Course Description

Chromotherapy is based on the principles of auriculotherapy, auriculomedicine, and the questioning techniques of TFT. This fusion of techniques was inspired by Daniel Asis and Solvey Raquel.

Chromotherapy can be used for pain management and to treat emotional imbalances such as stress, anxiety, and other psychological traumas.

As a chromotherapist, you use colored glasses, lights of various colors, conversation techniques, and possibly RAC/VAS pulse diagnosis (French pulse diagnosis).

As an added bonus, you’ll get access to 4 hours of e-learning on chromotherapy as part of your participation in the intensive live seminar.

THIS IS WHAT WE'LL COVER IN THE WEBINAR

To practice chromotherapy, it is helpful to have an understanding of the effects of colors on both the body and the mind. We will explore this together and try out the tools used in this unique and highly effective form of therapy.

ChromoTherapy is an impressive treatment method that can be used to treat both physical pain and psychological imbalances.

We will examine the following elements:

  • Colored Glasses
  • Color lights
  • Colored pencils
  • Questioning Techniques

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Chromotherapy is based on principles from auriculotherapy, auriculo-medicine, and the questioning techniques of TFT. This combination of techniques is inspired by Daniel Asis and Solvey Raquel.

This course is intended for healthcare professionals such as auriculotherapists, posturologists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, reflexologists, and psychotherapists who wish to learn about chromotherapy. It is also relevant for other healthcare professionals such as nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, midwives, and physicians. If you do not have a healthcare background, you are still welcome to participate.

There is no requirement that you have training in auriculotherapy to participate in this course, but a relevant background can give you a deeper insight into and understanding of the material

It can be helpful to have colored glasses on hand during class. If you’d like to purchase a set, I recommend searching online for “color therapy glasses”—preferably a set with 10–12 colors. Unfortunately, we no longer sell them.

Course Description

Jaw, bite and neck issues are closely linked and can significantly affect our overall health and wellbeing. If the jaw is clenched hard or there are malfunctions in the bite function, it can have negative consequences for the whole body.

In our course, you will learn how to treat these challenges, identify associated symptoms and apply Auriculotherapeutic (ear acupuncture) and Posturological techniques for treatment.

Jaw tension and neck problems often occur during periods of emotional turmoil, such as stress, grief, anxiety or anger. We naturally react by clenching our jaw to deal with these emotions, whether we're awake or asleep.

Topics we cover on the module

  • Understanding the impact of the jaw on our hormonal system, central nervous system, vision and concentration, inner ear, the cooperation between the cerebral hemispheres (laterality) and foot posture and its connection to pain issues throughout the body.

  • Treatment methods for the jaw, neck and bite - including relevant points and treatment protocols.

  • Practical exercises to guide your clients through.

  • The impact of mouth breathing on the jaw, neck, bite and general health.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

This webinar is primarily intended for practitioners such as acupuncturists, massage therapists, reflexologists, psychotherapists, and healthcare professionals such as nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, midwives, and doctors with similar backgrounds.

The course will be held via Zoom, and the course materials will be provided as a PDF file.

If you're a therapist, you can immediately apply your newly acquired knowledge directly to your treatments.

FOR DANISH PARTICIPANTS

COURSE DESCRIPTION

What is posturology?

Posturology is a tool for understanding the body's posture and identifying where a problem lies.

Posturology is used as a treatment method to correct the body's posture. This makes it particularly well-suited for managing physical pain throughout the body and addressing psychological challenges.

Posturology incorporates auriculotherapy into its treatment method.

The course takes place over one weekend and includes a follow-up Zoom session the evening after the weekend.

WHAT POSTUROLOGY CAN DO

Physical pain:

Post-surgery or following physical trauma such as falls, traffic accidents, or improper lifting, problems with posture may arise. When pain occurs, the body adapts to achieve the most appropriate position under the given circumstances. This adaptation can manifest as tension in muscles, connective tissue, fascia, and tendons, as well as twists and rotations in joints, which are reflected in posture. Rotations, misalignments, and twists can perpetuate existing pain and potentially lead to new pain, both acute and long-term. It can be difficult to understand that pain can manifest years or even decades later as a consequence of past complications.

