01 · Learning ACMOS in the USA

Learning ACMOS in the USA.

Is the training really in English?
Yes. ACMOS USA exists to bring the method to English-speaking learners in the United States: classes, practice and support are in English, with US trainers.
Why is English training alone not enough?
Because a new skill fades when you learn it alone: nobody to practice with, nobody to check a reading against, and no clear way to source remedies here. That is why so many antennas end up in a drawer. ACMOS USA adds US trainers, support, a community you practice with, mentorship, and a US-based approach that includes your own remedies.
Do I need a medical background to train?
No. ACMOS training has no medical prerequisite. The first level is open to anyone. What you do need is the willingness to practice on real people under supervision before you call yourself a practitioner.
Online or in person?
Online training is open now, live and recorded, from any state. In-person US dates are being coordinated, starting in the DELMARVA region. Add your city on the trainings page and you will hear first.
What does it cost?
All current trainings, what each one includes, and how to enroll are on the Trainings page. Remedies are not included.
Do I have to buy the whole kit?
No. Start with a free 30-minute intro class with Ayda. When you are ready, the antenna is where everyone starts. We help you work out what you actually need first.
Where do I get remedies in the US?
You can test the herbs, oils and supplements you already use. ACMOS remedy kits are made in France; a US store is opening soon. Ask us before you order. ACMOS antennas currently ship from ACMOS in France, so shipping times vary until we have US inventory. Please plan accordingly.
Is there help passing the practitioner exam?
Yes. Practitioner exam prep gives you 6 one-to-one or 12 small-group sessions on protocol, measuring and record forms. See the Trainings page for details.
What is the mentorship with Carol?
Mentorship with Carol Robertson: work through real cases with the teacher who spent 15 years alongside the ACMOS founder. See the Trainings page for details.
What is the Turnkey ACMOS System?
A ready-made practitioner system, from first-visit intake and e-signed consent to before and after readings, protocol, follow-up and report, so you can get to attracting clients instead of building your own system. It is in final testing with our first US practitioners now. Launch dates have not been set yet; join the founding list on the trainings page to hear first.
What do I get at the end? Is it a license?
It is a diploma in the ACMOS Method, awarded by ACMOS in Paris, not by ACMOS USA, and not a US professional license of any kind. It does not give you the right to diagnose or to treat. It gives you a documented standard of training and a place in the US practitioner directory.
02 · Sessions

Sessions.

What actually happens in a session?
You stay dressed and comfortable. The practitioner uses the Lecher antenna to take a set of readings: energy points, meridians, levels. From those readings they work out an order, balance using acupoints, remedies, color or light, then measure again. A first session usually runs around two to two and a half hours.
Does anything go into me? Needles, injections?
No needles and nothing injected. The antenna does not touch you. Acupoints are stimulated with gentle light or a very low-level electrical contact on the skin. Remedies are tested first, and you take only what the readings asked for.
Can this be done remotely?
Yes. In person is the fuller experience. Remote sessions work differently, and many practitioners offer them; the directory says which each one does.
How many sessions will I need? What does it cost?
There is no set number, and anyone quoting you one before they have met you is guessing. A common rhythm is a first session, then a follow-up two to three months later. Each practitioner sets their own fees; ask before you book.
What if nothing changes?
Then the second reading shows that, and you will see it. That is the point of measuring twice. Results differ from person to person, and any honest practitioner will tell you when a session did not move much.
03 · Honest answers

Honest answers.

Is this a diagnosis?
No. This is not a diagnosis and no practitioner here will give you one. That is a doctor’s job. ACMOS is complementary to, not a substitute for, medical care. If something in a reading suggests you should see a doctor, we will say so plainly.
Do I have to stop anything my doctor has me on?
Absolutely not, and please don’t. Never stop or change a prescribed medication except with the prescriber who gave it to you. ACMOS sits alongside your medical care.
Is ACMOS approved or cleared by the FDA?
No. ACMOS is not an FDA-approved or FDA-cleared diagnostic or treatment method, and ACMOS training does not make anyone a licensed healthcare provider. It is a complementary wellbeing practice.
Isn’t this just dowsing?
It’s a fair question. The antenna is held and read by a person, so the practitioner’s steadiness matters, and mainstream science attributes results in this family of instruments to small involuntary muscle movements. What ACMOS adds is a fixed protocol and a before-and-after: the same points, in the same order, measured at the start and again at the end, so the session produces a record rather than an opinion. That is the basis of the work, not proof of a medical claim.
What is the Lecher antenna?
A measuring instrument: two parallel rods with a sliding bridge and a calibrated scale. Ernst Lecher built the first version around 1888 to measure the wavelength of radio waves. René Naccachian designed calibrated versions for the ACMOS Method. The bridge slides to the wavelength you are testing.
Who is this not for?
Anyone looking for a cure, a diagnosis, or a replacement for their doctor. And anyone who wants results without practice: it honestly takes time, and supervised sessions, to read well.

Still wondering? Come and see.

A free 30-minute intro class with Ayda is the easiest way to ask your question out loud, in English, with no obligation.

The small print, in plain sight.

Everything offered here is for education and general wellbeing, and is complementary to, not a substitute for, medical care. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, a treatment or a cure, and nothing here should be used to delay, replace or alter care you are receiving. Never stop or change a prescribed medication except with the prescriber who gave it to you.

The energy-balancing theories described here are the basis of the work; they are not presented as proof of any medical claim. ACMOS is not FDA-approved or FDA-cleared. Each trainer teaches independently, with their own background and skills, and is responsible for their own practice. Results differ from person to person.
