Acupuncture Masterclass: two days of live clinical cases with Dr Nadia Volf

Each case is a consultation reproduced as in Dr Nadia Volf's own practice, and above all as you will be able to run it in yours: from the first sign to the diagnosis, the treatment, the therapeutic strategy and the follow-up treatments. You can bring your own cases.

What you will experience

No set topic, the reasoning spoken out loud

Dr Nadia Volf receives patients in front of the group, as in a consultation at her practice: acute or chronic conditions, pain, musculoskeletal disorders, complex constitutions. She comments on each step as she carries it out: what she looks at, what she rules out, and why. You leave with a consultation you can run in your own practice. Cases are anonymised and covered by professional secrecy.

  • Seven real cases over two days, each walked through in full: diagnosis, treatment, therapeutic strategy and follow-up treatments.
  • Her whole toolkit, case by case: Auricular Causative Diagnosis®, Extraordinary and Divergent Meridians, Alchemical Acupuncture.
  • Your own cases, if you wish. Submit them when you register; they are analysed during the session.
  • 32 practitioners around the table, questions at any time, and a private group to carry on the exchange afterwards.

A protocol can be read in a book. Reasoning cannot: it is passed on by watching it being built.

The schedule

Both days, hour by hour

Seven clinical cases over the two days, each taken from end to end, from the first sign observed to the treatment strategy.

Needle placement commented on by Dr Nadia Volf during a Masterclass

In their words

“I followed Nadia's DIU in Scientific Acupuncture, then every Masterclass […] for her very rich teaching, which changed my view of care.”
Brigitte Mignot, physician
“The Masterclasses are […] very focused on the ear, and they let us truly develop our understanding of the ear, which, for us osteopaths, is enormously useful.”
Catherine Rod de Verchère, osteopath, Paris
“I first came to the Academy through Masterclasses with Nadia, and I was astounded by the auricular approach. […] Learning strategies, knowing where to go to treat better.”
Didier Agi, osteopath, Lyon

Frequently asked questions

Before you enrol

If I attend in person, do I also get the replay?
Yes. The replay is included with in-person registration, with 90-day access from your online training space.
Do I have to choose between in person and replay now?
You state your choice when you register, at the same price. If something comes up, you keep access to the replay for 90 days anyway.
Do I need to have completed the DAC first?
No, the Masterclasses are open to any healthcare professional. Prior training in auriculotherapy or acupuncture helps you get the most out of them, but is not required.
How do I submit a clinical case?
Tick “I would like to submit a clinical case” in the registration form. We get back to you by e-mail to clarify the details before the session. All cases presented, yours as well as Dr Volf's, are anonymised and covered by professional secrecy.
Until when can I register?
The in-person session takes up to 32 participants, the capacity of the room. Registration stays open until the day before, subject to available seats. The replay remains available after the session, with 90-day access.
Who can register?
The Masterclass is open to healthcare professionals. In France, acupuncture and auriculotherapy are medical acts reserved for doctors, midwives and dentists within the scope of their profession: each participant applies what they observe within the limits of their own profession, and the course confers no new right to practise.
How do payment and access work?
Registration and payment are made online through the secure Stripe platform: €480, or 4 × €120 with no fees, in person or on replay. Course content and the replay are accessed through the online training space. A certificate of attendance is issued at the end of the Masterclass.
