As of Monday March 02 2009 My practice is moving from Campbell to Sunnyvale. I will be seeing patients at the follow this link for directions and maps to the clinic. My clinic hours are changing slightly so that I can incorporate a more organized curriculum of Qigong classes for your convenience: Hours in Sunnyvale: I am transferring my practice to Nine Star University because Philip Yang has founded an acupuncture school based on Qigong as the foundation of acupuncture study. This is in alignment with my understanding and experience and I look forward to practicing and teaching acupuncture there. On a practical note the excellent clinic and classroom facilities will be an asset to my practice and I am sure as a patient that you will be very happy with the beautiful clinic and the indoor Qigong classroom space of this new location. I look forward to seeing you there! The benefits to my patients:
I believe this move will add value to my practice. I know some people may be inconvenienced by the location change, but I think you will find that as a patient the new clinic will serve your needs well. I look forward to seeing you there!

I am an acupuncturist. I also teach acupuncture. Living in California I am licensed by the state to practice acupuncture and oriental bodywork, to use Oriental herbs in treatment, to teach Qigong (breathing and moving exercises) and to dispense some dietary advice. All of this I do.
Sacred Acupuncture is my version of acupuncture. As a patient I think you will find this type of acupuncture can do anything that acupuncture is well known for - it can relieve pain, improve energy, turn around many chronic disease patterns. Here is a 30 minute response to the question "What is acupuncture?" and "How does it work?" Just click on the link and your browser should be able to play the mp3 sound file, you can also download it to your computer or mp3 player: "What is acupuncture?" a sound file.
In the treatment we will talk for a while, then I will take the pulses and perform a Medical Qigong assessment. Now I can understand the illness or problem in your body from the Sacred Acupuncture perspective. I will tell you what I am finding and we will perform the acupuncture treatment. During this treatment you lie on a comfortable treatment table. Ultra-thin, sterilized acupuncture needles are inserted into safe points on your body. This is often a deeply relaxing and nourishing experience. During the treatment we might talk some more and I might ask you to breath in a certain way or focus your awareness on something. After some time we will have accomplished a healing and I will let you rest with the needles in for a while. Most people fall asleep or get very relaxed or energized in this section. I, or an assistant, will take the needles out, and when you come out of the treatment room we will run through any herbal treatment options, dietary changes or Qigong and Shengong exercises to do. The herbs are very safe and very healing. They come in the form of pills or capsules or teas. You will be shown any Qigong exercises specific to your condition. Do you want to recover? Then take the herbs, do the Qigong exercises and come to your acupuncture appointments - and you will get improvement.
Many patients come to Sacred Acupuncture to relieve their pain or recover from an illness. They go on to discover that not only does Sacred Acupuncture relieve pain, but that it also strengthens their immune system and boosts their energy. Some patients feel it increases their personal development or 'spiritual growth'. Some patients find that it reduces their stress and keeps them feeling in balance or at peak performance. For these reasons many of my patients come in periodically for maintenance Sacred Acupuncture treatments.
That's up to you. Do you want to recover from your pain or illness or imbalance? I will recommend a course of treatment for you. Typical courses of treatment might be 6-12 sessions, one week apart. For acute and/or painful conditions a few sessions in quick succession is often useful to break up the acute pattern. In this way we get quicker results. Sometimes patients decide to continue, in order to deepen the benefits. In this case I may recommend a series of twelve sessions spaced approximately one week apart.
A new patient consultation and treatment is $125 A regular treatment is $88 An extended treatment is $115 Sacred Acupuncture is often reimbursable by medical insurance and workers compensation insurance.
I have two clinic locations -the Sunnyvale clinic, and the Santa Cruz clinic. I also see a small number of patients in the Sacred Acupuncture Rounds at Five Branches University. This is a lower cost option, the treatment occurs in front of a group of acupuncture students.

The understandings of Sacred Acupuncture can be explored on my other website by using the link above. Currently these teachings are best suited to acupuncturists or people interested in healing. I teach ongoing classes at Five Branches University and weekend seminars in Santa Cruz and at Emperors College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Los Angeles.
I teach Sacred Acupuncture at Five Branches University in Santa Cruz. The Eight Extraordinary Channels according to Sacred Acupuncture
I teach seminars on Sacred Acupuncture. These seminars are designed for acupuncturists . CEU credits are available for California. There are currently seminars scheduled on a number of subjects. Each seminar is given at Five Branches University in Santa Cruz and at Emperor's college in Los Angeles.
This is my latest venture. This is a seminar for anyone interested in staying healthy or healing themselves. Humans have five 'bodies'. A physical body, a Qi or energy body, a Shen or Mental body, a Ling or spiritual body and an aspect which could be called the Tao or universal 'body'. Five Stars healing Seminars delivers you a powerful technology to heal each of the first four bodies, and to access the fifth. For any chronic illness or long term dis-ease, healing has to happen at multiple levels. This seminar will give you powerful tools that I have spent 30 years studying and using from various healing traditions from Europe, China, Japan, India, South and North America. More details will become available soon.
I sometimes organize a group juice fast. For information about the practice and value of Juice Fasting and detoxification, including the biannual group Juice Fast please see:
