August in Nova Scotia is magical!
The beaches, parks, bustling streets of Halifax with street performers and music and open air beer gardens with some of the best food you could ask for!
This teaching of Prioritizing and Clearing Blockages to Healing is central to Auricular Medicine!
In this course you will:
- Build confidence in your skill in the VAS pulse as an assessment tool
- Cultivate understanding and clinical skill in applications of “Tissue Layers”
- Hone your clinical skill in the “Pre-Assessment Method”
- Learn how to find AND PRIORITIZE Blockages to Healing and their related points
- Become familiar with the use of frequencies for assessment and treatment
Pre-requisites: Level 1 and a basic understanding of the VAS pulse assessment technique.
If you are not confident yet in the VAS, it is highly recommended to join the VAS Confidence Building live course the week before. In that course the sole focus will be on practicing and mastering your VAS skills.
You do not have to be certified in Level 1 in order to attend this course - although it is highly recommended.
