Description
Requirements/Rewards
Open to anyone interested in learning the Kiiko Matsumoto Style (KMS) acupuncture approach in addressing cardiovascular conditions as well as shen disorders.
This class is designed for those who have had some experience with KMS acupuncture and would like to expand their knowledge base to include KMS acupuncture for patients with cardiac patterns and those with shen disorders.
The strategies learned in this course will allow students to get more out of the classes they take with Kiiko herself because they will learn how to think the way she does about cases.
