Tendino-Muscular Meridians: Where Energy meets Fascia
Also: TMMs for Fibromyalgia and Cellulite
Because the Tendino-Muscular Meridians run through the fascia and nourish the skeletal muscles, they are particularly useful for healing
structural problems and injuries. Chinese texts prescribe them for "pain or stiff, strained or twisted muscles along the course of the channel."
Also, work with these channels often results in "unwinding" of tensions associated with emotional armoring. We will explore the meridians with
techniques from acupressure and Shiatsu that can be incorporated into sessions and also given to clients for self-treatment.

TendinoMusclular Meridian Acupressure (TMMA) Extended Course
The TendinoMuscular meridians of Chinese Medicine traverse the fascia and nourish all major muscle groups. Participants learn effective
techniques that gently open the meridian pathways in the fascia to improve the circulation of Qi and Blood and address the pain of conditions
like fibromyalgia; cellulite and muscle strain and injury. Because it opens the alignment of the planes of fascia along the meridian pathways,
the work is practically effortless for the practitioner and comfortable for the client in pain.
Part I: The course includes an overview of the twelve TendinoMuscular meridians of acupuncture theory, their associated muscles,
assisted gentle stretches, and specific manual techniques for each of the twelve meridians. Each day addresses one Yin/Yang pair of
meridians (e.g. Lung/Large Intestine) and the agonist/antagonist/synergist relations of the associated muscles.

Western Body, Eastern Mind
Integrated Anatomy & Physiology for Asian Bodywork Therapists and other Holistic Practitioners
100 Hours: 4 Three-Day Weekends or 25 4 hour weekday sessions
This intensive course provides an A&P course relevant to one's professional practice by providing both an introductory overview (or review)
of western anatomy/physiology and a bridge connecting modern western scientific knowledge with the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese
Medicine. This is accomplished by comparing and contrasting western and Chinese organ/physiological theory, identifying the influence of
acupoints and meridians on muscles and organs, and teaching the muscles and bones in relation to location of acupoints. We also use the
more left-brain, analytical, western description of biological structure and function to gain insight into the more holistic and metaphorical
language of the eastern system. Meets the AOBTA requirement for Anatomy and Physiology.

Qi Kung: The Six Healing Sounds
This practice is at least 5,000 years old, based on ancient Taoist practices for longevity (and some say immortality!). These are very powerful
yet simple exercises or gestures, which are accompanied by specific visualizations and sounds. Qi King (means cultivating energy) clears
negative energies/vibrations from your internal organs. This allows the clear cultivation and circulation of universal life-force energy through
all your organs. Important practice for health care practitioners.
