The Elemental Acupressure Certification Program
The Elemental Acupressure
Certification Pathway
Your step-by-step journey to professional expertise in Elemental Acupressure.
This page walks through the Elemental Acupressure Certification Pathway level by level: what each one covers, the courses included, and what you’ll be equipped to do when you’re done.
The Program has three levels of Five Element acupressure and EnergyWork™, each a full-bodied, professional-level training built for people serious about their animals and how they serve them.
Level One lays the foundation, Level Two brings you to Professional Practitioner Certification, and Level Three takes you to advanced levels and then, if you choose, into teaching Elemental Acupressure in your community.
Each level stands complete on its own and builds directly into the next, so you can enroll level by level or commit to the full pathway from the start. Wherever you begin, you’ll leave with skills you can put to work immediately, not just theory.

Congratulations! Once you’ve completed your courses in the Foundations of Elemental Acupressure level, you’ll have real, hands-on skill: techniques you can put to use with the animals in your care right away, not just ideas you’ve read about. For most students, you’ll know you want to keep going and Level Two is exactly where you go next.
LEVEL ONE
Foundations in Elemental Acupressure
Every meaningful journey begins with a strong foundation — and this is yours. In Level One, you’ll immerse yourself in the core pillars of the Elemental Acupressure Method: Five Element animal acupressure and bodywork, EnergyWork™, and species-specific anatomy. By the time you finish, you’ll have the knowledge, the hands-on skills, and the quiet confidence to work with animals gently, effectively, and with genuine understanding.
Level One stands beautifully on its own as a complete introduction to the Elemental Acupressure Method — and it’s also the natural first step toward professional-level Certification. Wherever it takes you, you’ll leave with skills that make a real difference to the animals in your care.

LEVEL TWO
Professional Elemental Acupressure Practitioner – CEAP
Level Two is where your practice goes deep. Building on your Foundations training, you’ll dive into applied Five Element theory, work with a full range of animals and conditions, and develop the kind of intuitive, nuanced insight that only comes through mentored practice and real-world cases. And because a thriving practice takes more than clinical skill, you’ll also receive dedicated business training to set you up for success after graduation.
This is a rich, supported journey — with guided practice, individualized mentoring, and a learning community that grows alongside you. By the time you reach the Professional Program Certification Exam, you won’t just be ready — you’ll feel it. The exam is designed to honor the expertise you’ve genuinely earned and formally certify your readiness for professional practice
