Whitfield is very methodical with his approach to treating injuries in the field of sports medicine. I am so grateful that he is sharing his experience, knowledge and wisdom that spans over 30 years. I particularly enjoyed his consistent approach to treatment with his 4 steps, 10 techniques. He is very humble and authentic in his approach when discussing his experiences. I look forward to learning from Whitfield Reaves in person!
Marianne T.
Whitfield Reaves is a wonderful teacher giving all relevant information, staying on topic with great clinical stories and demonstrations to illustrate his material. I love the way he integrates modern western sports medicine wisdom with TCM methods.
Erica T.
Whitfield Reeves shares many years of personal practiced wisdom and methods in the area of Acupuncture Sports Medicine. I appreciate the opportunity to learn and directly apply his focused treatments after viewing the online course options. The Acupuncture Handbook of Sports Injuries Pain is my go-to reference guide for any muscular/skeleton complaint.
Coleen F.
Whitfield Reaves courses are so practical and useful in a clinical setting. Using his methods has been very effective for me getting results with patients. Every acupuncturist should take at least a couple of his courses.
Madison D.
Whitfield Reeves teaches his system in exactly the way I like to learn. The images are clear, he presents the information systematically, and the needling instruction is practical and useful.
Wendy B.
I would highly recommend the Sport Webinar series to any acupuncturists, especially those working in chiropractic clinics so they can better complement their treatments and have a deeper understanding of joint pain and injuries
Christine O.
Whitfield Reaves always gives you that little bit of extra info in these presentations that you don't get from his book. I am thoroughly enjoying the series.
Melony C.
Very well done: Organized, concise, fluent, practice based, humble , well spoken at a good pace.
Dan L.
Neil Gumminick is a pleasure to listen to. He clarifies and simplifies procedures to make it easy to carry through to daily clinic practice. Not only is he so well versed in what he is teaching, his care for his patients oozes out of him. Something that we should all aspire to....I think this course is a must for all acupuncturists. He makes it so simple to follow for things that are so complex. Fantastic speaker and good for all TCM as a reminder of how to care for patients.
Kathy K.
Neil is an effective instructor, the course material is novel and interesting. I plan on incorporating this into my practice. Recommended!
Aaron V.
I found this course very interesting. Although Im familiar with 5 element acupuncture, this course taught me that there is more to 5 element theory than you might think!
Patricia .
Neil is a fantastic teacher: clear, well prepared, and passionately dedicated to this system of medicine.

Janice Walton-Hadlock is an exceptional and gifted teacher making the use of this wonderful healing tool come to life and allowing one to want to embrace the whole Qi channel knowledge in one's everyday practice to enhance our patients' overall wellness. Thank you.
Bonnie D.
Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock is a passionate teacher and a pleasure to learn from. Her teaching opens us to another level of knowledge in oriental medicine that brings a new potential to one's practice.
Christine O.
Dr. Walton-Hadlock makes good, skeptic-proof explanations of why meridian theory makes sense, and why feeling the qi, in the meridians, and not just the pulses, will guide us in making more directed treatments that can be more effective.
Tobi P.
I loved this course. I was skeptical at first as to how we can learn to feel channel qi through an online course. The instructor explained it in a very accessible way that could be easily applied even though we weren't physically in the class. She also inspired a lot of confidence by continuously stating that we all had the ability to do it, and we just needed to develop it.
Salma A.
Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock has made discoveries that are yet to be fully appreciated and recognized in the fields of both oriental medicine and medicine of the west. Diversion of channels is so fundamental to the development of the disease.
Natalia K.
Janice continues to rock my world and change how I perceive and approach treatments. All therapists could benefit from her approaches and knowledge. I can't wait until she brings a new course!
Shenan J.

Janet S.
Dr. Janice Walton-Hadlock is a passionate teacher and a pleasure to learn from. Her teaching opens us to another level of knowledge in oriental medicine that brings a new potential to one's practice.
Christine O.
Excellent course and book. I love Dr. Janice's writing style, as if she were explaining these concepts in person in simple language.
Sandy A.
Janice is an amazingly engaging entertaining presenter. She makes it easy to follow along with her and start think outside of the box of standard TCM teachings. I'm looking forward to watching more lectures in this series and to reading her books.
Andreas L.
Neil is a fantastic teacher: clear, well prepared, and passionately dedicated to this system of medicine
Leonard K.
I attended a 5 Element school and this helped to deepen what I learned. It was wonderful to be able to be present in the treatment room. I also liked how Neil explained his point selection. I will be taking more of his classes! I've gained confidence in my ability as a 5 Element practitioner.
Kathryn T.
Neil Gumenick brings the Five Element practice to life, showing without a doubt the efficacy of this compassionate and deeply healing technique. He communicates clearly and gets to the heart of the matter by bringing us into his practice with his patients. The notes are succinct and complete. Neil's experience in the Five Elements practice is very much in evidence in this webinar, along with his wisdom and caring approach to his patients.
Mary L.
Neil Gumenick speaks my language. He gives you the visuals necessary to remember easily what he has imparted and I can remember it in a deep level. I always think that it would be nice just to plug yourself into these kinds of teachers and download their years of experience and knowledge. Neil freely lets you access this and gives so much of his wisdom and caring to help patients, his and mine and others Thank you!
Kathy K.
Neil is always terrific. In my clinic, the patients tend to tell me their life's problems which are the key to helping them heal. Neil helped me to use the points in a new way for specific emotional traumas. I will use this a lot.

