Yin Tuina :: Classical Chinese Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine :: Qigong Treatment is cooperative between myself and my patients.

It is the diagnostic model, not the treatment modalities which makes Chinese & other medicines unique. The diagnostic process consists of four methods of deriving evidence of one or more pattern diagnoses and their relative etiologies:

1) Asking - This is the part where you tell me your story, I listen, take notes and I ask follow-up questions relevant to every aspect of your life.
2) Looking - T

his is the part where I notice general things, how you hold yourself, if you hold tension in one place or another, how alive is your complexion or the sparkle in your eyes, how does your tongue and its coat look?
3) Listening - This can include listening to a cough or how the tone of your voice changes as you tell me your story.
4) Palpation - This includes Chinese pulse diagnosis, as well as palpating points, channel-flows, and joints for places that might exhibit any number of reactions when touch and/or pressure is applied. I often use palpation to confirm my diagnosis or lead me in a different direction. Once I have my diagnostic patterns, in mind, I then determine which is the root cause and what is the branch symptom. If a branch symptom is severe and acute, you focus on alleviating suffering, if not, the focus is on correcting the underlying diagnostic pattern causing the affliction. In the long-term, it is the changes they are willing to make in their own life which will most benefit them, and its my job to help them with that. To that end, we can discuss dietary & lifestyle changes, stress reduction, harm reduction, and I can offer basic instruction in various Qigong & meditations, depending on who the patient is in the present moment. In the short-medium term, I can offer two basic forms of treatment.

1) One stems from my great love for the Chinese herbal prescription traditions and my great fortune to study with some real masters. An herbal formulas may be entirely personalized or it may be a standard patent formula, it may have few or many different medicinals in it, it may be taken as pills or water-soluble granules or you might boil a fully customized bag of material in your kitchen, all depending on the complexity of the patient's situation and with respect to what they can afford to contribute, in terms of time, money, and effort.

2) The other form, which works very well in combination with the herbs, is the actual treatment you receive from me. What modalities i employ depends on patient preference, which one's best fit the diagnosis, and which ones require skills the patient cannot reasonably learn to do for their self. Acu-point/caves and channels are accessed through acupuncture needles, light-tough acupressure, tuina (Chinese medical bodywork), moxibustion, magnets, and tuning forks. During the treatment, the patient is involved in an interactive meditation, of sorts. With great focus on the breath, sometimes in quality, but sometimes focusing on different places or flows, and sometimes involving a number of different visualizations, as relevant.

Education & Experience:

Massage: I’ve been a massage & manual therapist for about 20 years, since earning my Acupressure Practitioner Diploma from the Acupressure Institute in California in 2005. My massage blends Yin Tuina, Fengshui Tuina, TCM Tuina, Jinshin Acupressure, Zen Shiatsu, and Ashiatsu, with even more years of experience intuitively massaging friends.

TCM: I’ve been an acupuncturist & Chinese herbalist for about 15 years, since graduating with my master of Traditional Chinese Medicine degree from Five Branches University in 2010 and earning my California Acupuncture Licence in 2011. We studied how to effectively treat all kinds of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health issues with a complementary, holistic, integrative, and natural approach to classical Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine with many elder Chinese physicians trained in both traditional Chinese and modern Western medicine.
