Course Description
5 Element Chinese medicine theory is the way to understand the deeper meaning of feeling ‘in your element’. In this course you will learn each element in all its layers: Soul, emotions, organ functions, meridians and acupoints. We will explore how each looks in balance and out of balance. You will understand how you can support a healthy balance with aromatics, nutrition and understanding the energetic influences at play. And how to use acupoints and aromatics to rebalance everything. We still work in total respect of an animal’s right to choose and guide his own healing, using touch and essential oils.
Your Teacher - Neomi David

Dog behaviourist, Poland
“AcuAromatics course has helped me change the way I perceive a behavioral or health challenge in an animal. I got more insights into working with 5 Elements and that’s been very useful in upgrading my way of working with oils too.”
Lisa Tully
Sacred Animal Medicine, Ireland
“The Acu Aroma course with Neomi David has given me such incredible tools. I have learned how to get to the root cause of an animals pathology and start to treat from that place. It has also deepened my understanding of the healing power of food once I tie it in to the underlying causes. Plus using the acupressure she taught me, I feel like my holistic toolbox is even more powerful now. Neomi herself is such an incredible person, teacher, animal advocate. If you are lucky enough to study under her I know many animals in your life are going to benefit immensely. Thank you Neomi for how hard you work for us and the beautiful animals!“
