NADA GB EAR SEEDS ONE DAY COURSE

NADA GB Accredited Ear Seeds Training

One-Day Accredited Course | Woodbrooke, Birmingham | 8th August
 
Learn how to use evidence-based ear seed therapy to support anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, nervous system regulation, menopause symptoms, sleep difficulties, mental health and substance misuse recovery — either professionally within your practice or personally for yourself and your family.
 
This practical one-day accredited training is open to therapists, wellbeing practitioners and anyone who want a safe, simple and effective self-care and therapeutic tool grounded in both traditional practice and modern evidence-informed approaches.
 
Ear seeds are small non-invasive acupressure beads applied to specific points on the ear to gently stimulate the nervous system. Based on the internationally recognised NADA protocol, ear seed therapy has been widely used across addiction recovery, mental health support, trauma-informed care and community wellbeing settings for over 50 years.
 
Today, NADA GB original 5 point protocol is recognised and used internationally across:

• Community mental health teams
• Addiction and recovery services
• Trauma-informed support programmes
• Hospitals and rehabilitation settings
• Schools and SEMH environments
• Refugee and crisis support services
• Holistic and integrative healthcare clinics
 
This training explores how the five NADA points may support:
 
• Anxiety and stress regulation
• Sleep and nervous system balance
• Emotional overwhelm and burnout
• Menopause symptoms
• Cravings and substance misuse recovery
• Trauma and emotional dysregulation
• Relaxation and emotional resilience
 
Research by Dr Kajsa Landgren, psychiatric nurse, researcher and internationally respected NADA educator has explored the use of auricular acupuncture within psychiatric and addiction settings. Her work highlights benefits relating to anxiety reduction, emotional regulation, sleep, stress, cravings and therapeutic engagement within mental health and substance misuse services.
 
The course also explores emerging menopause-focused evidence and clinical application, including the work of Claire Hurst and wider auricular approaches supporting symptoms such as hot flushes, anxiety, insomnia and nervous system dysregulation.
 
As an approved NADA GB trainer with over 24 years’ experience in auricular therapy, mental health and addiction services, I bring extensive real-world clinical expertise into the training. My background includes work within NHS adult addictions, criminal justice substance misuse services, community mental health settings, SEMH education and private clinical practice.
 
A major strength of this course is its practical accessibility.
