In Person Classes
5-7 October 2024: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Clinical Integration: Ying Level
Course Description
This course is the evolution of the theory and skills classes that we’ve done together. The aim is to model how channel theory gets integrated into a treatment. How primary channel and luo vessel interventions can be combined to elevate both. How we can actively listen through the pulse and respond in real time to the conversation that happens between patient and practitioner. A truly successful practice can only come from a place of truth: we can’t treat as someone else does. We can’t treat as a future version of ourselves. We can only offer what is truly ours, in the present; what we’ve absorbed and cultivated in our practice. It is my hope that by demonstrating what that looks like for me it will instill confidence in the embodiment of your own.
The Ying level class will focus on the Primary channels and the many permutations of the Luo vessel network, but the patients will ultimately guide their own treatment. Each day will begin with a brief discussion of considerations that I believe important to be mindful of in working with patients. We will talk about pulse diagnosis and visual inspection relevant to Luo Vessels. I’ll try to address any lingering questions or concerns and then we will demonstrate a treatment.
The afternoons will be for participant practice, not of skills as in previous classes, but of the conversation between patient and practitioner that is a treatment. I will provide supervision and feedback as desired and participants will be encouraged to bring patients if they wish.
Because of the practical nature of the course, participation is limited to 16 students. Priority will be given to people who have studied theory via the mentorship, but the course is open to any practitioner or student of acupuncture.

November 22-24, 2024: Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Clinical Skills Practicum: Yuan Level
Course Description
This is a practical class, where pulse assessment, needling techniques, and treatment strategies will be demonstrated and then practiced together. The goal, as always, is to instill confidence and provide support for practitioners in honing their clinical skills.
The course will focus on the Divergent channels and Extraordinary vessels: vibrating pulses & needling, SDS & DSD needling, and point selection and location. Each morning will begin with a brief discussion of important considerations when working with the Yuan level, followed by a demonstration of needling techniques and pulse assessment. Then we will practice together for the rest of each day. I will also demonstrate a Da Bao Bao Mai treatment.
Because of the practical nature of the course, participation is limited to 12 students. Priority will be given to people who have studied theory via the mentorship, but the course is open to any practitioner or student of acupuncture.

October 4-6, 2025: Melbourne, Victoria, Austrailia
Clinical Integration: Yuan Level
Course Description
This course is the evolution of the theory and skills classes that we’ve done together. The aim is to model my own treatment style, my personal integration of pulse reading and channel theory into the conversation between patient and facilitator that constitutes an acupuncture treatment. A truly successful practice can only come from a place of truth: we can’t treat as someone else does. We can’t treat as a future version of ourselves. We can only offer what is truly ours, in the present; what we’ve absorbed and cultivated in our practice. It is my hope that by demonstrating what that looks like for me, it will inspire and instill confidence in the embodiment of your own.
The Yuan level class will focus on the Divergent channels and Extraordinary vessels, but the patients will ultimately guide their own treatment. Each day will begin with a brief discussion of considerations that I believe important to be mindful of in working with patients. I’ll try to address any lingering questions or concerns and then I will demonstrate a treatment each morning.
The afternoons will be for participant practice, not of skills, but of the dance between patient and practitioner, with supervision and feedback from me as desired. Participants will be encouraged to bring patients if they wish.
Because of the practical nature of the course, participation is limited to 16 students, and priority will be given to people who have studied the theory via the mentorship course. Practitioners and students without previous study of these channel systems may attend and practice techniques but not full treatments.