Psychological stress:

The interaction between the two hemispheres of the brain is crucial to the body’s ability to maintain healthy posture and internal alignment. In cases of stress and other forms of mental and emotional strain, this interaction—known as laterality—plays a crucial role. When overload occurs, it manifests not only psychologically but is also reflected physically, particularly through twists and rotations. Therefore, posturology is a powerful approach to both understanding and treating psychological overload.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN TO TREAT DURING THE PROGRAM

Pain Conditions:

  • Muscles and Joints
  • Whiplash and Concussion
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Stress-related conditions such as mouse arm, golfer's elbow, and tennis elbow
  • Neck and Lower Back Pain
  • Foot Problems and Foot Pain
  • Neurological pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia, etc.

Mental health challenges:

  • Stress, Depression, and Sadness
  • Difficulty concentrating and the feeling of being “out of it”
  • Insomnia and Fatigue
  • Hormonal imbalances such as infertility, menstrual cramps, etc.
  • Visual disturbances, eye coordination, and other vision problems
  • Body Balance, Motion Sickness, and Dizziness

Protocols YOU'LL LEARN

Posturological Toolkit:

  • Posturological Tests for a Clear Treatment Plan
  • Knowledge about ear points and their influence on posture
  • Insoles, custom-made for patients
  • Exercises for the Eyes and Jaw
  • Use of Magnets for Stress Relief and Testing
  • Frequency Knowledge for Effective Treatment with and without Needles

      COURSE DESCRIPTION:
      PAIN MANAGEMENT WITH AURICULOTHERAPY

      Auriculotherapy is a fascinating and scientifically proven form of treatment in which the entire body can be reflected and treated through the ear.

      The first module focuses on pain management. You will learn about the anatomy of the ear, somatotopy (the body’s reflection in the ear), and how the ear map can be used as an effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

      This course provides you with a solid understanding of reflex zones, the location of reflex points, and practical techniques for treating pain in various parts of the body—including muscle, joint, and nerve pain. You’ll also gain insight into the difference between acute and chronic pain and how they should be treated differently.

      This course is designed for both beginners who want to learn how to treat patients and for those who are already working as practitioners—such as acupuncturists, massage therapists, reflexologists, psychotherapists, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, midwives, or doctors—and who wish to expand their toolkit to include auriculotherapy.

      THIS IS WHAT WE'LL COVER IN THIS MODULE

      Introduction

      • What is Auriculotherapy / Ear Acupuncture, and how is it used?
      • The History and Development of Auriculotherapy
      • Anatomy of the Ear – Understanding the Structure and Potential of the Ear

      Map of the Ear, Reflex Zones, and Tools

      • Somatotopy and the Ear Map – The Body’s Reflection in the Ear
      • A Neurological Explanation of Reflex Zones
      • The Spine's Representation in the Ear
      • Reflex zones for the shoulder, arm, hand, hip, leg, and foot
      • Stitch Placement, Stitching Techniques, and Understanding Needles
      • Tools: blue pressure pen, glass pen, ASP needles, TCM needles, and ear seeds

      Practical Training

      • Plenty of hands-on exercises in pinpointing and treating specific points
      • How We Treat Each Other in Practice
      • After completing Module 1, you’ll be able to immediately and successfully apply your new knowledge in the clinic

      E-learning as preparation (this applies only to Danish courses)

      • 8 hours of self-study via e-learning, available 14 days before the course begins
      • Easy-to-understand videos with clear instructions
      • Quizzes to test your understanding
      • Supplementary print materials that can be used directly in the clinic

      Protocols YOU'LL LEARN

      Pain Protocols

      • Treatment of shoulder pain, lower back pain, joint pain, and muscle pain
      • Focus on the difference between acute and chronic pain, and how they are treated differently
      • Insights into the treatment of muscle, joint, and nerve pain

      Safety in Practice

      • A review of important precautions and contraindications related to treatment, so you can work professionally and safely

      The introductory course in auriculotherapy consists of three modules. We recommend taking all three to gain a comprehensive understanding of the ear and this effective form of treatment. After completing the three modules, you’ll have a solid foundation for working independently with auriculotherapy—and you can then choose to further specialize through themed workshops or delve into advanced areas such as AuriculoMedicine or auriculotherapy with a focus on mental health.
