About the AAA
The Animal Acupuncture Academy was founded by Dr Gilchrist, the author of the first Animal Acupuncture textbook in the English language (1981).
Since 1984, the AAA has shared the knowledge & skills of Animal Acupuncture with Australia & the world.
At AAA, we believe that anyone who is passionate about helping animals can become a great Animal Acupuncture Practitioner.


Following Dr Gilchrist’s passing, Dr Lucie Bland became the new Course Director of the AAA in 2023.
Dr Lucie is a PhD-qualified biologist, holistic animal health practitioner, and former university lecturer in Animal Biology.
