What Practitioners Are Saying
This is without a doubt the best system of acupuncture l have ever learnt. It focuses on the cause of disease not the signs and symptoms. The brilliance is in the palpatory diagnosis that leads to 1 needle being selected for treatment
I have been in practice for 20 years . I would highly recommend this as a starting point to looking at acupuncture and the elements in a whole new light. It is nothing short of astonishing.
A new approach through a very fine and precise palpatory art which allows to evaluate a situation and to choose how to lift an imbalance with an immediate result.
Amazing!
You cannot put a price on what you learn. If you’ve ever felt like there was something missing from acupuncture, come home to Neoclassical Acupuncture. One needle treatments are profound.
