Eastmountain Professional Development

Advance your knowledge of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Improve the efficacy of your treatments. Build your practice.

I organize and teach continuing education seminars for health professionals and practitioners. I have learnt through my clinic, that keeping things simple, focusing on quality and personalized attention can sometimes get the best results. I've taken this same approach in planning these seminars. Expect small class sizes, clinically useful information and explanations that clarify those sometimes confusing Chinese Medicine theories. These workshops are accredited and cover advanced treatment theories and techniques.
