Description

I am a native San Franciscan. Upon graduating from UC Berkeley with a BA in Anthropology in 1974 I pursued projects of Visual Anthropology utilizing film and photography. In 1989 I became a diplomat with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and in 1990 I received my license from the California State Acupuncture Board. I then went to China for a six months internship at the affiliated hospital of the Heilinjiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Harbin. Subsequently I completed advanced course work at the Chinese International Oriental Medical Institute in Hong Kong, where I received certification as Doctor of Oriental Medicine.
