David A

David is passionate about what he does for a living. He did his TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) training, receiving his MS in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University and his massage training through the Brenneke School of Massage. His clinical residency was finished in Shanghai, China, with shifts in internal medicine, psychiatry and trauma. In pursuit of a deeper way to address the mental-emotional causes of illness, David pursued a second system of Chinese Medicine - Classical Five Element Acupuncture, for an additional three years of study.

David is a Zen Buddhist and teaches meditation/qigong at several venues around Seattle. He's had the good fortune of training in various martial arts with extraordinary teachers - Kim Ivy, Zen Master Ji Bong, and Sifu Melinda Johnson. Integrating qigong and meditation allows for a powerful adjunct piece to an individual's treatment plan and David is honored to work with people on such a profound level of healing.
