RICHARD KWAN, Bsc, R.TCMP, R.Ac

Acupuncture Meridian System (AMS)

Formerly known as iAcupuncture

Treatment of pain is often based on Meridian Differentiation compared to the treatment of internal disorders based on Zang-Fu Syndrome Differentiation.  Meridian based Acupuncture integrates Wang Ju Yi’s applied channel theory in Chinese Medicine (China), Tung Style Acupuncture (Taiwan), Richard Tan’s Balance Method (US) and Japanese Acupuncture (Japan) systems.  This workshop summarizes how these famous Acupuncture masters have applied these ancient Meridian systems to produce effective results in the treatment of pain.

Richard Kwan’s innovative style of Acupuncture teaches the importance of palpation and intention to create effective and miraculous results even with a few needles.  Workshop includes lecture and treatment demonstration to enhance learning experience and empower practitioners with a variety of tools and insights to give simple yet profound treatments.

“It is rare to find an acupuncture mentor who not only achieves remarkable clinical results before your eyes, but who shares his immense knowledge with clarity, passion and kindness. I have had the privilege of studying under Richard Kwan both in the classroom, and in his actual clinical practice. He absorbs, integrates, and applies the wisdom of various acupuncture masters, blending the best of their approaches into his own unique style. The astounding effectiveness of his diagnosis, palpation, and needling must be seen to be believed. Richard is an incredible healer and teacher.”  Pauline Hwang, GEN-R.Ac
