Open Pathways Institute for Integrative Massage

The Five Elements are often taught as a system for understanding health.
But they are also a framework for understanding ourselves.

Each Element reflects a different aspect of being human:
our strengths,
our challenges,
our patterns,
and our potential for growth.

As practitioners, studying the Elements can deepen the way we support others.

As individuals, they can deepen the way we understand ourselves.
This summer, I'll be teaching two immersive trainings exploring the Chinese Five Elements with Acupressure and Aroma Acutouch Therapy hands-on techniques.

Whether you're a practitioner looking to deepen your work with clients, or simply wanting to expand your self-care skills using the wisdom of the Elements, I'd love to share this work with you.

A deeper way to understand the body, energy, and healing

This introductory training in Chinese Meridian Massage offers hands-on techniques to working with the body through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine ✨

Through the study of the 12 organ meridians, you’ll begin to see patterns beneath the surface—how tension, emotion, and physical symptoms are all connected through the flow of Chi.

You’ll learn how to locate key acupressure points, regulate Chi flow, and integrate this work into your existing massage practice in a way that supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

This training is for massage therapists looking to expand their skillset, deepen their intuition, and bring a more holistic lens into their work.
