Hello,

I have just joined the IASTAM e-group list and was asked to introduce
myself.

I am a japanese-style acupuncturist residing in Seattle, Washington
and the President of the Toyohari Association of North America as
well as a founding member of and instructor for the Japanese Acupuncture
Institute.

I teach classes on Japanese Acupuncture around the U.S. and
these classes include the history of the development of Japanese
acupuncture as well as the different paradigms/systems and clinical
techniques that have developed within Japan.

I began my sojourn into the world of asian medicine through studying
Tibetan Medicine with Dr. Yeshe Dhonden and have a broad interest
in all asian medical systems.

Thank you very much.

best wishes,

Brenda Loew, M.Ac., L.Ac.
