I am not into Nursing, but planning to do a course on Acupressure. I have seen and experienced effectiveness of Acupressure already. Now I know a few points, usage and also what is to be expected. Practitioners speaking about their experience - all that helped in understanding it as a whole. Its a wondeful course.. even if you are not a practitioner, but learn this for self care, its a great course to enroll.

Acupressure course is a very good program for all healthcare providers to take up. The presentation is simple to understand, and systemative. The videos showing the practicing acupoints makes learning easy and fun.

I loved this course; so much so that I am continuing with my studies (Integrative nurse specialist). I have always felt that nursing had lost its 'connection' with its patients and this is just what I needed to ignite my passion for my profession. East Asian Medicine is so profound and fascinating. Wonderful lecturers. Well done Coursera.

The instructors did a great job of laying out the information clearly and concisely. The class was very practical, well-paced, and the exercises reinforced the material. I came away with confidence in the subject. I wish they would do additional courses!
