“The sages of ancient times emphasized not the treatment of diseases, rather the prevention of its occurrence. To administer medicine to a disease … is comparable to the behavior of one who begins to dig a well after he has become thirsty…… Would these actions not be too late?”

– Su Wen, Yellow Emperor’s Classics

Testimonials

"The class is truly a wealth of information. Both Drew and Anton are extremely knowledgeable and masters in their fields. They are both willing to share that knowledge with their students and patiently guide us as we learn to grasp new concepts, principles, and strategies. Given the complexity of TCM, especially when you first begin to learn it, Prof. Drew is always so thorough and patient, and breaks down complex concepts and strategies into simple, digestible terms and examples – it's such an awesome feeling when it clicks! Anton gives us the amazing gift of movement and Tai Chi / Qi Gong to incorporate as a vital healing modality into the herbs and nutrition practice. It's been an amazing journey so far, and I'm so thankful to have found this course."
