Hello! This is an urgent request for acupuncture patients for the final Clinical Intensive of the 2007/2008 Japanese Acupuncture Certificate Series that I have been involved in for the past year. There are 6 of us who will be treating clients, and each of us needs 4 patients per day on both Saturday & Sunday, March 15-16. Please help out!
Give your bodies! In turn, you will receive a professional Japanese-style acupuncture treatment for a greatly reduced price. For more information on the Japanese Acupuncture Certificate Series, please see: alembichealingarts.ca/japanes...ure.html
How is Japanese Acupuncture different?
Japanese acupuncture techniques are extremely gentle, yet effective, making for a very comfortable treatment. Thinner needles are used than in traditional Chinese acupuncture, and there is less needle manipulation involved. Moxibustion is also frequently employed to both warm and tonify points. This style is particularly suited for (but not limited to treating) sensitive people, including children.
There is also a large emphasis on palpation, or the sense of touch, in both diagnosis and treatment. In Japan, acupuncture (along with massage) was a profession mainly reserved for blind people; thus, many techniques which rely on the sense of touch were developed and refined into a high art. The wrist pulses and the abdomen are frequently checked throughout the treatment, giving immediate feedback on how the session is progressing, as well as providing guidance for further action.
Perhaps most important is the emphasis on improving the person's overall constitution. In Japanese acupuncture, all disease is viewed as originating from an energetic deficiency in the body. Regardless of the person's symptoms, a large portion of treatment is focused on treating this "root" deficiency, and by strengthening this "weakest link in the chain," the entire person is brought into a healthier state of balance. Patients often comment on how they not only have a greater sense of well-being, but symptoms they had neglected to mention have also suddenly improved.
Specifics:
Treatment times are available 9am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday, March 15-16. Please call 984-1203 to book.
All practitioners are licensed acupuncturists; this is a perfect opportunity to receive skilled treatment for much less than one would find in a private clinic.
We are located at Alembic Healing Arts Centre, Suite #235 in Market Square. To find us, go in the entrance next to Cafe Mexico (on Wharf St.), up the stairs, turn left, and go all the way down the glass-enclosed hallway. You may enter through Pacific Rim College at the end (there is a door to Alembic through the school).
Thank you in advance! We sincerely appreciate the chance to practise our healing art with you.
Cheers,

Re: Give your bodies to new pros! ...for a greatly reduced price.
Tue, March 11, 2008 - 10:46 PMthe treatments are $25, and $20 for seniors/students. We would love to be able to provide free treatments, but the costs of holding this Clinical Intensive are rather high... and not all of it can be covered by the students' tuition.
Thanks again! I hope to see you there!
