BEVAS. Belgian Veterinary Acupuncture Society

BEVAS. Belgian Veterinary Acupuncture Society We are the first and oldest in Europe teaching Veterinary Acupuncture Drs Luc Janssens and Emiel van Den Bosch studied acupuncture in humans at the BVGA.

1976: drs Luc Janssens and Jan Still made the first complete acupuncture maps for dogs, still a reference today: “Acupuncture points and meridians in the dog”

Late 1990’s: drs Emiel van Den Bosch and Jean-Yves Guray made the first complete acupuncture maps for horses: “Acupuncture points and meridians in the Horse”. They would be accompanied by other pioneers, dr Andre Demontoy, George de Bilderl

ing, dr Westermayer and dr Kotbauer, to actively promote Veterinary Acupuncture in Europe, all in their own particular way. Until dr Marvin Cain (USA) introduced them to IVAS, which was about to start the first structured veterinary acupuncture course in the Western world in the late 1970’s.

1984: First IVAS certified Veterinary Acupuncture course in Belgium, and Europe, organized by BEVAS. In the same year, the first ever, international veterinary acupuncture congress was organised at the RUCA in Antwerp, Belgium with speakers from Europe, the United States of America, Africa, Asia and Australia. In the late 1980’s a small group of veterinarians set up the legal structure of non-profit organisation for BEVAS as an official affiliate of IVAS. From the continuing educational efforts and classes in Belgium, various other European societies would emerge. Founded in term by colleagues, who studied veterinary acupuncture with us in Belgium. Since 2013, Continuing education has become obligatory for veterinarians in Belgium. We are proud to communicate that the thorough structure of our courses allowed the Flemish Veterinary Board (N.G.R.O.D.) to accredit us official Continuing Educational credits, which are valid worldwide.

🧭 Before TCM ever names a pattern, every case passes through the same 8 questions.
Get any of these wrong, and the entire pattern you build on top of it collapses.

This is exactly where our Diagnosis course begins — before patterns, before treatment, before anything else.

🌊 There's a system in your patient's body that doesn't show up on a routine exam — but it's there, working underneath everything else.

The Extraordinary Vessels aren't something you use every day. They come into play in the deep, chronic, "why isn't this responding?" cases — the ones the main meridians alone don't fully explain.

Knowing exactly when and how to use them is one of the core skills we cover in Module III of our Acupuncture Certificate.

This is just a glimpse of last week’s masterclass, where we explored how TCM helps you read the full picture, not just the presenting sign.

The full recording is available for a limited time ⏳ before it’s gone for good.

👩‍⚕️ We asked Juliet what acupuncture means to her — and her answer is exactly why we do what we do 🐾

If you've ever felt that spark of "this changes everything" in your own practice, you'll know exactly what she's talking about.

❤️ Like if her words resonated with you.

👂 Ever wonder if you're listening to the wrong thing?

Vets are trained to catalog symptoms — name them, treat them, move on.
But patients don't come in speaking in diagnoses. They come in speaking in patterns, and most of us were never taught how to translate that 🧩

In our next masterclass, we'll walk through exactly how to do that.

🐾 Acupuncture goals unlocked.

A glimpse into our veterinary acupuncture training — real hands, real patients, real practice. This is what learning TCM for vets actually looks like.

Our next hands-on practice sessions are happening in September. More info in the link in our bio. 🔗

🩺 We're trained to ask "where does it hurt?"
But sometimes, the body answers before the patient owner even finishes the sentence.

TCM diagnostics work with specific points on the body that reveal what's happening internally — often before other signs even show up. It's a different way of "listening" to a patient during a routine exam.

What if your patient's problem isn't only where you're looking? 🔍
Traditional Chinese Medicine never separated the emotional from the physical. Not once 🧠🐾
Every sustained emotion leaves a mark on the body. And that mark can be read, interpreted, and treated. 🗺️

This changes quite a lot about the way you see certain patients in the clinic.
Have you ever noticed an emotional pattern behind a physical symptom in one of your patients? Tell us in the comments 👇
