    This 3-day intensive is designed for practitioners ready to go beyond surface-level palpation.

    We’ll explore multiple styles of hara diagnosis, including kata-based forms and Kampo traditions and show you how to connect each to real-world treatment using acupuncture, moxa, and teishin.

    Rooted in Traditional Japanese Medicine and the ShinKyu method, this training blends hands-on feedback with theoretical integration from Shang Han Lun (SHL) and pulse diagnosis.

    With just 12 full participant spots and 5 non-ShinKyu seats (Day 1 only), this is a rare opportunity for focused mentorship and embodied learning. Early registration is strongly encouraged
