Julie,

 

Sure. My basic training was TCM at Emperor's College. In addition to

that, on the acupuncture side, I've studied with teachers of several

styles (Korean, Japanese, French and non-TCM Chinese), and these days

mostly use a meridian style based in some of these. On the diagnosis

and herb side I've been quite influenced by John Shen, and do my best

to integrate his ideas. I don't think I said there were no books on

these subjects, but those that exist are probably better suited to a

professional audience.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Rory
