What it is
Non-invasive acupressure. The vagus nerve. Calmed.
Acupressure, like acupuncture β without the needles.
This is non-invasive acupressure. It works primarily through the vagus nerve β the body’s master regulator of stress, sleep, digestion, and emotional state. The 24K Gold Ear Seeds are gold-plated magnets applied to pressure points on the ear that send signals to the reflex centers of the brain to relax the nervous system and reset the body.
The foundation protocol has been studied for over 30 years. On the battlefield, the U.S. Air Force’s Battlefield Acupuncture protocol has been delivered to 11,406 veterans across 57 medical centers. In recovery, worldwide, the parallel NADA protocol has trained 25,000+ practitioners across 40+ countries.
Because the application is brief and the protocol is gentle, ear seeding is intentionally accessible across an entire spa team. Front desk staff can deliver one-minute add-ons. Estheticians integrate ear seeds into facial protocols. Licensed practitioners build full clinical care plans.

The Clinical Foundation
VIE HEALING’s ear seeding builds on a clinically proven protocol.
The five-point auricular acupuncture protocol developed at Lincoln Hospital, Bronx in the 1970s β and codified by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) β is one of the most widely studied and deployed Traditional Chinese Medicine interventions in modern Western healthcare.
24K Gold Ear Seeding is the non-invasive, modern extension of this clinical lineage β bringing its evidence base into beauty, hospitality, and everyday self-care without the needles, the clinical setting, or the stigma.

What you’ll help your clients with
Six outcomes. Three decades of clinical research behind each one.
Better Sleep
Help your clients fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and wake fewer times. Auricular acupressure improved sleep quality versus placebo, performing comparably to sleep medication with far fewer side effects.
BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2015.
Easier Digestion
Help your clients with chronic constipation, IBS, and digestive discomfort. RCTs of ear-seed acupressure show improvements in gut motility and reduction in nausea.
BMC Geriatrics, 2023 Β· Heliyon, 2025.
Sustained Energy
Help your clients with burnout, mental fatigue, and the depletion of chronic stress. Network meta-analysis on auriculotherapy for burnout shows measured reductions in fatigue and exhaustion.
Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem, 2022.
Hormonal Balance
Help your clients through PMS, cramps, and cycle-related discomfort. Meta-analysis of 35 RCTs (3,960 women) found ear-seed acupressure significantly reduced menstrual pain.
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022.
Pain Relief
Help your clients with chronic low-back pain, tension, and acute pain. Meta-analysis found clinically meaningful reductions in pain that held at follow-up.
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017.
Steadier Mood
Help your clients regulate stress, anxiety, and low mood. Sham-controlled RCT showed measurable changes in serotonin alongside reductions in depressive symptoms.
Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2021.

Frequently asked
How quickly can I start earning revenue from this?
The Master Class is self-paced β most practitioners complete it in a single afternoon. With backbar inventory in hand, you can serve your first client the next day. Within three days of enrolling, most graduates are charging for the service and have already begun covering the cost of the Master Class. The full $495 is typically paid back within the first 20 services.
Do I need to be a licensed practitioner?
No. The Master Class is open to licensed acupuncturists, estheticians, massage therapists, beauty professionals, spa staff, and entrepreneurs. The certificate confirms your VIE HEALING Master Class status β it does not replace state-licensing requirements where they apply.
Can my whole spa team take this β including front desk?
Yes. Ear seeding is uniquely accessible. Front desk staff can be trained to deliver one-minute add-ons between appointments. Estheticians integrate ear seeds into facial protocols. Licensed practitioners build full clinical care plans. The Master Class meets every role where it is. For multi-staff training, see Turnkey Spa ($2,500).
What if I enroll and decide it’s not for me?
7-day cancellation window, provided you haven’t progressed past Module 1. The intro module is your risk-free preview. Once you’ve moved into Module 2, the enrollment is non-refundable β this keeps the curriculum honest for the practitioners who are serious about the work.
What does the certificate actually do?
Two things. It establishes your VIE HEALING Master Class status β recognized within our hospitality and clinical network. And it unlocks your eligibility to purchase from Pro Backbar at wholesale pricing β typically a 50% discount versus retail.
How is this different from a free YouTube tutorial?
The Master Class is a complete training program β eight modules, five clinical protocols, the placement technique, the integration playbook, the revenue strategy, and the certified completion. It is the same training Mona Dan delivers to the spa teams of Rosewood, Four Seasons, Auberge, and 1 Hotels. It is not an introductory primer.
What about CEUs?
3 CEU credits via the California Acupuncture Board, CEP #1789 (renewed June 2026). NCCAOM approval is being pursued and we’ll update the moment it lands.
Founding 100 β what is that?
The first 100 Master Class graduates can upgrade to Pro Backbar at $495 (saving $500) within a 30-day window. It’s a one-time founding-cohort offer. Once 100 enrollees have claimed it, the offer returns to standard pricing.
