Here's what my students are saying...

“I am enjoying this program so immensely, it's hard to express it… Putting the full channel medicine into practice is a many layered experience which is changing my life and those of my clients.

Often the changes are so big and so fast that clients cannot link it to the acupuncture - which is quite humorous for my ego :-), but after all these years in practice, I know that what is happening is not what I have experienced in the past… I am just listening to the Monday lecture on Primary Channels and weeping as we do the meditations (fluids moving, inspiration flowing) to be meeting my old friends so deeply, finally, after all these years together. It's a very emotional experience, as I had expected the Primary Channels to be "boring"! And I am moved to my core. This class is wonderful. It's what I had been waiting for and expecting on that first day of acupuncture school, sitting at the back of the classroom with deep reverence and expectation thinking to myself, "I have finally met my mate..." And here it is, the actual meeting I had intuited when I first saw an acupuncture chart on the wall of the Ohashi Institute as a young girl. Thank you to all of you for making this transmission possible!”

- Sharon Kraus

"I applied for the mentorship program to re-inspire myself in my work and practice, and to deepen my understanding and embodiment of the channels.

I knew this was a lineage I could put my trust and confidence in and I knew that Ann’s teaching style and intention were ones I could align and engage with. As a result of the mentorship, I am a different practitioner. I can lean into the knowledge that has come through Ann and also into the wisdom of the channels that are in me and the world I have access to, a resource that is always available. This, along with finally recognising the absolute vitality of intention, gives a trust in myself as a practitioner but also and maybe more importantly, in the medicine, the person, the body, and in life itself. I am now more and more able to meet my clients with a broad spectrum of conditions and ailments and to meet each person as a unique individual whose whole life has led them to this place where they have come for treatment. The treatments are leading to much more meaningful change and resolution for my clients than before, along with a deeper understanding in them of how they got to this place and what will lead them out."

- Lila Thanos

"Ann takes material that could be potentially overwhelming and helps us love it and engage with it in a calm and exciting way.

I also love that Ann repeatedly addresses the issues of lack of confidence in the clinic and encourages us to trust ourselves and connect to our inner knowing. This has been SO important for me. I also love the focus on cultivation of self as a practitioner. I am so very happy and thankful that I joined this program. I know that I have landed in the right place.”

- Adina Kletzel

"I wanted to do this program to understand Chinese medicine in the deepest way.

I wanted to feel like I can treat anything without needing to look to other people for protocols. I wanted to be able to think and feel my way through the medicine based on my understanding. I am 100 percent receiving this through the class. I feel like with each lecture Ann is introducing me to the channels in a new way and yet in the way I have always longed for in the medicine. I have settled into my practice and am now easily using Luo, sinews, extraordinary and now beginning to form my relationship with the primary channels.”

- Rachel Nevas

"Ann is a remarkable teacher—her depth of knowledge of Classical Chinese Medicine is astounding and her teaching is clear, immediately clinically applicable and inspiring.

I am so happy that I took the leap and signed up for the 2023 Graduate Mentorship program. I am coming away with a much deeper understanding of Classical Chinese Medicine as well as a whole new tool kit as a practitioner. I am far more confident about my ability to treat anyone that walks through my door and I am excited about my future as a practitioner of this beautiful, intelligent medicine! "
