Great emphasis is given to western medical courses as well as advanced complex diagnosis for accurate and specific herbal medicine formulation. Psycho-emotional states and approaches are innate to this holistic approach as is nutrition and lifestyle. AOMA has recruited master teachers and multi-generational teachers from China and worldwide who bring great depth and high expectation to their instruction. AOMA is a rare school that requires the ongoing studies in Oriental Bodywork, offering both Zen Shiatsu and Tuina (Chinese orthopedic massage) as well as ongoing studies in internal martial arts, offering TaiChi and Qi Gong (varied forms). Students intern over 1000 hours in the student clinic beginning their first year as observers moving on to interning as acupuncturists and then as herbalists to enable students to pass the NCCAOM's national herbal boards as well as the standard acupuncture boards. The Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin has continued to grow, recently joining the Bastyr community, and has been ranked in the top 3 to top 5 acupuncture school in the US since before I began my studies there in 2000.

Traumatic Brain Injury Studies

Traumatic Brain Injury studies with Dr. Susan Wolf of Empowerment Research, LLC of Phoenix Arizona in conjunction with the Arizona Department of Education. Dr. Wolf's approach to brain injury accepts that brain injury effects can result from causes beyond the standardly accepted severe physical head injury. Chronic emotional or environmental stress impacts the health and function of brain function. In this perspective, long-term childhood or domestic abuse could result in changes to regions of the brain, impacting emotional and logical responses similar to the range of symptoms with the traditional diagnosis of PTSD. Emotional trauma can have a physical effect making it challenging for someone to "just get over it" without additional help. Dr. Wolf teaches educators and the public, as well as affected patients and families, in recognizing symptoms of different types of brain injury and in the development of individualized techniques to aide function for greatest improvement in daily life and long-term goals.

Touch for Health - Level III Certified
A Touch for Health treatment includes muscle testing (kinesiology) for diagnosing imbalances followed by the application of finger pressure, ranging from feather-light touch to vigorous deep frictional pressing, to specific points on the head, neck and trunk. As Lea quickly and continually saw fantastic results in her inclusion of TFH in her massage sessions and as stand-alone mini-treatments for friends, she opted to forego the next level of training (to become an instructor) to instead begin her studies of Oriental Medicine upon which this modality is largely based.
