VAS Pulse & Blockages to Healing – 5-Day Small Group Training in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Auricular Medicine is at its best when experienced in a setting where theory, practice, and personal connection come together. This 5-day immersive course combines two of the most essential foundations of the medicine: the VAS Pulse — a subtle but precise window into the nervous system — and the Blockages to Healing framework, which helps uncover and clear what is standing in the way of true recovery. ➡️ Register now — spaces are extremely limited.

This course is designed to give practitioners not just skills, but clarity:

• Learn to detect and use the VAS Pulse with confidence

• Identify and prioritize hidden blockages — scars, traumas, interference fields, and more

• Gain practical hands-on experience in applying filters, points, and strategies

• Discover the integrative potential of Auricular Medicine alongside your existing practice
