Passing along some big secrets

If you want to study, learn and practice Chinese medicine, it helps to have a friend on the inside.

I’ll be your guide.

I’m in the later years of my practice as an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. I got in early, got off to a great start, kept on going and never stopped. On a professional level, I’ve already proved everything there is to be proved many times over.

Now it’s time for me to pass along some big secrets about acupuncture and Chinese medicine to a few people.

Over 35 years of experience and treating tens of thousands of patients have taught me that Chinese medicine works, often best in the very areas where other medicines don’t.

I’ve also learned that Chinese medicine can be much more effective if you take a few simple and specific steps in your study and practice. That’s why I formed the Min Jie school, to show you what those steps are, how you can take them and encourage you along the way.

The Min Jie system can help you to heal yourself and become a better practitioner by cultivating simplicity, accuracy, precision, coherency, power and safety in your practice of Chinese medicine.

You've already taken your first step.
