About Chris

about-chris-smallerI have spent 15 years studying with Edward Obaidey, a world-renowned acupuncturist in Tokyo.

My interest in acupuncture and Chinese medicine originated over three decades ago, when I sought a healthier method to treat my allergies and asthma, after my local pharmacist told me the drugs I was taking were harmful. I was thankful and incredulous that these fine needles and exotic herbs could rectify my health concerns so effectively, enabling me to give up my allergy shots and medications.

As I continue on the path to wellness, Tai Chi, Qi Gong and meditation have been my allies. After 20 years of practice, I continue to deepen my understanding and my treatments continue to reach higher levels of refinement, month after month and year after year.
