AuriculoMEDICINE: Transform to Next Level Healing 5/5 (55)

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? 5/5 (54)

 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? 5/5 (53)

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? Is money a major problem in your life? Of course, I realize there’s more to life than money. But I also know... Read more

Free Webinar: Acupuncture Proof, Placebo and Powerful Marketing 4.9/5 (61)

Have you ever had someone ask you for acupuncture proof? Or have you ever been told that “it’s just placebo”? I have, and more regularly than I ever expected I would. Clearly, word gets around that it can’t be proven, or it doesn’t actually work. Acupuncture is widely maligned in “science” and the popular press as nothing more than an elaborate, theatrical placebo. Yet, important studies refute this notion and show there is more to acupuncture than... Read more
