Tallgrass has served the human and animal community for almost 20 years through acupressure manuals, meridian charts, videos and extensive Hands-on and Online training programs. We are constantly expanding our programs and products to increase everyone’s knowledge of acupressure and other forms of energetic medicine. Our intent is to provide the best learning tools and training programs to give animal guardians, trainers, and healthcare practitioners access to this powerful healing modality.

    The goal of practicing acupressure is to restore, replenish, and maintain the natural harmony and balance needed in animal and human bodies to create optimal health and well-being.

Conventional western and eastern medicines’ scientific studies and clinical observation have proven that acupressure can:

• Relieve muscle spasms                                                      
• Build the immune system
• Benefit chronic health issues
• Strengthen muscles, tendons, joints, and bones
• Balance energy to optimize the body’s natural ability to heal
• Release natural cortisone to reduce swelling and inflammation
• Release endorphins necessary to increase energy or relieve pain
• Enhance mental clarity and calm required for focus in training and performance
• Resolve injuries more readily by increasing the blood supply and removing toxins.

    Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute offers highly interactive training programs in acupressure and other areas of Traditional Chinese Medicine for animals. Our instructors are experienced and known as leaders in their field. We have been teaching all levels of acupressure courses worldwide for many years. The Tallgrass courses are designed for animal guardians, trainers, and healthcare practitioners. We are consistently adding new learning opportunities.     

Tallgrass offers a comprehensive Animal Acupressure Practitioner Certificate Program curriculum, and people are welcome to take courses without being on the Equine or Small Animal Practitioner track. Every participant receives a Certificate of Achievement after successfully completing the requirements for any of the courses listed on this website.
