalities. Thank-you Kathy for providing one of the most rewarding educational experiences I have participated in during my career.”
  Christine Dearman, DMD – Graduate

“I found that the qualities of the program presented on the website not only matched but surpassed my expectations in the quality of instruction of the course content combined with hands-on practice in the classes. I feel that the Diploma group I was a part of found a good balance of learning from one another and individually, allowing us all a rich learning environment and experience. The distance courses on Ethics, Communication, Anatomy, and Business serve the in-class sessions well because their content blends with the lectures, discussion, and hands-on learning.
My experience as a diploma student with the CAC was further enhanced by the opportunity to volunteer as an assistant in the courses, during the lectures and hands-on practice. This opportunity is a vital part of the College’s dynamic relationship of support and growth for its students and graduates.”
  Melanie Cook – Graduate

“What an amazing journey this has been! I did not know that when I signed up for acupressure in 2006 that it would open me up to my hidden passion. My passion was further awakened when I needed to complete the externship program. I was now to assist clients from various walks who were not family relatives. There were lots of fears and concerns about if I had enough knowledge to do this work. The pulse of each client has its own signature language that spoke of the person’s needs and I felt connected with this tool. I saw the power of the meridians at work with patients and they felt it as well.
Kathy had invited me to assist in one of the acupressure classes in April 2010. I was very nervous but to my surprise, I realised then, how much I had grown in 2 years. I have now signed up to further continue my education towards my Acupuncture and Phytotherapy licence.”
  Laynah Lafond – Graduate

“I fell in love with Five Elements of Acupressure my first day of class at the Canadian Acupressure College and signed up for the diploma program. The program was so well organized with both distance and hands-on learning as well as small class size that ensured individual support to each student. I really appreciated the professionalism being taught at CAC. The training I received was excellent and I feel competent now in my first year as a professional as I build my clientele.”
  Jennifer Aston – Graduate

“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!”

“I'm really amazed how the Five Elements theory has as much impact as an acupressure session for some people. 1/4 of the people in the work place have never had bodywork. With the Relaxfast! Chair Massage they receive an acupressure massage which is easy to accept for some — but what they don't expect is to have it related to their body in an elemental way, so there are lots of "firsts" leaving a big impression — therefore changing a small or big part of their momentum in Life.”
