Is acupuncture the right training for me?

Training to become a naturopath is aimed at people with a keen interest in medicine and naturopathy. The TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine specialization also requires an openness to the Chinese teachings of Yin and Yang, the teachings of the 5 elements and their transformations and the energetic model of the human body with the meridians and acupuncture points.

In any case, you should want to work with people and provide them with practical healing assistance. If you also enjoy manual work, have very steady and precise hands and have no inhibitions about touching strangers, then this training and the profession of TCM acupuncture/Tuina alternative practitioner could be of interest to you.

Personal requirements:

  • Interest in medicine and holistic health models
  • Enjoy contact with people and communication skills
  • Physical and mental resilience
  • Empathy and the ability to set boundaries
  • Sense of responsibility and independence
  • Willingness to acquire and practice the necessary knowledge independently
