Subject: 🎯 Free 10 CPD Hours: Dr. Tan’s Balance Method Acupuncture Webinar!

Dear Acupuncturist,

I’m excited to share an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the most effective acupuncture systems in the world—Dr. Tan’s Balance Method Acupuncture (BMA).

Szenan Phua, an experienced acupuncturist and educator, is offering a completely free 10-hour CPD-certified online course on the fundamentals of the Balance Method.

This method is known for its instant results, distal needling techniques, and effective pain treatment without needling directly into the pain site.

Why should you take this free course?

✅ 10 CPD hours—A valuable certification upon completion.
✅ Instant clinical application—See results in your practice right away.
✅ Never needle into pain—A safe, effective method.
✅ Easy to learn, repeatable success—No complex theories, just practical results.
✅ Perfect foundation for advanced training—This course prepares you for more advanced techniques like New Balance Acupuncture (NBA).

🔹 Sign up now for free: https://acutcmschool.com/dtbma/

💡 Many practitioners find this method life-changing, but they also encounter challenges when applying it in real clinics. If you experience difficulties or have questions, I highly recommend considering Szenan Phua’s London NBA Workshop in the future, where he will personally address and refine your practice.

For now, take advantage of this free opportunity and experience the power of BMA in your clinic!

Time and time again I hear about fertility clinics dismissing s***m as a potential issue when it comes to secondary infertility. It's one of the more common reasons so push to get it tested if you are having a problem conceiving a second child.

"After having 2 miscarriages I contacted Niamh to help us on our journey, when my fertility clinic had no solutions to offer. I already had one child so they weren’t concerned about further investigations. On contacting Niamh I had to fill out a very detailed questionnaire and she recommended testing for me and my husband – a vaginal microbiome test for me and a DNA fragmentation test as well as a testicular scan for my husband to rule out a varicocele. She recommended supplements for both of us to correct some imbalances that were identified and less than 3 months on from this I got pregnant again. We just had our 12 week scan and further genetic testing which confirmed everything was healthy. Honestly, we cannot recommend Niamh enough. She may be the only reason I can write the above sentence, thank you Niamh, I know you will help many more people to come."
