This is a one-day, Level One certification course that discusses critical interpersonal skills essential for acupuncturists to elevate their business.

It takes more than needling expertise to deliver optimal treatments.

To provide quality, effective care that is consistently sought out, acupuncturists must understand, embrace, and internalize the dynamics that affect their personal approach to treating patients.

In this class, we will discuss how both your personal and professional self-confidence play a part in helping patients achieve their wellness goals. We will deconstruct unnecessary assumptions about patients and share tips and techniques for handling confrontations and maintaining boundaries with office staff and patients alike.

Perhaps most importantly, we will delve into the importance and methods of self-presentation and projecting the right attitude and energy to elevate your business and treatment success.

Traditional Chinese Medicine knows some things about marijuana that modern medicine hasn’t discovered yet…

This course is not about recovery or addiction.

It’s about assisting a population of tens of millions of people to effectively balance their chosen lifestyles.

This is in no way a class that advocates, teaches or enables practitioners to use or prescribe marijuana.

It is an intensive course to help practitioners to understand the potential effects of excessive use and abuse of marijuana and how to treat them using TCM.

The training will give you many tools to begin incorporating these kinds of treatments into your practice, and give you a strong foundation for future development in this area of specialty treatment if you so choose.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion color=”peacoc” active_section=”none” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Day 1” tab_id=”1568665941386-21e9e241-c8d8″][vc_column_text]9AM-10:30 AM
