Testimonials

I've been teaching yoga for 20+ years and have certifications in Thai Massage, Reflexology, Ayurveda, Cupping massage, Thai Hot Herbal Stem Massage, and Tuning Fork Therapy. After taking an acupressure course led by a Naturopathic Doctor who presented ear points and the use of ear seeds, I was inspired to research more online where I found the Canadian Institute of Auricular Medicine (CIAM). Once enrolled in the Ear Point Guide and having watched just two of the videos I decided that I HAVE T...

As a physiotherapist, results tend to be gradual in nature but with this auricular medicine results have been nothing short of miraculous!

...to directly apply methods used in Auricular Medicine to support our work as psychologists. Through my own clinical and training work in the area of somatic psychology, I see great benefit in the transformation of emotional resistance by clearing somatic barriers. With its basis in the nervous system, Auricular Medicine offers insights and methods for clearing physiological and emotional blockages that should be applied in today's modern somatic psychology practice." – Thasja Hoffmann, LM...

...and getting deeper impact on my patients — really enjoying the clarity and ease this medicine provides.” – Nir Saar, RAc 

...since completing my Chinese Medical studies almost 8 years ago. Dave and Muriel are brilliant, compassionate, and inspiring teachers of this profound medicine.

...there are many other practitioners that can use it! You've got people from different disciplines and they’re coming together with this beautiful system of German Auricular Medicine — and then they’re going back and practicing that, whether they are a massage therapist, or a chiropractor, or an acupuncturist. Then, they are finding their own perspectives because it has a great power in getting at the root causes of things; and a system of thinking, and testing, and getting feedback from the...

...who presented and taught in a very detailed way. I look forward to have a more close relationship with the knowledge of Dr. Bahr." — Dr. Baixiao Zhao, Dean of the School of Acupuncture of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM)  

...the patients who have tried everything. For this population we need a methodology that is effective in a short period of time and at a minimal cost. Auricular medicine allows us to accomplish this goal! We can streamline diagnosis, as well as identify and clear underlying blockages. This method has become indispensable in the clinic. It cuts to the core of the issue and results in better and faster outcomes!"  – Mark Volmer, RAc, FMP | Level II CIAM Certified Acupuncturist in Alberta

...for those patients wanting acupuncture. I love using auricular acupuncture with the Nogier Pulse, and have good results. For example last week, a patient came in with classic 'plum pit throat". I identified and treated 6 related points - and the patient had immediate relief! This is not an uncommon experience, and so rapid it fits well into my busy schedule." – Dan Eyink, MD | Level I CIAM Certified Medical Doctor in Massachusetts

With clients whose progress has plateaued, I check for blockages to healing such as scars, old injuries, hidden dental problems, pain memory accumulations, vitamin/mineral deficiencies and toxicities. For clients with multiple complex issues, I use the system to direct me to the most useful intervention. When injuries cannot be approached locally, they can be accessed via the ear. Patients appreciate the accuracy and results of this system." – Dee Brown, LAc, MAc, DiplAc, Dipl CH | Level I CI...

...and as the unique person lying on the bed. With this auricular medicine, I’ve made huge progress in beneficial results that hold longer in time. I use fewer and fewer needles. I don’t decide what to do on a person but the person’s pulse tells me where a needle is needed. With this approach I am finding that any illness or disorder, even the more complicated cases, can be treated with confidence." – Claudette Theriault, PT, CAATCM | Level III CIAM Certified Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist...

I was thrilled to find a source to learn this medicine in North America! After my first class I began to see impressive results for a variety of conditions, including release of past trauma. My confidence in approaching difficult cases has grown. I know that I can uncover and address deeper layers of disturbances. My clinical results have improved greatly as I can more comprehensively address a wide range of conditions." – Anita Teigen, LAc, Dipl OM | Level II CIAM Certified Acupuncturist in ...
