This year’s theme is “NADA’s Vision” and a list of the speakers will be posted soon.
“We’ve done a great deal to get to this point where we can proceed further. But to do so, the knowledge needs to be handed off, and that is not always easy. But we must begin to plan how it can be done. Yes, I really appreciate what we’ve done so far, but I appreciate even more what we might do. Now is the time.”
Dr Mike Smith 1942-2017 Founder of NADA
List of speakers
Here are the speakers so far, with more to be confirmed. Please check our website in the near future for updates.
Lynn Erasmus & Anita Davies
Lynn Erasmus is the founder of Pathfinder CIC in Perth, Scotland. Her goal is to help others who are trying to overcome their own trauma by offering trauma-informed training programmes to organizations and individuals. She recently trained Anita Davies. Anita travelled from Wales to Perth to learn the NADA protocol hoping to make it part of something that can make a difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people
Jamie Dunn
While considering the theme for this years’ conference, we discussed all the new directions NADA is going in and how best to help this expansion. The future of NADA trainings came up and this brought Jamie Dunn to the forefront of the conversation – Jamie is one of NADA GB's most active Trainers. Rachel Peckham told us that Jamie’s work follows Dr. Michael Smith’s vision of having NADA Trainers employed within organizations.
John Tindall, Mauricio Galeano & Diana Rocio Sanchez
NADA/GB co-founder, John Tindall, will talk about NADA work in South and Central America, and he will introduce Mauricio Galeano and Diana Rocio Sanchez, co-founders of NADA/Colombia. They who will join us by video to share the journey of NADA Colombia and their efforts made to integrate NADA into community mental-health initiatives.
Natascha Neben
Natascha Neben supports people who are facing special challenges – most of them are pregnant women and women with their children, but she also works with fathers. For many years, she has successfully integrated NADA acupuncture into this work. She often uses gold-plated magnetic beads – they have delivered remarkable results in stabilizing mothers emotionally and physically. And she adds, “What’s more, this method can also be applied directly to newborns immediately after birth. The outcomes are striking. With minimal time and resources, these treatments yield profound benefits.”
Trish Cathcart
Trish Cathcart will talk about using the NADA protocol in prisons with the Trauma Talks Program – the introduction of NADA was inspired by one of the Mentors, or Recovery Coaches, at the prison who suggested it. Trish has introduced the NADA protocol into all the prisons in Northern Ireland, and she now trains both staff and prisoners in NADA because, as she says, “Working with people with lived experience is the way forward.”
Kajsa Landgren PhD
NADA works. All of us here knows that it works. We have seen how this simple kind of ear acupuncture creates a zone of peace and helps people to recover and we have heard our clients/patients witness how NADA has helped them. As NADA is a safe, effective, non-pharmacological, non-verbal, cost-effective method, highly appreciated by clients, it should be implemented broadly so that more people can benefit from it. NADA should be implemented into the ordinary health care system, public funded care, to relieve stress and suffering. Now it is time! Decisionmakers ask for evidence and neurophysiological explanations before they are ready to implement complementary methods. Kajsa will talk about what we know about neuromodulation via ear acupuncture like NADA and about the evidence for ear acupressure with beads.
