NADA FIVE POINT EAR ACUPUNCTURE PROTOCOL
As a West Midlands Trainer for NADA GB, the UK's leading trainer for NADA protocol that preserves the spirit of NADA US ignited by Dr Michael Smith, Anna is able to pass on the legacy and wisdom he taught in her teaching of five simple NADA acupoint steps, accompanied by a manual of a more comprehensive healthcare programme. Evidence based to dampen heightened dysregulated states and bring balance and calm to those affected by stress, trauma and addiction, NADA practitioners also rapidly respond to supporting communities affected by disasters worldwide.
NADA GB is trailblazing in driving gold standard acupuncture research evidenced to help a wide range of conditions and settings beyond substance misuse and mental health e.g. breast cancer and eating disorders, making ear acupuncture accessible to healthcare professionals with no experience of acupuncture, adjunct to medical care.
More on NADA protocol acupoints and recordings of research disseminated by world leading health care professionals utilising NADA protocol at NADA Annual Conference 2022 can be found at NADA GB website, as 2022 hosts of NADA Annual Conference.
