Webinar: Seal the Deal with Auriculotherapy

I’ve always thought of myself as pretty great when it came to ear acupuncture. That was until I figured out how much I DID NOT KNOW. It takes a lot more than memorizing a handful of really great point locations to become an amazing auriculotherapist. How I see it, there’s a difference between auriculoTHERAPY and auriculoMEDICINE. In fact, there are some practitioners that use ear acupuncture ALONE as their only treatment to resolve really difficult diseases. Imagine... Read more

Are you Kidding? How did that Happen?

AuriculoMEDICINE: Transform to Next Level Healing

Did you know there is a difference between auriculoTHERAPY and auriculoMEDICINE? I didn’t really understand this until last year, when I did training with Dr. Nogier. A couple of weeks ago I got an email from an average person who wanted to know if the Auriculotherapy Success Seminar was right for them. Here’s how the conversation went: Hello. I’m not an acupuncturist, but I want to know more about treating ears. I use pressure points... Read more

Webinar: AcuGraph – Why Does It Work?

 I was 8 years old when I watched Star Wars the first time, and that’s when I decided to build a robot. Out of a trash can. Powered by a car battery. OK, so maybe I’m kind of nerdy. Just like R2-D2, right? Don’t judge. Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve always loved the engineering side of things. To tell you the truth, that’s what attracted me to acupuncture in the first place. But I also realize most acupuncturists... Read more

Are You a Negative Statistic?

The Economics of Acupuncture Failure You’re a good acupuncturist. Well-educated, dedicated and passionate to be sure, but are you successful? Now, I don’t mean success, as in serving humanity and helping people get better. That’s a given. No, I mean, are you making a living at it? Can you pay your student loans?
