Professional praise...

CIAM has developed a comprehensive training program in German Auricular Medicine. Practitioners will learn current developments in auricular acupuncture and the approach taught in Germany — a system [for] profound results... clearing blockages to healing and stubborn symptoms.

Beyond delivering the only systematic training of the DAA program in the English language offered worldwide, the CIAM team is highly professional and caring.”
— Dr. med. Beate Strittmatter, Director of Education, German Academy of Acupuncture (Deutsche Akademie für Akupunktur | DAA)
After 33 years of continuing education courses I can say I have not experienced such a well prepped and gentle presentation of a veritable tidal wave of information.”
– Candice C. Ellis, LAc | Former faculty at New England School of Acupuncture, and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
Hands down the most exciting modality I've studied since completing my Chinese Medical studies almost 8 years ago. Dave and Muriel are brilliant, compassionate, and inspiring teachers of this profound medicine.

I feel as though I’ve been given the keys for unraveling the complex multi-layered medical cases that we see so commonly in our modern clinics.”

Muriel Agnes is the founder and former director of the Vital Principle Institute — now known as the Canadian Institute of Auricular Medicine (CIAM). Muriel began in this field in 1999, studying other auricular acupuncture programs. Prior to founding CIAM, Muriel had the privilege of being mentored in the German system of Auricular Medicine by Dr. Beate Strittmatter and Dr. Peter Gross. She completed a PhD in Energy Medicine under the supervision of Dr. Norm Shealy with doctorate work focused on the assessment accuracy of Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) pulse palpation (also known as the Reflex-Auriculo Cardiac) discovered by Dr. Paul Nogier.

Muriel went on to invite Dr. Strittmatter to Canada in 2003 to teach health professionals. This became the basis for Muriel’s development of curricula, rooted in her pedagogical training, to build the institution for which CIAM is now recognized by students from around the world for continuing education in the field of auricular acupuncture/auricular medicine. 

Continuing as a CIAM advisor, Muriel is retired from the institute she directed from 2003-2019. She currently practices as a counselor at the New Story Empowerment Center in Truro, NS, Canada.
