Webinar: How to Get the Most Out of your AcuGraph Package

Editor’s Note: This webinar was presented live in 2017. The AcuGraph features discussed may have been updated in newer versions. Have you ever bought something you totally thought seemed like a good idea at the time, only to have it sit on your self and eventually get discarded? You know, like that ab exercise machine that looked so good on the infomercial? No, but seriously, we all do it. Back when I used to have... Read more

Acupuncture Cured Angelina Jolie’s Bell’s Palsy

Have you seen the recent article on USA Today about Angelina Jolie’s struggle with Bell’s Palsy?

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?

If you look at the title of this post, you’ll see my exact response when I realized that 2017 is now over half over. HALF OVER? The thought gave me a sudden shock. Now don’t get me wrong. I know how a calendar works. But in my mind, 2017 was still new. I have plans, ideas, goals to accomplish this year, and when I realized time was half gone, I really had to stop and... Read more

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?
