“I have taken several continuing education courses with Hilary. Topics covered included point location, refining CSOE skills, and rapport skills, to name a few. As a result of her amazing teaching ability, I feel more competent and confident in all these areas. I have grown tremendously as a practitioner, as a direct result of taking Hilary's seminars, and plan on attending future courses she offers. I highly recommend her seminars to all CF-EA Practitioners.”
Jim Brooks

We know each Zang also has an emotion associated with it, however, when practical TCM theory is offered most emotional experiences are attributed either to the heart or the liver.

Would you like a deeper perspective? Would you like to learn the intricacies of the emotional and spiritual web of the individual and have tools to treat the different emotional and spiritual states? This Master of Acupuncture Program is designed for practitioners of other disciplines. it will introduce you to a deeper and more complete understanding of the impact of all Zang Fu on the human experience. It will broaden your treatment skills and clinical insight profoundly. Stay tuned for specific information!

Veteran's Group Acupuncture Clinic — FREE!

Association (NADA) ear protocol, proven to be extremely powerful in alleviating symptoms of stress and trauma. During treatment people sit fully clothed and an ITEA clinical level acupuncture student places five tiny needles on each ear. The recipients are invited to close their eyes and rest for 30 to 40 minutes while the acupuncture does its work. Past participants have experienced benefits such as a full night's sleep for the first time in years, and fewer bad dreams. They have also reported improved mental clarity, less anxiety and a reduction in stress.

Acupuncture is currently being investigated by the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. as a viable modality for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in returning veterans, and the military has started using acupuncture in the battlefield to help with pain.
