ÅBNE NÅLE

Acupuncture for everyone

Welcome Åbne Nåle (Open needles)!

Calling all my fellow activist groups and political spaces out there: I am available for donation based NADA ear acupuncture at your space. I am also looking for a space to host monthly drop in sessions.

Why Åbne Nåle

Self care for collective care

My mission is to support the grassroots movements whose struggles are crucial to my vision of a life worth living and fighting for.

By sharing ear acupuncture treatments with my comrades, I aim to support them accomplishing the changes I also want to see happen in the world in our lifetime.

This is not charity nor a free service. Your successes or losses will affect me so I have good reasons to get involved and contribute to what you want to achieve, in the way I can.

Adressing political depression

Burn outs, conflicts, deceptions, hopelessness are part of the landscape of a life rhythmed by struggle. My ambition here is to offer a healing room to simply pause and rest together.

With humility an curiosity, Åbne Nåle is trying to contribute to your overall good health and resources, so you can do your work while taking care of yourself.

'NADA Protocol'

The 'NADA protocol' is an accessible and evidence based ear acupuncture treatment promoting a more stable mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, ADHD, depression. There is no counter indication and it's accessible for all.

Its history is rooted in political and collective organizing as it emerged in the 1970's in NYC as a way of empowering marginalized local communities out of dysfunctional drug use and social misery.

It is a honor to perpetuate a tradition of community based healthcare where we reclaim our capacity to take care of one another.

Building a power

I'm looking for other practitioners that'd wish to bear with me this responsibility.
