About the 5-Day Intensive

The SchoolAIT Equine and Small Animal Acupressure 5-Day Intensive is designed for students seeking professional certification in animal acupressure. Drawing from the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this immersive program combines theory, hands-on practice, assessment skills, and acupressure point location techniques.

Participants will deepen their understanding of meridian theory, Yin-Yang principles, Five-Element Theory, and pattern assessment while gaining practical experience applying acupressure protocols to support animal wellness. Whether you are pursuing certification or expanding your existing professional skills, the intensive provides an opportunity to work directly with experienced instructors in a supportive learning environment.

This program is appropriate for:

  • Equine professionals

  • Horse owners seeking a deeper understanding of wellness support

  • Veterinary professionals interested in complementary modalities

  • Massage and bodywork practitioners

  • Students currently enrolled in certification programs

No matter your experience level, the intensive is structured to help participants develop confidence in assessment skills, acupressure point location, and practical application.
