24/7 access to course material April 4 - May 12*

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.

This innovative, hybrid webinar includes both live and recorded elements,

• In-depth, step-by-step treatment demonstration by Kiiko Matsumoto via Vimeo, edited and captioned to highlight her use of constitutional treatment strategies.

• Two live interactive sessions via Zoom with Kiiko Matsumoto’s protégé, Monika Kobylecka, on April 11 & 25, 9AM - 5PM PDT. These will be recorded and added to the showcase of videos.
