Student Feedback
What suited me best was the clear sequence: find the painful point, choose the position, then manipulate the needle. It was easier to remember.
The instructor explains many differences from traditional acupuncture, offering useful ideas for designing services.
I worried that I would not be able to learn it. The diagrams and step-by-step teaching made the content easier to follow and organize.
