Colorpuncture is a non-invasive but powerful treatment modality.  I started using it in my practice shortly after I was certified in Esogetic Colorpuncture in 1997. I was intrigued by Colorpuncture because it could be used with or without acupuncture needles. I liked the idea of being able to offer a treatment option to people who wanted the benefits of acupuncture but were afraid of needles.

I often describe it as “acupuncture without needles” because it does not involve any puncturing of the skin.

See for yourself! Here is a video of one of my teachers, Rosemary (Akhila) Bourne performing colorpuncture and discussing the therapeutic benefits for adults and children.

Esogetic Colorpuncture was developed by a German naturopath named, Dr. Peter Mandel, who has conducted over 25 years of intensive scientific research on the uses of colored light, frequency, and vibration for healing.

In 1992, Rosemary Bourne (an acupuncturist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine) co-founded the Institute for Esogetic Colorpuncture, USA with fellow colleague and instructor, Manohar Croke, to bring this innovative and effective healing modality to the United States.

I received my colorpuncture certification in 1999 through the IEC, USA, while I was studying acupuncture at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. I continue to incorporate Esogetic Colorpuncture in my holistic health care practice.

It is an especially effective modality for children who are naturally energetically responsive to subtle influences of frequency and vibration.