Pedro V.
The teacher was very patient, thorough and knowledgeable.
Suzanne O.
The Basic KHT is an outstanding course. Not only is the information detailed and well presented, it has allowed me to learn a new type of treatment from the comfort of my home at my own speed. Having the ability to review the module a number of times and refer back to previous modules has been very beneficial. Dr. Lobash is a wonderful instructor and very easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this field.
Cathy S.
I was able to apply the class information right away in my clinic with good results.

Teresa G.
I'm now completely addicted to Susan Johnson Master Tung...I can hardly wait to take more courses in the series...Susan is an amazing teacher...and obviously very eager to share as much information as possible with her students...thank you!
Maria L.
Susan Johnson is an expert on Dr Tung's style of treatment. Her instructions are clear, full of practical information. I am able to apply what I learned immediately. Her style of teaching wakes up the passion for learning again, which I appreciate after 20 years of practicing acupuncture.
Ewa P.
I love Susan Johnson and the passion she has for Master Tungs Acupuncture. The material is clear, concise and well presented. I feel so fortunate as this is probably the closest most of us will get to training with a Master in our lifetime. Thank you, Susan, for imparting your thirty years of experience.
Wendy C.
Susan is an amazing clinician with an incredible ability to teach what she knows.
Mary D.
Susan Johnson, is a TEACHER. One learns on different levels, so it is knowledge that remains to build on.
Akupunktør L.
Loads of information. Course is very well taught. Susan is an encyclopedia of knowledge!
Ingrid K.
This is a fabulous course. I have attended live courses with Susan Johnson and there is so much information that I find it helpful to use the online course as a review. I can pause and repeat if I feel I did not get something. I can also pace myself, take a brake and return to the course refreshed.
Liane V.
It is a great class - fantastic information and wonderful teacher.
Robert P.
This is such a beautifully presented course. Susan is thorough and to the point with her teaching method and tells some very interesting clinical stories to relate back to the material without going off on a tangent as some other presenters can tend to do. Susan has a lovely way of really listening to questions and gives good practical advice. I have loved some of her insights and points about the role of the practitioner and very much appreciate her willingness to share the times when she has made mistakes so that we may learn from them. Thanks Susan for passing this knowledge on; it's priceless.
Savitri W.
This was a very well organized course with thought provoking lectures and lots of practical clinical information. Susan Johnson's teaching style is easy to follow and I appreciated the interweaving of specific point location videos to help clarify the material. I have been using some of the point combinations I learned in this course with good clinical success.
Mark E.
I watched all of the lessons at least twice and integrated my knowledge into my busy community acupuncture practice. It has really changed the way I practice.
Donna N.
This program is very user friendly. The points are easily incorporated into treating patients with immediate results.

Wendy C.
I recommend his program especilly because we will find a new treatment about multiple fibroids using 88.04-88.06 and degenerative knee pain using three gold.
Sangdae C.
This was an excellent course. Susan is a patient and precise lecturer and gives all of the information comprehensively without going off on unnecessary tangents. Her knowledge of this system of acupuncture is amazing and she doesn't hold back on giving this to her students. She repeats back questions before answering which is great as the questions asked by attendees are usually things I'd also like to know. I can't rate this course highly enough and have recommended it to others.
Savitri W.
Susan is a great teacher, who likes to teach and is more than wiling to share her knowledge, experience and downfalls in her career. She takes her time to explain the procedures. Love taking her courses.

I find so much information for my everyday work at the clinic, in Susan Johnson's courses. The details are fantastic.
Akupunktør L.
Susan Johnson is an inspiration teacher. I am so grateful for her life's work. She generously shares all the details of her extensive experience. She is the real deal doctor of Chinese Medicine. She teaches the points brilliantly and gives so many useful details and insightful stories from her own practice. She continues to study and deepen her knowledge. Every student of acupuncture I've been practicing for 23 years like myself can learn so much from Susan Johnson. Both her presentation of the theory and training on how to logically figure it out for oneself are invaluable.

Whitfield Reeves is the best. A great teacher, immense clinical experience, bases his recommendations on what he has seen work, is not afraid to challenge text book classics when it does not match his long term experience. Is wiling to share everything and does not have some secrets he is unwilling to share with everyone. He is a humble good man in service to his patients and the profession. His teaching will benefit thousands he will never know of.
Dan L.
Whitfield Reaves is a wonderful teacher giving all relevant information, staying on topic with great clinical stories and demonstrations to illustrate his material. I love the way he integrates modern western sports medicine wisdom with TCM methods.
