About Animal Acupressure Academy
Animal Acupressure Academy was created to provide a deeper, more structured pathway for students and practitioners who want to study animal acupressure with professionalism, confidence, and whole-animal understanding. We bring together online education, hands-on learning, Traditional Chinese Medicine foundations, Western bodywork concepts, assessment, documentation, and practitioner development.
Our mission is to bridge traditional acupressure concepts with modern animal bodywork, anatomy, fascia, and nervous system awareness. We are dedicated to serious learners who want to take animal acupressure seriously, support animals ethically, and integrate this modality into a larger bodywork or holistic care practice.

A Complete Pathway for Students Who Want to Do This Work Well
Choosing an acupressure program matters.
You are not just choosing where to receive a certificate. You are choosing the education that will shape how you assess animals, how you use your hands, how you communicate with clients, and how confident you feel offering acupressure as a professional service.
Animal Acupressure Academy was created to give students a complete pathway - not a partial education or a rushed route to certification. Our programs are designed for students who want to understand acupressure with depth, confidence, and respect for the modality.
Students receive over 250 online lessons, species-specific equine and small animal education, live demonstration videos, high-quality acupressure charts, in-depth Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, Western anatomy and body systems education, assessment and clinical reasoning training, protocol-building support, homework assignments, case study requirements, module quizzes, a 75-question final exam, business and documentation training, and lifetime access to course materials and updates.
For students who want hands-on refinement, the pathway also includes access to a 5-day in-person intensive. The certification pathway also supports IAHAP Board Examination eligibility, with an NBCAAM application pathway currently in progress.
This is a professional academy-style certification pathway for students who want to become skilled, thoughtful, ethical, and confident animal acupressure practitioners.
Because excellent practitioners are built through education, practice, mentorship, and a deep respect for the animals they serve.
