Kiiko Matsumoto's 2026 Master Class
Kiiko Matsumoto's 2026 Master Class
CLASS MATERIALS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE UPON REGISTRATION UNTIL MAY 26.
This class includes new footage from Kiiko’s clinic and her recent class at the Pacific Symposium in San Diego. In addition Kiiko’s protege, Monika Kobylecka, assisted her during her March class in Santa Cruz. The insight Monika brings to this new material is evident in her careful editing of new video material and her detailed explanations during her live Q and A’s. Together, Kiiko’s 2026 Master Class provides a clear window into Kiiko’s newest discoveries, the latest in a remarkable string of clinical pearls.
Join us for:
A deep dive into the Taoist context of St.9’s Chinese character (人迎 “Welcome to Being Human”) and how this reflects its location and surrounding anatomy, including the thyroid and carotid body.
An investigation into how needling this point stimulates the functions of the thyroid and carotid body and their critical role regulating parasympathetic/sympathetic balance, the limbic brain, anxiety, metabolism, cravings, appetite and weight gain. (Kiiko has playfully suggested this point functions like “Acupuncture Ozempic”).
And finally, a careful observation of the effect of St. 9 on a range of conditions seen in her busy practice. It appears that St.9 (perhaps, like the GLP-1 drugs!) can have a positive benefit on a surprising range of symptoms.
Consider the list of conditions Kiiko treats and discusses in this class:
Appetite & Libido Dysregulation
The primacy of the Water element
Pre-diabetes
Disc herniation, pain, and neuropathy
Long COVID
Systemic inflammation/Oxygenation
Post concussion
Achilles tear
Coronary artery disease
Piriformis release
Liver deficiency treatment with diode rings
Scoliosis
Shoulder pain
Hx. of Lyme disease
Poor balance, foot drop
Ulcerative colitis
Rotator cuff tear
And more
Once more, Kiiko offers a treasure trove of new and effective treatment strategies. This year’s Master Class also offers an opportunity to watch — and more deeply understand — how Kiiko uncovers these precious clinical gems: Her extraordinary insight into the nature of each point, each channel, each organ; Testing the most effective location, angle and depth of each point; And her careful process of verifying her clinical hypotheses. This knowledge and these skills can be brought to bear with each patient that we treat.

Kiiko Matsumoto Style acupuncture (KMS) combines ideas and techniques of Kiiko's teachers (including Master Yoshio Manaka, Master Kiyoshi Nagano, and Master Yoshihiro Kawai) with her own clinical ideas and experience.
KMS is rooted in classical Chinese medicine texts, with interpretations that often make connections with modern biomedical concepts.
Many of Kiiko's novel point selections are based on her investigation of Chinese point names--and how these characters anticipate contemporary medical insights. She integrates history taking with palpation, eliciting body memories of trauma and other significant history are reflected as tenderness at specific reflexes.
“I am physician from Kyiv, Ukraine and I have been working with military and civilian people. After treating the military patient with Kiiko’s Oketsu treatment, his weight decreased by 13 kg - due to fluid. Back pain and joint pain have been diminished accordingly. Shortness of breath disappeared. He could walk from 200 metres to 2 kilometres! Before acupuncture treatment this man repeatedly treated in hospitals in Kyiv with cardiac and diuretic medicines but without any significant effect. So he could came back to the Army and continue to defend us. I consider this a great result!
I have been practicing with acupuncture more than 10 years but due to Turning Point Seminars I just started getting acquainted with Kiiko Matsumoto's method and I am really excited. It is happiness to see the surprised eyes of our patients and the disappearance (or significant decrease) of long-term pain after one session.”
Kind regards,
Maryna Rubanista, MD
“Having attended Kiiko style classes since 2012, I can say that this study has completely transformed my practice. I was initially trained in TCM, and at first found it difficult to transition my treatment style to this new methodology. Fortunately, supplementing Kiiko’s teaching with instruction from Monika, bridged the gap. Kiiko’s virtuoso style can be hard to start with, but Monika then steps in and explains all the basics that lead to what Kiiko is currently doing. This one-two combo of seeing a master at work, and then having explanatory fill-in instruction really makes it easy to bring this method into the clinic.
KMS has improved my clinical outcomes and boosted my confidence in having a treatment for any weird thing that may come in the door. Instead of being an acupuncturist that can only treat pain, using Kiiko style has transformed my practice into focusing on internal medicine. Kiiko’s attitude of “I can do that with a needle” has helped me trust that what I need to accomplish in the clinic can be done with acupuncture.
This style definitely has appeal to my patients as well. Since it is so gentle, it is easy to deal with sensitive and needle-phobic patients. Additionally, they love seeing the changes happen as we work and test points. I can’t even say how many times they have described my treatment as magic. This is all due to what I have learned from Kiiko.
I continue to study with Kiiko because there are always deeper levels of understanding that I access with every class. When starting, the protocols she has are easy use and extremely effective in clinic. As my learning progresses, I understand more of the why and can apply these strategies in new ways. Sometimes I wonder if I have the time or money to apply to taking another class, but every time I am usually saying to myself within the first hour “Well, that right there just made this class worth the price of admission.” —Cheryl Kalsch-Lowrance, Hillsboro, OR
“I actually like the online format better than the in-person classes. Kiiko often speaks faster than I can take notes. With this format, I can stop the video frequently to write down the content. It actually takes me longer to get through a class than it would in person, but I'm able to assimilate all of the material without missing anything. I love being able to take the classes without incurring the significant expense or time that traveling to another destination would entail. These classes fit in my regular schedule without having to take time off work or commit a whole weekend to a class.” —Sandra Broberg from Seattle, WA
“The combination of theory and practical cases is ideal. I am able to reaffirm my knowledge and attend to my patients with the latest updates of Kiiko Style acupuncture. In my opinion, the time given in every course is perfect. It is enough time to study and take personal notes to look back after. Best system ever!!! Un fuerte abrazo and all the best for you.” —Karola Postler from Ciudad de México, México
“I enjoy my practice so much more and achieve much better results with the instant feedback of finding and releasing positive reflexes. As soon as I started using Kiiko style, the feedback from patients was amazing. Kiiko Matsumoto Style Acupuncture has been an absolute game-changer in my clinic.” —Rachel Steward, Gold Coast NSW, Australia
