People don’t always realise this, but there’s a huge difference between someone sticking needles in you and a trained acupuncturist providing real acupuncture.
Becoming a licensed acupuncturist takes 3 years of full-time study, hundreds of hours of clinical training, and rigorous certification exams. We study anatomy, physiology, pathology, and traditional Chinese medicine to ensure treatments are safe, effective, and personalised.
Anyone can claim they “do acupuncture,” but if you want true, professional care, always choose a certified acupuncturist. Make sure they have the correct accreditation with the local authority for piercing skin, as well as being accredited with a authority, such as AAC (Association of Acupuncture Clinicians), like I am! Your health and safety are worth it. 💛
