I worry about practitioners burning out
“But I also know that acupuncture can be much simpler and much more powerful than many acupuncturists know.
We often overthink channels and points. Many of us don’t really understand how palpation can be the lynchpin to accurate diagnosis – and also to your patient’s understanding of what’s happening to them while on the table. Many of us use more needles than needed. Less can be more. Way more. In short, many of us work harder than we actually need to.
The feedback I get from our workshops is a kind of relief. They don’t just trust acupuncture more. They can see how they can save themselves from burnout. And they can do this while genuinely helping more people. Practice actually becomes joyful.”

FEEDBACK ON OUR WORKSHOPS
“Just finishing up my first day treating after the workshop over the weekend. I’ve had 10 patients this morning and I’ve used this method on all of them. The results getting off the table have actually blown my mind I’m sooooooo excited about this style of acupuncture. It’s been such a joyful day in clinic.”
“As a first-year graduate I was daunted going into practice. I did Jeff’s workshop just before I started and it made everything so much easier. I have been using 1-2 needles since starting with results that have blown me away. I’ve been treating between 35-45 clients per week since the 3-month mark of my first year in practice and running 3 rooms. Amazing method.”
ALAYNA GAY
“I treated 8 people yesterday morning and used between 1-3 needles. Previously I’d have 5 needles in before asking how they feel and often ended up with 20 needles. With your tweaks I can use 1 needle and go check for myself...It blew my mind.”
“Excellent and encouraging facilitator. Wealth of knowledge, never a dull moment, plenty of relevant and interesting experience. Palpation and seeing the immediate change this system can create was great.”
“Nailed it....Many golden nuggets which I can take straight into clinic.”
“I took what we learnt at the workshop and used on my patient with a stubborn
shoulder (doctors think it’s frozen shoulder) …drum roll...best ROM results I have experienced!”
