In a nutshell 3_edited.jpg

Who we are, in a nutshell

The Acupuncture Academy was the brainchild of Julie Reynolds and Jen Wade, following the closure of the original five element college at which they taught, the College of Traditional Acupuncture - first in Leamington Spa, and later based in Hatton.

Opened in 2012, they used pioneering teaching methods and an all new approach to the study of acupuncture theory, research and biomedicine, combining remote learning with college based practical skills sessions.  They have been working with a rock solid team now for 12 years, have graduated 18 cohorts of students, and have an impressive 96% student satisfaction rating (which doesn't mean 4% weren't happy, but that on average, everyone was 96% happy!)

It will have been mentioned elsewhere, but TAA is a family, and a thriving family because of hard work, of kindness, support and connection, and because of the relentless positivity of the Principals, the tutors, the supervisors, and all of the staff. 

Everyone works with humour, with diligence, and with the happiness and welfare of the students, graduates and their future patients at the heart of every single decision made.  If you are thinking of training to become an acupuncturist, the team is confident that you will love it here, and will thrive with their support both while studying, and beyond into practice.  Come and meet them at one of their preview sessions, or get in touch through the main contact page.  You might even use the old-fashioned method and call on 01926 730284 - we'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
