Ayla has great knowledge of TCM and western neurology and is able to freely move from one to the other explaining clearly functions and pathologies occurring in the body- nervous system and the gut.

Dr.Ayla Wolf is supremely skilled in the field of acupuncture neurology. The course materials were very well organized, evidence based and highly informative. I would highly recommend this course to any practitioner interested in expanding her/his knowledge base on the management and treatment of dysautonomia signs and symptoms using a TCM approach.

This is a deep dive into the connection between the brain, gut, and microbiota ecology. The course was both fascinating and affirming, providing an intersectional perspective. I would recommend this class to anyone.
