About this course
Amanda has extracted the key lectures from her Certificate Foundation course on the pure subject of auricular acupuncture and its role as an important acupuncture microsystem.
This online theory course will include online practical training and is designed for those already practising acupuncture but wanting to learn more about auricular acupuncture as a full microsystem.
You will need to attend 1 day with Amanda in her clinic to learn how to clinically apply what you have learnt.
(*Please see our note on NADA certification below if you just want certification for the 5 point protocol and are studying acupuncture for the first time.)
You will learn a little about the history, lots more about traditional Chinese medicine concepts and a wealth of protocols and how to then create your own bespoke treatments.
We cover everything from combatting stress, headaches, body pain and so much more.
This course will take your knowledge of this subject to a new level. A perfect tool to combat health issues arising from this pandemic.
Amanda will show you how to treat yourself and those you care for.
FURTHER FINAL CUT RECORDINGS SPECIFIC TO THIS COURSE WILL SOON BE UPLOADED. FULL UNLIMITED ACCESS.
*We also offer NADA certification in collaboration with Mark Dyer; Bsc (Hons) MCS, MCSP, HCPC, AACP, MAcS, CNHC, Non-Medical prescriber.
Students enrol onto this course for the introduction and theory of auricular acupuncture and its role in clinic presentations through online learning and assessment.
To gain the full Nada certificate a one day face to face assessment seminar is to take place post passing the theory element.
Assessment day will require the student to have 6 hrs contact with pre-written case studies to present and clinically reason point selection and appropriate approach according to the clients needs.

Additionally; the one day assessment with include safe systems of work, PPE levels (COVID safe), client subjective and objective assessment as appropriate for grade of therapist and execution / delivery of treatment.

Amanda has a wealth of clinical and academic experience spanning 20 years. Her passion for using microsystems acupuncture to its full potential is demonstrated by her involvement in founding the Microsystems Acupuncture register for the CNHC.
Amanda wants you to know that "Seeing patients achieve instant relief to pain or stress and able to leave the clinic relaxed and happy is one of the best rewards"
She adds "I have always dreamt of teaching this subject in more detail and to empower others. This online platform has enabled this to be possible."
As the 'verifying body" I am delighted to be able to assist acupuncturists without the required specific training in a microsystem to join the CNHC."

My background is of a military one where i have served overseas tours, inc of Iraq. I have also served within the prison system, so i am very accustomed to both physical and behaviour traits that clients may present both pathophysiologically and emotional. I fully believe treating and enhancing our bodies systems with these available adjuncts creates ones homeostasis to wellbeing and an optimal recovery from illness or disease.

"Congratulations on your new Academy! It looks wonderful! I am excited to hear more, you are my very favorite teacher out there so will look forward to further teachings from you!"
Such lovely feedback on the new online courses and live sessions!
The course was great... I learned a TON and have already been able to offer new services to my clients. I can’t wait for more practical instruction when COVID is over (or via the web if that becomes an option).
