Acupressure vs Acupuncture
Both are based on the same principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They both use the acupuncture points (meridians) they just stimulate those points in different ways. They have a shared goal aiming to bring balance to the body, improve energy flow, and support the body in its ability to heal naturally.
Both are used to help with...
👉Pain
👉Muscle tension
👉Stress
👉Anxiety
👉Nausea & other digestive issues
👉Insomnia
👉Allergies
Both consider the WHOLE person instead of only looking at symptoms 😍😍
Acupuncture - Uses thin needles, minimally invasive, must be administered by a trained, licensed Acupuncturist
Acupressure - Uses fingers, NON invasive, with proper instruction can be self administered.
LMT's can use Acupressure to enhance their current practices and non LMT's can learn Acupressure to aid themselves and people they care about.

Here is what one student had to say....
"I took the first class Ching offered back when I was in massage school. I have to say it has been one of the best decisions I made for my bodywork career. It's given me a better understanding and appreciation of how emotions impact the body. Eight years later I'm still using what I learned and my clients are incredibly grateful for it.
Taking this class with Ching inspired me to attend TCM. I'm in my 2nd year of a graduate level medical program. The information Ching provided gave a solid foundation to start my education with. I cant recommend this course enough!!" -Adam Riggio
