About the course

A working foundation, not a chart to memorise.

This course builds the working foundation every acupressure practitioner needs: how the body actually functions, how Ayurveda maps points and constitution to treatment, and how the traditional Chinese meridian system reads the same body through a different, equally precise lens. You leave able to explain what you're doing and why — not just repeat a chart.
