KMS Early Summer School-- 2026
KMS Early Summer School-- 2026
Kiiko’s protégé, Monika Kobylecka, has developed this special “Summer School” class to illuminate the specific steps involved in Kiiko’s clinical decision-making and to help you work with greater precision and confidence. That is, to help you get better results in less time.
For this class, Monika has curated NINE of Kiiko’s treatment demonstrations into a Vimeo showcase (specified below).* One or two of these treatment demonstrations will be the focus of in-depth discussion during each of Monika’s FIVE “Case Workshops” via Zoom.
At these Case Workshops, Monika will show you How Kiiko Does It: the short cuts, jumps, and through lines.
Many of you understand that KMS doesn’t move from this symptom to that point. It requires understanding the patient’s somatic narrative, the chain of events underlying a pattern of painful, disruptive symptoms — and finding a way to interrupt or release this pattern. When this happens we witness the dramatic results — the deep healing — that Kiiko lives for, and that she’s spent fifty years sharing with us.
If it looks like magic, it’s also a learnable process. And no one can convey how Kiiko does it better than Monika, making each step of Kiiko’s magic transparent and explicable.
You’ll notice there’s a holographic quality to each of Kiiko’s treatments. If you thoroughly understand ONE treatment, you’ll grasp the essence of her whole approach. And if you deeply understand NINE of her treatments, you’ll be able to use this approach to take on just about anything.
This summer, find your flow. And go deep. Join this rich and immersive summer school experience with Kiiko and Monika.
Only $379.

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. Body memories of trauma and other significant history are reflected as tenderness at specific reflexes
“I continue to study with Kiiko because there are always deeper levels of understanding that I access with every class. When starting, her protocols 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 from Hillsboro, OR
“If Kiiko only taught knock-their-socks-off techniques for instant results--and she does--her seminars would be still be the best investment you could make in your practice. That she also inspires us to to think more flexibly, more deeply, and more creatively about our medicine is the reason she is the most influential and sought after acupuncture teacher of our time.”
