East-Asian medicine is a clinical approach to health care that has been refined and honed over thousands of years. For most of that time the focus of its transmission has been the clinic, where knowledge grows organically out of experience as master practitioners pass on what they know to apprentices. We believe that a modern acupuncture program still must be grounded in the clinic. Read a Message from the Directors

"In many ways, my name says a lot about who I am. My first name is Nan, taken from my Korean name Gu-Nan. My middle name is Arita, which comes from a town in Japan that is renown for its porcelain. And finally, my last name is Schwarz, bestowed upon me by my German-American parents. I am an example of many worlds combined in a single person. My practice reflects this as well, as I utilize different styles of acupuncture and medical treatment depending on the person I am working with.
I first came to Chinese Medicine after experiencing a severe car accident, where my pelvis and femur were shattered. Acupuncture and herbal medicine were effective in dealing with not only the pain, but also the recovery itself. The compassion shown to me by my holistic practitioners was incredible, and eventually I moved away from a career in creative design and marketing to pursue this amazing healing practice. My goal is to bring the same sense of hope and healing that was given to me."
