OWNING YOUR MEDICINE and ENSURING SUCCESS:
PRACTICAL TREATMENT STRATEGIES

FOR THE BEGINNING ACUPUNCTURIST

 

The goal of this series is to give recent graduates of acupuncture school confidence in how to safely and effectively treat their patients.

 

It is also ideal for practitioners who have not recently practiced, or those looking to learn new methods and are seeking community.

 

This is a great way to get PDA's locally, meet other practitioners, and deepen your knowledge.

 

The course will meet for five weeks, every other Friday, from 9:00AM until 3:00PM with an hour lunch break. Each class will be awarded 5 PDA's (applied for). Participants may take as many individual classes as they like.

 

 

 

Cost: $85.00 per class.
Where: Community Acupuncture of Mount Airy (CAMA), 6782 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19119

Dory Ellen Fish, R.Ac., has been an NCCAOM Diplomat since 1995. Her primary education and the heart of her practice is Five Element. However after 17 years and thousands of treatments, her practice has evolved and become a synthesis of Five Element, TCM, auricular therapy, and the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen, Alex Tiberi, Lonny Jarrett, Richard Tan and Debra Betts, with whom she has studied extensively.

 

Last year, she received a certification in Oncological Acupuncture from Memorial Sloan Kettering, and will complete the Advanced Oncology program in 2011.She has been a guest lecturer at University of Pennsylvania, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, FORCE, RESOLVE and Drexel University.

 

She is eager to share her many years of clinical experience in her private practice as well as the wide range of knowledge she has acquired through continuing education.

 

She is particularly passionate about helping new practitioners gain the confidence and skills needed to cultivate a practice that uniquely reflects their wisdom as healers and build their "bag of tricks". She also holds Masters degrees in Fine Arts and Photography.

Hypno-puncture

1st Thursday of Month
(no sessions this summer)
Oct 7, Dec 2, 2010 at 7-9pm

Weight Loss

 

Preregister (by end of previous month) $45
Day of workshop: $60

 

There are three reasons people eat when they are not hungry:

- habit (can be controlled with conscious will)
- emotional stress (an unconscious process controlled by hypnosis)
- body cravings (acupuncture can address these).

We'll use light, natural trance-work to speak to the stress issue , and ear acupuncture to lessen the physical cravings.

 

With this kind of support your chance at achieving your weight goals greatly increases.

 

I wanted to let you know that I'm down 10lbs. I've still got quite a good bit to go but whenever I feel off track I listen to the tapes. I also joined a local gym and am still walking every weekend with my friend. We're up to 5 miles! Keep me in the email loop. - SMU

 

I find myself making better decisions about food. I've carved out a space for exercise and I'm sleeping and relaxing better. I like my "seed" and find myself reaching for it for additional support even when I've washed it away. I'm very pleased with the Hypnopuncture sessions. ND

 

 

 

This two hour class is an experiential introduction: you'll learn about hypnosis and experience a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for you.

 

(Following through on your weight-loss regime may take a follow-up sessions. Students in this class will be eligiable for an ongoing hypno-punture support group, which you can attend any time you want support ($30/hourly session with discounts on packages of 3 or more sessions.)

 

This class sells out quickly.
Reservations Required

by emailing Max and Elise Rivers

1 hour followup groups available to graduates of 2 hour intro: every Thursday 5:30-6:30pm as low as $20/class.
