Welcome
You are here from this or a new start
We will cover . .
What is not taught, yet makes a great change in your clinical enjoyment, results, and is easy to add in to whatever style you are playing with in practice.
I had no idea what to do in starting my own practice in Brisbane city in Feb 1979 – so I winged it. It had to work as I was a single mum of a 2 year old, living in another country, no car, no family, no child care.
Here we are, 46 years later – it did!
How I managed as we learned classical acupuncture (5 elements style) – no TCM back then – was to be hands on – this was easy as Dr van Buren, whose notes were used, and who I saw in workshops in 1978/79 was an osteopath prior to becoming one of the major acupuncture teachers in UK. See more on VB here
My initial acupuncture teachers were George Kniepp, who retired to the Tablelands, (where I am) – he was brilliant as an inspired energy teacher and fioudned his own cimmunen to study the classics, pulses and communal service, Then there was his replacement or 2.5 years – a chiro who was ahead of everything, and taught besides the acup content, Touch For Health (was just coming in), various soft tissue corrections, joint mobilisations and more ‘spiritual’ ways of being – thus this eclectic bunch – I thought WAS acupuncture.
I was a bit stunned when no one else knew what I was taking about. I heard a different set of instructions than the others in the class – it was as though someone turned my lights on and I lived to go back for the next installment in class. Being body /heart centred meant that ‘hard cases’,
I started where they were – in/on their body, and got, as Dr John F Shen said “the patient’s love”. The Shen to Shen relationship is key.
Hence I teach the way I do – with all – in every step of this life. In service.
For the Highest Good Of All Concerned.
My real teacher was my life, Likely you have also found this. Thankfully in the late 70’s, we paid as we went – and had to pay course fees up front, so I was not left with a massive debt dangling. I could immerse myself in discovering how I could help – and made sure I went to all classes, opportunities that presented themselves. Quickly I learned that people want a relationship, they need touch, and must go out enriched from the interaction.
I needed to not burn out. You may be able to relate. Some of us seem to care way more than those who seek our assistance.
If you have not seen this page – go there now?
I am not involving myself in working out how to market with fancy Canva and what not.
Skills to share are problem solving, thinking around corners, from asking different questions – of ourselves first.

TO TAKE AWAY TO USE IN CLINIC TOMORROW
TRIAGE – Calm the Shen, Retrieve the Yang Qi, Undo scars ad their hold on fascia thus Qi flow
Instant changes – micro bleeding – MOVE that Qi
This started with plantar fascilitis and spread to all little luo and the raft of shifts so easily done – one prick.
This is NOT bleeding as you normally see – we are doing Heather’s Gentling Ways. .
Adhesions – fascial tissue all gummed up – here we go into ‘touchie’ work – my belly work including lymph moving. (Damp)
Scars – big subject – not a matter of needling.
Stuck Belly Blood – a combination of Kiiko to begin with (1994 workshop) and I then added in . . .
‘Diagnosis’ – tongues, mu and shu and Hou Tou points using our hands – all sacral/ coccygeal findings, the belly and how we can vastly change instantly – Shen to Shen – they trust – and feel safe – hands first.
1 – SHEN:
PV/Accident Recall,
Thread moxa (anxiety fixing)
Brazilian toe touching,
Grandma cuddles,
Breathing into heaters,
Reichian Armour banding,
Dr John Shen’s 9 ‘cardiac’ issues and how they happened – what it looks like over time (the early life being so crucial to the rest of this time in this body).
Second run of Bl points and extras
Sternal needles – what I have worked out (none of this is via texts/classics – although what works always does and may be written somewhere),
“Picket fence’/Shokanten points
Windows to the Sky
GV 1 and why
2 – Cold out – Yang Qi must be active, not blocked protecting bits and regions.
We can feel – and use a digital thermometer gun so they can see numbers – all respond to these ‘facts’!
Educating as to what Yang Qi does and why we must do this.
Moxa and its use in clinic – how to and steps to get around the troubles it causes us.
The recipient of care’s role in preserving their own life force, not going off on alternate to life paths. (Ice baths, ‘grounding’ on cold surfaces, and others
3 – Scars and their legacy – why this matters – Qi is constrained.
More than needling the apparent – the lead up to whatever happened, what also was going in, why this matters., what they feel about the incident, the physical presence of the scar, what it means in their life now, and what they can do at home to lessen the aftereffects.
Adhesions – integral in this is allowing the viscera, the peritoneum, the surrounding tissues to return back to where the body can slide, glide as designed.
WHERE TO START – anywhere:
Hands-on belly is my suggestion. Why? Dr John Shen said – ‘first get the patients’ love’. I took this to mean – being on the same page – there to help.
When I began in the late 70’s, I had all lie face down (turned off their brain) to calm the getting to me , and the head full of troubles. To communicate with themselves. This was my version of rolfing – gently. Touch. Undoing so much. We chatted whilst the Qi was released and I could work out what to do, as being a beginner, where to start, what to do was not obvious. They wanted to be out of pain – I wanted to know why the body had not resolved this itself.
They need to become calmer. . and to trust. Not straight into needles in and we go away – but more personal relating. We are primates . . .
This may be a surprise , but were you them – what you would wish for?
Whatever form this takes – here I am leading you into where the lymph is cleared (Damp) thus the Qi is more likely to.
