If you are here, you might wonder if studying animal acupuncture is right for you. So stay tuned, as we walk you through the ins–and-outs of studying animal acupuncture.

What Is Your Why?

If you are here, you are perhaps curious about how studying animal acupuncture can change your life.

Perhaps you’ve witnessed first-hand the effects of an acupuncture treatment on one of your own animals, and you want to be able to do the same health-changing magic on animals.

Or you are interested in studying animal holistic health, and acupuncture seems like one of the modalities that could be right up your alley.

Each one of the thousands of students that has studied with the Animal Acupuncture Academy has had their own combinations of unique personal Why’s such as:

• I want to help animals be healthy and happy.
• I want to use natural, holistic, non-invasive, and cooperative healing techniques.
• I am interested in Eastern concepts of holistic medicine (I can see that everything is connected).
• I am frustrated with the Western approach to veterinary medicine - expensive surgeries, antibiotics, anti-this or anti-that, or medications that just cover up symptoms.
• I want to learn how to treat my own animals so I can save on vet bills.
• I want a passion project, something that lights me up.
• I want to start an acupuncture practice.
• I want to add acupuncture as a valuable part of my existing business.

If you are considering studying acupuncture, now is the time to seriously consider what your Why’s could be, as these will be key to your long-term success.
