What is it?
Over the years I’ve received requests from people expressing a wish to learn Classical Acupuncture in the tradition of Dr Jeffrey Yuen. I  have received the transmission of the entire complement channels of Classical Acupuncture from his long term student, Ann Cecil-Sterman. She has requested that I start sharing this unique and profound system of medicine with others.

The mentoring programme is a hands-on interactive workshop in Classical Acupuncture. This is envisaged as a rolling programme to serve the needs of acupuncturists wishing to receive mentoring in the complement channels.

The programme will consist of a series of one-day workshops that can be attended individually or together. Places are limited to 8 attendees per workshop to enable maximum hands-on exposure and supervision.

Aims of the workshops
The focus will be on treating patients using the Complement Channels, with ample time for case taking, taking the pulse, discussing treatment strategies and assessing treatment outcomes. 

Who is it for?
The workshops might be of interest to newly qualified acupuncturists as well as those who have attended Ann’s workshops or have an interest in learning this tradition.

Recommended reading
We will use Ann Cecil-Sterman’s books as reference throughout the programme:

  • Advanced Acupuncture: A Clinic Manual. Protocols for the Complement Channels of the Complete Acupuncture System: the Sinew, Luo, Divergent and Eight Extraordinary Channels
  • The Art of Pulse Diagnosis : A step-by-step exploration of the method, directionality, organ energetics, complement channel pulses, textures, and images.
