It’s Elementary! PRO edition

This course starts at the beginning. We’ll take a look at how Classical Chinese Medicine describes five different Types (archetypes or temperaments) that make up an animal’s being. Then we’ll see how those archetypes influence the health and behavior of the animal at the very deepest levels.

By the time you reach the end of the course, you’ll see how the five Types play out in both large and small animals (as well as humans who care and interact with them). You’ll also have practical tools from acupressure to training strategies to help the animals in a professional animal related practice thrive.

And we’ll do this all by keeping everything clear, practical, and ACCESSIBLE while also giving special insight for the animal professionals.

You’ll learn

• How to identify the Five Element profiles in an animal so that you better understand the animal’s unique and wonderful nature
• Acupressure Points that support each Element profile so you can use simple touch points to help the animals in your care feel great
• Customized training approaches for each of the Five Element Types so learning and training becomes easier and lower stress for BOTH the animals AND YOU
• How to make simple lifestyle changes that support an animal’s unique health and happiness needs to that you can skip formulaic solutions that aren’t working and focus only on what a customized approach that REALLY works for the animals in your care (for amateurs and pros)

Video Instruction

• Videos showing point location on horses and small animals – SO much easier than learning from a book!
• 3+ hours of video instruction covering Five Element theory in a way that is quick and easy

• How-to manual of basic acupressure techniques
