Learn how to alleviate common ailments of today's fast-paced life with an innovative method of healing that combines Acupressure, Self-Care, and Lifestyle Adjustments - the Meridian Massage Approach.
Meridian Massage is a holistic approach to health and happiness based on Classical Chinese Medicine and Taoism (the root of Classical Chinese Medicine). The Meridian Massage Approach combines hands-on contact with acupressure points and meridians, self-care practices, and lifestyle adjustments.
Anyone can learn and practice the Meridian Massage Approach:
- Professional health practitioners integrate the hands-on work with acupressure points into their existing skill set.
- Individuals (and professionals) bring lifestyle adjustments and self-care practices into their daily lives to promote their health and happiness.

Thank you to Cindy and Staff - a joyous experience!"

"Meridians, Acupressure points? They confused me. Then you have elements, colors, seasons and feelings. What? I didn't even know that existed.
We had enough small review sessions so that we were actually able to secure what we learned. Each student experienced different levels of changes over the 3 days, a lot were physical and some were emotional. Meridian Massage really works! Cindy keeps you engaged and learning really fun. I was totally blown away where this journey took me. If you need a new direction, this is for you. Thank you"

"You are a great teacher, Cindy. I can tell you that! I also teach ( chemical engineering). But no matter the subject, I think, 3 things are needed: knowledge, good communication, and passion. And you have them all.
I have been studying the meridians for many years from different sources, mostly books. With this training, I have been able to wrap it all and apply with more consistency and confidence. I plan to continue my studies as soon as I complete the final exam. Thank YOU"
