On Saturday, 18 April 2026, we will organize a valuable online continuing education course with the theme: ‘Treating Endometriosis with Confidence: Evidence-Based and Practical Acupuncture Guidance’.

Teacher: Nora Giese is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and researcher, currently based in Sydney to complete her doctoral research on acupuncture for endometriosis at NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University. In both research and clinical practice she focuses on endometriosis and infertility. With over a decade of international teaching experience, Nora is a frequent speaker at integrative medicine and reproductive health conferences.

Course overview:

Women living with endometriosis often experience a wide range of symptoms, most notably menstrual pain and chronic pelvic pain. As current treatment options are limited, many women turn to acupuncture for support. Growing research shows promising benefits of acupuncture in the management of this condition.

Due to the complexity of endometriosis, even experienced practitioners may find the treatment challenging and can lack confidence in choosing the specific acupuncture treatment details required for the effective treatment of this multifaceted condition.

This post-graduate course is designed to give you the confidence you and your patients deserve to treat endometriosis effectively. Positioned at the leading edge of current research, the course explores state-of-the-art acupuncture treatment details. Treatment strategies and acupuncture point selection are explained in depth to support a truly tailored treatment based on Traditional Chinese medicine pattern differentiation and symptoms. The structured and practical approach will help you integrate theory smoothly into your daily practice.
