Michael Blate

Michael’s first book, pubished in 1978 — The Natural Healer's Acupressure Handbook — introduced this easy, effective technique to the US. Since then, G-Jo Acupressure had been taught in classes, workshops, schools, hospitals and universities around the world.

Known to millions as "The Guru of Acupressure," Michael has been a frequent contributor to numerous magazines and has appeared on nearly 2,000 radio and TV talk shows to introduce audiences to the amazing healing powers and spiritual potential lying within each of us.

Michael taught G-Jo Acupressure continuously to health care professionals, martial artists and lay people through The G-Jo Institute, the natural health education organization he established in 1976. He continued to publish books in the field of natural health throughout the 1980's and 90's, and in 1995, Michael created our Master of G-Jo Acupressure Home-Study Certification Program. Since then, we have certified nearly 4,000 students from all walks of life.

Since 2002, Michael was an approved continuing education provider by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. He was also a Certified Master Acupressure Instructor with the Natural Therapies Certification Board.
