Teaching Experience
I did my acupuncture teacher training 1995 and started teaching the PAPMA and PAANZ programmes. Because TCM has always been a passion of mine, I have gravitated towards the teaching in that area of acupuncture. When Otago university took on our PAANZ course I transitioned with the rest of the ‘team,’ who were interested in keeping the basic course as close as possible to how it had been run, as we knew it worked and was what the membership wanted.
Background
Because my interest has always been with the traditional, I have gone to virtually every course that Drs Ted Pearson & Gayle O’Duffy have run for physios. One year a post conference workshop was about Japanese acupuncture so I learned some Manaka and the basics of the gentle approach that the Japanese style offers. In 2004 I did the Toyohari Japanese style acupuncture course run by Dr Ted Peason, which included trips to Melbourne to be taught by the Japanese Sensei themselves, as they are very particular about keeping their ‘brand’ true. This means we are not able to actually teach the Toyohari style as such, but their approach has broadened what I can offer into a TCM course. Since finishing the Toyohari training I have attended two of the ‘conferences’ that are run in Tokyo.
I have also added cosmetic acupuncture to what I do in my practice, but the teacher has requested that we don’t teach her style – there are other protocols being taught both here & in Australia that other physios have done without that restriction.
In the last few years I have added Meridian Tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to my tool box. Mainly because I now have a diploma in Life Coaching & I find the tapping is a very useful adjunct for any conditions that we treat with acupuncture. And also things that we may not have thought could be helpful – I’ve even got family using it with their son with ADHD. At the 2011 conference in Auckland I ran one of the workshops on tapping. There seemed to be enough interest for me to run another one – probably half/whole day. If you are interested, please approach PAANZ to place your name on a list for a future offering.
