UnifiedAcupunctureTheory
Level 1 and Level 2
Courses
Unified Acupuncture Theory is a way of understanding how acupuncture works. It brings the Balance Method, the I Ching, five-element theory, Saam, Japanese and TCM acupuncture into one framework, so you can use different traditions as one coherent whole.
Two-day courses, taught in person, for acupuncturists, advanced students, shiatsu practitioners and kinesiologists. Each course stands on its own. Together they build one way of thinking about the channels.
Level 1
Take them in any order. We recommend starting with Dance of the Channels.
