Course Overview
This course provides a deep dive into the nature of the 12 channels of SAAM. Whether you have been practicing SAAM for several years or you have just taken SAAM Level 1 with Toby Daly, this class will improve your diagnostic skills and further fuel your love of this powerful system.
Using Toby Daly’s teaching as our guide, we will identify the essential manifestations of SAAM channel qualities. These will be contrasted with signs and symptoms that are pointers, rather than for sure signs, that could be coming from multiple qualities. This differentiation greatly improves your ability to properly assign clinical weight and clarifies the diagnostic process. Case examples will illustrate the teaching in this clinically oriented class.
This class is designed to enhance the learning process. Two hour classes present information in manageable chunks, preventing information overload.
Prerequisite: SAAM Acupuncture, Level 1, taught by Toby Daly.
