I am happy to announce that I am collaborating with Corinne Diachuk offering an introduction to the wheel of consent. If you are interested in learning more about consent based communication this is a great opportunity to explore and learn more. This workshop profoundly influenced the way I work with clients, as well as communicate with partners and loved ones. Here is the link to register.

In 2007 when Hemma community acupuncture opened we were the first community acupuncture clinic in Canada affiliated with POCA (Peoples Organization of Community Acupuncture), and the 18th such clinic in North America. 17 years later there are now more than 300 such clinics located throughout North America offering a combined total of nearly a million treatments a year. This clinic model offers tremendous value to the acupuncture profession as a whole and a tremendous value to our communities in terms of providing valuable health care needs. This 2 day workshop will give you the opportunity to explore and understand the history and background of community acupuncture, why it’s such an effective service delivery model, and how to go about working within or starting your own community acupuncture clinic.
Course Objectives:
Exploring community acupuncture as a unique service delivery model, we will examine the history, philosophy and fundamentals of community acupuncture, in order to gain a greater appreciation for its role within the larger practice of acupuncture. We will also examine and review the practical aspects of community acupuncture clinical practice and gain skills in patient care, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and trauma informed care.
