With Gratitude

I would like to acknowledge and thank Masakazu Ikeda sensei for demonstrating the extraordinary clinical possibilities of Traditional Acupuncture. To my patients, students, teachers, colleagues, friends and my beautiful daughters, thanks heaps for your tolerance. After 25 years as a parent and practitioner it has become increasingly apparent to me that the 'learning never stops'.
