"I highly recommend that you attend this course if you are interested in a unique and holistic approach to facilitating others along their healing journey. On a personal level, this course presents a magical transcendence into a deep healing experience for yourself as well, which I had not expected. It is unlikely you will leave at the end of this course the same person you were at the Opening Ceremony, and for good reason "

"I couldn’t recommend the Fusion Acupressure Practitioner training highly enough. Adria Ellis is the most magnificent trainer, professional and human being, and she went above and beyond to provide her students with the highest level of training, guiding and supporting us throughout our learning difficulties, and applauding our daily achievements. English is not my first language and I normally struggle a lot at communicating with others and absorbing content. But Adria made the whole process run smoothly, and even managed to restore my long-gone confidence to become a competent professional and individual. The content delivered in this immersive training was extremely relevant, and very thorough, a rich compilation of her vast experience, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice of training in my holistic health training journey. “

"An Exceptional Teacher and Embodied Leader"
"I recently had the privilege of completing the Fusion Acupressure Practitioner Training, followed by the Advanced Training, under the guidance of Adria Ellis. Her methods of teaching were exceptional and have left a lasting impact on me both personally and professionally. Adria has a remarkable ability to explain concepts in easy and relatable ways. Her communication style is always supportive and kind, making every student feel valued and understood. This nurturing approach creates an ideal learning environment where students can thrive. Adria Ellis exemplifies what it means to be an embodied leader in her community. She teaches with unwavering integrity and sets a powerful example for her students to follow. Her dedication to her craft and her students is evident in every lesson.
One of the most significant takeaways from Adria's training was incorporating the 5 Elements Qigong into my personal daily routine. This practice has been incredibly rich and nourishing, providing a solid foundation for me to move forward in my life. It is helping me leave behind old patterns and fears of not 'being enough,' and I am profoundly grateful for this transformation.
In summary, Adria Ellis is an exceptional teacher whose passion, integrity, and innovative teaching methods have profoundly impacted my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a transformative and enriching educational experience in acupressure and beyond."

"Adria works her magic"
"Adria is absolute unconditional love and support. I could never thank her enough for helping me through the most difficult time of my life. It's so amazing to be shown the steps on finding the answers to all of life's adversity right inside myself. It sounds maybe a tad cheesy, but it's true, and to be shown this is such a massive gift. There is no where else you have to look, it's right inside, and Adria works her magic and guides me there every session. As well, Adria's acupressure helped relieve a huge amount of my chronic pain from a work related injury. When my friends and I talk about our sessions with Adria, we all agree that we are talking about the most precious jewel we've been lucky enough to find."

"Instrumental in empowering me to change my life for the better”
"I have been a client of Adria’s since late 2006. I started seeing her to assist with a succession of severe migraine attacks. These attacks coincided with starting a new job, which turned out to be a very unpleasant work environment. Using her many skills, including Acupressure, Therapeutic Massage, Counselling & Inner Guidance, Adria has helped me to identify and remedy the causes of my migraines, and assist me to find new avenues to heal myself.
With Adria’s guidance, I was able to manifest a career direction more suitable to my skill set. I now wake up everyday to a new challenge, confident that I have the ability to rise up and overcome the hurdles that I face in my life. Adria’s sensitivity and counselling skills made it easy to talk about any issues in my life, while in a relaxed and safe environment. She would always help me to find the answers within myself. This included guiding me to resources, such as books and DVDs, to further enhance me on my spiritual journey of life. Thank you Adria, your intuitive wisdom, guidance and positive energy have been instrumental in empowering me to change my life for the better."
