Hello! Stephen Here!

In medicine we're so often told that in working with patients our interventions need to "meet them where they're at"... But how in the world can we know where they're at?! How can we gain insight into how our patients experience themselves and the world?

The pulse-- practiced according to tenets passed down for centuries in what is now called the Shen-Hammer lineage--is the most reliable method I've found for shaping and reshaping everything from simple practitioner-patient interactions to specific acu-points, herbs, and formula prescriptions.

If you want to meet your patients where they're at, I'd recommend first becoming acquainted with their wrists.
.. I'm so excited to continue expanding the Shen-Hammer family to include you, too! Come learn this incredibly useful Pulse diagnosis system with me in March! Discounts for students who are re-taking the intro for a second or third time!

Hello Fellow Travelers and Colleagues, just a note to say that our very own Stephen Higgins LAc will be offering an Introductory Seminar March 7-8th and 21st-22nd, 2020 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Stephen is an astounding teacher who is always growing and refining his pedagogical methods. We could not recommend studying with Stephen (and for that matter, re-taking Introductory Seminars as a way of deepening your understanding of the pulse) more.

Cost for the seminar is $800 for both weekends.

Students who have previously taken an Introductory Seminar with Shen-Hammer PDX may take the seminar at a discounted rate of $400!

The Neuropsych course has been, quite literally, years in the making and is a peek into the peak of the pulse's potential. In the last year, Brandt Stickley has been able to trace the direct pathway of electrocution around the cranium and brain, identified the vector of force of blunt trauma, and allowed a cascade of images to guide him directly to the formula, and the core of a patient's condition!

While this course will give you very tangible practice with the most basic aspects of the Neuropsych position i.e. distinguishing excess or deficient headaches, acute or chronic etiologies, identifying vulnerability to nervous system disorders, and even common allergies, it will also be a chance to develop direct perception through exercises and meditations but with specific application to the pulse.

This is a course not to be missed! If you have any specific questions related to course content, please let us know!
