Acupuncture and Mental Health

The host of the seminar, Maria Ester Ontiveros-Flores, has over 25 years of experienced as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. In 1993, she began incorporating auricular acupuncture into her substance abuse practice.

In particular, Ontiveros-Flores will be discussing the NADA Protocol, an approach to holistic treatment. The NADA Protocol advocates that any individual aspect of treatment cannot act as a “cure” for a condition. Instead, a holistic approach that acknowledges the many different mental, physical and emotion at play is required to achieve true healing.

NADA Protocol Process

  • Identify feeling and symptoms of anxiety and depression.
  • Identify the craving process.
  • Foster increased calmness, better sleep, and reduced agitation.
  • Obtain relief from stress and emotional trauma.
