Master of Science in Oriental Medicine with AOMA

The rigorous four-year Master of Science Oriental Medicine program at the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin requires 2800 in-class hours advanced studies beyond Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and acupuncture. Great emphasis is given to western medical courses as well as advanced complex diagnosis for accurate and specific herbal medicine formulation. Psycho-emotional states and approaches are innate to this holistic approach as is nutrition and lifestyle. AOMA has recruited master teachers and multi-generational teachers from China and worldwide who bring great depth and high expectation to their instruction. AOMA is a rare school that requires the ongoing studies in Oriental Bodywork, offering both Zen Shiatsu and Tuina (Chinese orthopedic massage) as well as ongoing studies in internal martial arts, offering TaiChi and Qi Gong (varied forms). Students intern over 1000 hours in the student clinic beginning their first year as observers moving on to interning as acupuncturists and then as herbalists to enable students to pass the NCCAOM's national herbal boards as well as the standard acupuncture boards. The Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin has continued to grow, recently joining the Bastyr community, and has been ranked in the top 3 to top 5 acupuncture school in the US since before I began my studies there in 2000.

Certified "Stress-Less" Stress Reduction Facilitator

"Stress-Less" is a comprehensive stress reduction hypnosis program created by Don Mottin, the Vice President of the National Gild of Hypnotists. It is appropriate and effective for individual, small group and corporation presentation formats. Stress, and its related emotions, has long been recognized to be the root of most chronic illness and pain conditions. It is also a common root to the blockages and self-sabotage many people encounter when finding a disconnect between their present behaviors and their goals. Hypnosis is, in truth, self-hypnosis facilitated by a professional hypnotist who will guide a person to discover their out-grown or unhealthy subconscious associations to be replaced with healthier and more productive subconscious associations to calm stress, improve health and enable personal and career growth achievements.

Traumatic Brain Injury Studies

Traumatic Brain Injury studies with Dr. Susan Wolf of Empowerment Research, LLC of Phoenix Arizona in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Education. Dr. Wolf's approach to brain injury accepts that brain injury effects can result from causes beyond the standardly accepted severe physical head injury. Chronic emotional or environmental stress impacts the health and function of brain function. In this perspective, long-term childhood or domestic abuse could result in changes to regions of the brain, impacting emotional and logical responses similar to the range of symptoms with the traditional diagnosis of PTSD. Emotional trauma can have a physical effect making it challenging for someone to "just get over it" without additional help. Dr. Wolf teaches educators and the public, as well as affected patients and families, in recognizing symptoms of different types of brain injury and in the development of individualized techniques to aide function for greatest improvement in daily life and long-term goals.
