What is AcuWellness and the NADA protocol?
Find answers here about our peer-led community care, accessibility practices, and what to expect when you visit Our Breathing Room.
No diagnosis is required. We operate on a drop-in, come-as-you-are basis with no performance needed and no questions asked.
The NADA protocol involves gentle placement of up to five small, sterile disposable needles in specific ear points in a quiet group setting.
Yes! We proudly offer ear beads and seeds as a low-barrier, nonverbal option based entirely on your personal choice and consent.
Care is a human right. We intentionally include LGBTQIA• individuals, neurodivergent folks, disabled people, unhoused neighbors, and caregivers.
Not at all. AcuWellness is a completely nonverbal practice focused on autonomy, voluntary participation, and finding a little room to breathe.
Our peer-led sessions are completely free and open to all Giles County residents and surrounding areas as part of our community care mission.
