Great course!

Tina Glidden

Gave me a lot of new ideas for tieing in Acupressure and Meridian Massage with a massage session. Great selection of points for focus on seniors. I had taken a hands on Shiatsu class last summer and I really, actually got more out of this online Meridian Massage class, then I did the hands on. So thank you. It is going to flow nicely with regular massage
