Treatment & Transformation

A Class for Acupuncturists.  Spring 2020 (tba). Examine how acupuncture treatment can positively influence the dying process. Patients facing death often do deep transformational and healing work. Others may be searching for a way to create a whole cloth out of their living. As acupuncturists, we are uniquely trained to help patients with this depth work.    The class draws on case histories and teaching stories from the instructor’s extensive work with hospice patients and their families. Plenty of time is allotted for discussion and your experiences in and out of the treatment room.

• • Consider patient’s priorities and symptoms.
  • Re-consider patient assessment, treatment planning, and point selection.    m

  • Learn about the work of the dying person — it is sacred and challenging.
  • Learn common signs and symptoms that occur during the dying process.
  • Discuss when to intervene and when to “let it be.”
