WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY
“The Advanced Acupuncture Fertility course at Total Therapy gives you detailed information and protocols to allow you to help both men and women, in supporting natural conception and assisted reproduction. It will give you everything you need to know to work confidently with the world of fertility acupuncture. I first did the course six years ago and since then I have become a fertility specialist. The course was the springboard for me into this specialism.
I try to re-attend the course every year to help out, but also to pick up on any additional information that they add each time.
I highly recommend the course if you are interested in fertility and women’s health”Paula Dean, The Fertility Fairy, En-Pointe Acupuncture, Wigan.
