🎉 HAPPY BOOK ANNIVERSARY JOHN! 🎉

Wishing our wonderful John a very happy 1st anniversary of his latest book - "Senses & Sensitivity: the 'doing' of Five Element constitutional acupuncture".

To mark this special occasion, as well as to celebrate John and his massive contribution to the acupuncture world over the years, we have a new blog Q&A interview for you to read!

This fabulous book has been out in the world for a year, and if you haven't added it to your collection yet, then what are you waiting for?!

If you have already bought it, then please do leave an amazing review over on Amazon, as this really supports John and the book - we want to get the Five Element wisdom out into the world!

And just FYI, if you've been living under a rock for the past year, “Senses & Sensitivity” is a book that brings together all the content of the Five Element Skills module at the college, as created and taught by John.

As many of our grads will be aware, this incredible wisdom has only previously existed on handouts and as discussed in class.

This book focuses on the practical, sensory skills we need to become excellent Five Element acupuncturists.

It guides us to deeply develop how we better tune into the nuances and energies of the constitutional factor or each Element type person.

Covering all of the Elements, and each of the colour, sound, emotion and odour aspects - this truly is a skills bible to treasure!

Would you like to work with people with cancer, but feel it might be too challenging? Are you working with people with cancer, but unsure about what is safe?

When working with people with cancer, there are many questions about what constitutes safe practice. Should people undergoing chemotherapy have acupuncture? Is acupuncture safe for people taking anti-coagulants? And what does “at-risk” of lymphoedema mean?

These are just a few of the questions commonly posed by acupuncturists about treating people with cancer. And uncertainty about these is often a deterrent to acupuncturists providing good supportive care, especially to people when they are undergoing cancer treatment.

Beverley de Valois is sharing her wisdom about this over on our latest blog post, in preparation for her debut training event on this subject at CICM, based around her research paper and amazing book on this topic.
