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'.

Japanese Acupuncture and TCM

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Japanese Acupuncture is distinctly different in application from it’s 2nd cousin TCM.
In response to a question posted on the http://worldacupuncture.com forum I am re running this blogpost in an effort to distinguish the difference in the application of Japanese Acupuncture and TCM.

Japanese Acupuncture V Dry Needling

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

I write this post on this significantly wet winter morning, the ocean
continues to rage with wind torn waves and whitewater exploding randomly, relentlessly pounding the foreshore.
This week I presented two very different workshops, one for the
physiotherapists with whom I work in Brisbane, the other for a select
group of students.
The first  workshop, for the physiotherapists presented a [...]
