NADA Ear Acupuncture
the NADA ear acupuncture protocol is a simple, powerful healing tool to bring calmness, ease mental and physical symptoms, PTSD & addictions
The NADA Protocol
NADA is a simple ear acupuncture or no-needle acupressure protocol delivered in group settings. It involves up to 5 acupuncture points on the ear. NADA is most commonly used to promote calm, feel better physically, help with PTSD, cravings, withdrawal, and toxic stress.
NADA’s effectiveness
Advantages Of NADA
Non-verbal/talk-free
No fuss, no judgement, no complicated or differential diagnosis
How it Works
Each person receives up to 5 tiny needles gently placed in each ear to promote their inner calm and grounded self. We set up a quiet atmosphere for everyone to rest while sitting silently next to others in the community.
The sessions last 20-45 minutes and are very relaxing.
NADA vs. Individualized Community Acupuncture
Do you want to address specific physical conditions?
You might want individualized community acupuncture treatment.
NADA is a universal treatment- we use the same ear points on everybody. NADA treatments are not individualized to particular symptoms. The beauty of NADA is no words are necessary- just come in and relax.
We offer individualized community acupuncture 7 days a week, $30-$60 sliding scale.
We offer NADA ear clinics once a month for $20.
