Somaterra’s AcuDetox Approach
I offer a structured ear acupuncture approach to support people experiencing trauma, substance use challenges, dependency, and related mental and behavioural health concerns. This work is grounded in the belief that access to holistic, body-based care should be available to all communities, particularly those who are underserved or facing significant stress.
Vision
A healthcare system that is people-centered, whole-person oriented, and readily available to those who are most vulnerable and underserved.
Somaterra’s work focuses on improving both access to care and treatment effectiveness for addiction, mental health challenges, and community-wide trauma.

The Ear Acupuncture Approach
It involves the gentle placement of small, sterile, single-use needles at specific points on each ear. Acudetox is performed in a calm setting, allowing the treatment to take effect without the need for verbal processing.
This ear-based acupuncture approach is used as a complementary therapy. It is clinically effective, low-cost, medication-free, and culturally adaptable.
The protocol can be easily integrated into behavioral health programs, addiction treatment services, disaster response efforts, and other settings where people can gather safely and sit together.
When combined with counselling, education, medical care, and peer-support programs such as twelve-step groups, this approach can strengthen overall treatment outcomes.
Core Principals
Simple. Grounded. Non-verbal.
No substances. No pressure. Fewer barriers.
An ear acupuncture protocol designed to support recovery and resilience.
