About

The Acutonics® Healing System is an energy-based non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture. Precision calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific acupuncture and acupressure points to access the body’s Meridian and Chakra energy systems. These tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun and planets. Their rich resonance and vibration connects with and supports the body’s natural frequencies. It brings us into alignment with the cycles of the Cosmos known since antiquity as the Music of the Spheres.

The tuning fork is struck on an Acutonics® Acuvator then placed on the body or held near the ears. The sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed by traditional medicine. Applying the forks stimulates and balances the body’s physical and subtle energy field to promote healing and inner harmony. Listening to the forks speaks to us deeply by connecting with our vestibular system, within the inner ear canal, and accessing our sense of motion, balance, space, memory, and healing.

Acutonics® provides us with a unique methodology and tools for the practice of Harmonic Medicine and Sound Healing. This life changing healing work is not only having profound results treating chronic and debilitating conditions, but also helping people to balance the spiritual, emotional and physical. The Acutonics® Healing System, owned by the Acutonics® Institute of Integrative Medicine, is rooted in contemporary science and Oriental Medicine, drawing the connections between East and West and ancient and indigenous wisdom. In ancient times and across all cultures, we find reference to the power of sound to heal. In every cosmology and mythology sound is the major link, the carrier wave between the world of spirit and the people of earth. The ancient Sumerians and Taoists observing nature concluded that each piece of the universe is linked to the whole. Each piece exists in relation to the others as part of an interlaced network of divine harmony with humanity at the center: A receiver of energy from both heaven and earth.
