How I work
A precise diagnosis first: the twelve pulse positions, or a movement test. Then a few selected points with short, targeted stimulation. Then a check of the result before the patient leaves the table.
Every method I teach went through one question in my own clinic: does it work, and can I check it on the same visit?
Stems and Branches
I have worked with the Stems and Branches system for fifteen years and consider it the foundation of individualized treatment: a date of birth points to the level and the meridians, and the pulse confirms which level is speaking today.
The video course is my twelve-hour course, and the six volumes that come with it set it out in full. Volume 1 is free.
How I teach
Knowing something and teaching it are two different skills. My courses are short and structured, cut to what I use with my own patients, and filmed on real patients.
Each course ends with the same thing: a way to check the result on your next patient.
