I offer and contribute to a variety of educational courses and curricula. Teaching is an exciting and rewarding part of my work. The world of Asian medicine is rich with fascinating topics to benefit our modern lives. It is my passion and joy to share these tools with my local and global community.
I have lectured and participated in a range of workshops, panel discussions, and other projects. I have lectured at Stanford School of Medicine, San Francisco State University, Five Branches University, the Shang Shung Institute School of Tibetan Medicine, and other venues. I am a certified Instructor of Tibetan Medicine. I am certified to offer continuing education courses for California Acupuncturists. I teach on a range of topics within the sphere of my training in Eastern Medicine. These include:
Chinese Medicine | Tibetan Medicine | Herbalism | Acupressure & Self-Massage
Health & Wellness | Diet & Nutrition | Healthy Lifestyle | Sleep Hygiene
Therapeutic Guided Meditation | Pain Management |
