Five Element Acupuncture Training
When I was growing up there was an advert whose tagline was 'I liked it so much I bought the company'. You can't buy the company in this case, but a number of people who've had Five Element treatment have been so inspired by the results that they decided to change career and train to become a practitioner. I am one of those. Twenty three years after starting my training, one of my passions is to pass on this ancient system of medicine to those who wish to embark on a fulfilling career of helping others while constantly learning and growing.

Who can be a Five Element Acupuncturist?
Anyone!
-
It is not necessary to have an academic background. We offer a practical course based on apprenticeship instead of a university course. With a maximum of 6 students per intake, we can provide individual attention to each student. The focus is on teaching practical skills, not writing long essays about acupuncture history.
-
No scientific background is required. Learning the anatomy is the key to finding acupuncture points. Dedicated individuals can learn it - all it takes is practice.
All you need is:
-
A genuine desire to help others
-
The right attitude. Self-awareness, humility, and the ability to reflect on oneself are all part of this
-
The determination to overcome challenges as they arise
