CLASS MATERIALS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE UPON REGISTRATION UNTIL MAY 26.

Each year, Kiiko shares her new “favorites,” but over the decades, a set of twelve constitutional treatments has remained the foundation of her unique and powerful style of acupuncture. These deep, root treatments represent the core of Kiiko sensei’s life work, and are included each time she treats a patient.

In this class, you will learn how to quickly and accurately establish the root cause of the patient’s symptoms by combining history taking with Hara palpation, how to determine the best angle and depth of “Live Points” (i.e., precise locations that produce immediate results), how to confirm the effectiveness of your treatment, and then reinforce it with points on the back.

Monika Kobylecka, Kiiko’s protégé, has created a “Brief Introduction to Kiiko Matsumoto Style Acupuncture” (32 min) that provides an accessible overview of key components of this style to help students get started. Check it out!

This innovative webinar is entirely online with a unique hybrid of live and recorded elements, including:

• A comprehensive Vimeo showcase of recorded lectures by Monika Kobylecka and step-by-step treatment demonstration by Kiiko Matsumoto, available IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE UPON REGISTRATION UNTIL 11:59 PM PDT ON MAY 26.

• TWO live and interactive Q & A sessions via Zoom with Monika Kobylecka, on May 8 and May 9, 9AM - 5PM PDT with a lunch break from 11:45 AM-1:00 PM PDT. These sessions will be recorded and added to the showcase of videos within one week.

• The ability to get feedback on your palpation technique from Monika by submitting a short video clip. For details, click HERE. Optional, but recommended!

• Independent study of an optional reading assignment in Kiiko’s Clinical Strategies textbook and handouts that have been specifically prepared for the course by Monika Kobylecka.*
