A clinical extension of The Practice Within — by invitation only

This dry needling mentorship pathway is designed for mentees who demonstrate anatomical precision, clinical readiness, and ethical integrity. It is a natural evolution of The Practice Within mentorship, offering a hands-on experience to deepen your confidence in dry needling as a safe, effective, and presence-driven clinical tool.

Dry needling is an integral part of my acupuncture practice — not simply as a modality, but as a method rooted in anatomical clarity, tactile discernment, and deep listening. Patients often seek out our clinic specifically for dry needling — not just because we offer it, but because of how we offer it: with precision, safety, and attuned care.

This is not a dry needling certification course. It is a focused, personalized training for those who are ready — a 1:1 intensive designed to refine technique, sharpen anatomical fluency, and support ethical integration into real-world acupuncture practice.

This pathway is not about collecting techniques for the sake of trend. It’s about learning to integrate dry needling seamlessly into a whole-person treatment approach — where it enhances your clinical work rather than distracting from it.
