I am a Dr. of Acupuncture, I also practice and incorporate energy and sound healing to help with emotions and the psyche. Unfortunately during my time at school, we did not go into much depth on this topic and I have been eager to learn more. I am very excited to incorporate this information in my clinical practice, and will be completing all the modules. Thankyou, Dr.Sarah L. AB,CanadaSarah L.Canada
