Speaking Engagements:
- I love sharing with my community. I’ve spoken twice at the Acupuncture New Zealand conferences for the last couple of years, and for the last three years, I’ve been running practical workshops in Auckland, demonstrating to fellow acupuncturists how to apply the theory of the complement channels into everyday practice. Back in 2009, I was also a lecturer at Wellpark College for Natural Therapies in acupressure.
