FIVE DAY LIVE INTENSIVE
for the Certified Practitioner in Animal Acupressure
To complement the online / distance learning portion of the Certified Acupressure Practitioner Program, students will attend a
FIVE DAY LIVE INTENSIVE.
This will include five days immersed in hands-on acupressure study with multiple horses or small animals (depending upon your target animal), practice protocol, and review. The Five Days will include a hands-on review to affirm your knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory and Appliecation. This course is intended to broaden your connection to horses and / or small animals and your own special abilities as an animal acupressure practitioner!
The price of the Five Day Live Intensive is: $1500.
Prerequisite: Enrollment in the Certified Practitioner in Equine -or- Small Animal Online Portion of the Program
**Students must complete up through Module #5 (Energetics and Landmark Anatomy) before attending the FIVE DAY LIVE INTENSIVE.
PLEASE plan ahead to get through those modules!
See what some of our student's have said about SchoolAITs very popular Six Day Live Intensives for Equine Bodywork:
"Definitely Intense! But in a good way. I so loved getting to stay in that space and really submerging into this work without outside distractions for a whole week. I honestly think back to the energy of that week quite often and try to tap into it when I am out working on horses." Chelse, Tx
"I loved the six day live intensive and found it to be quite the journey for me! I was able to finally feel the horse under my hands and begin seeing with my touch. I also found a lot within myself that I need to work through and have been processing quite a bit since my return home. The support that Kim and Jessi provided throughout the week was invaluable and it was the first time I have truly felt safe to be myself around others. It was an experience that I honestly cannot put words to and I will never stop being thankful for it!"
"The live intensive was life altering in such an amazing way. I truly felt immersed in the whole experience. It left me feeling so much more prepared for a career in bodywork. I wish everyday could be a live intensive day just the connections and lessons were amazing. I'm truly grateful and thankful for this whole program."
"The six day intensive was a very profoundly deep and lifechanging experience. Incredible is an understatement. The instructors where so open, so kind and the entire energetic environment was on an octave of its own. It. Was. Magnificent."
"The 6 day live intensive was an incredible, truly unforgettable experience. Hands down, my favorite part of this course. Being able to connect with the instructors, other students, and the amazing animals in person was such an informative and heart-warming experience. I appreciated the way the intensive was organized and will forever deeply value what I learned and how supported I felt throughout."
"Transformative! This was a pretty magical week for me - both to feel part of a cohort of like minded people and to start to make connections between the coursework, my background and experiences, and interacting with horses in a new way. I felt like everything was starting to come together during the intensive and I left invigorated, motivated, and excited about my choice to pursue this certification!"
"Life changing- built confidence, gave me lots of experience, changed me personally and professionally"
"The six day intensive in Pagosa Springs is where the rubber met the road. Working on the horses, alongside a group of such wonderful people there was such an amazing experience in every way. The systematic method of going piece by piece with class work followed by hands-on work to apply that section of the learning process helped my brain absorb the information and put it into action in a very palpable way. I believe the way it is set up makes the learning process much more successful and long-lasting, and not so scary and overwhelming. Yet, it still covers an absolute ton of deep information. That time of learning in Pagosa Springs is hidden in my heart and meant so very much to me. "
