Auricular Acupuncture Tech Training (AAT)

Stuck is committed to getting this medicine out there, that’s why we offer education and training to the general public. Our AAT training has everything you need to become certified to practice the 5 Needle Protocol in Arizona.

I flew into Flagstaff from Detroit for the Auricular Acudetox Training with Nox, and I am so happy I made that decision. From the caring, kind, and professional space that Nox holds with students to the amount of information provided on the subject and hands-on training, I finished the course with confidence that I could continue the work when I returned home. The training environment was perfect!! I have nothing but great things to say about my AAT Training with Nox!!

“This place is amazing. The best and most versatile care around. I am very thankful that Stuck Community Acupuncture is here to serve our community with incredible skill, care, and affordable rates.”

– Toya Hankins

I found training to be well structured and well presented. We had both an opportunity to practice physical skills of NADA protocol, as well as, connect deeper at the emotional level in understanding how to provide trauma informed care. The class is fast paced and there is a lot of material covered. I’m very grateful to my classmates for bringing their particular perspectives, and life experiences to this shared learning experience. Overall, I feel that I lucked out, and it’s quite a gem of a training I’ve found!
