Ming
The Chinese character Ming is made up of the characters for the sun and the moon. It means that which is bright and often refers to the light of our lives. My teacher, Jeffrey Yuen, chose this classical character for me. He gave me this calligraphy when I began my acupuncture practice and I have treasured it ever since.
About dr. Christopher
I grew up doing martial arts, which sparked a love of applied eastern philosophy. When I visited my father’s medical office, the patients would tell me how much they loved having a doctor who listened and cared about them, something which I try to emulate to this day.
I earned my Bachelor’s at Columbia University majoring in psychology and was looking for a way to integrate mind and body medicine when I met Jeffrey Yuen, 88th generation priest of the Jade Purity sect of Daoism. He inspired me to earn my Master’s degree at Swedish Institute, where he was the dean of curriculum. After 17 years of clinical practice, I continue my training with him today.
I’ve taken classical Chinese medicine classes in gynecology, endocrinology, psychology, oncology, pain management, sports medicine, as well as meditation. I’ve taken 3 years of courses in essential oils from a classical Chinese medicine perspective, 2 years of classical Chinese herbology, and a 1 year course in Chinese dietary therapy. I’ve also taken studied orthobionomy, gentle safe powerful way to set bones and release tendons, ligaments and fascia for several years.
During my masters program, I treated cancer patients at an outpatient clinic associated with MSKCC and I went on to lecture at Gilda’s Club, a center for people living with cancer and their families. I’ve also lectured at DOROT senior center and the New Age Health Spa. I was featured in two documentaries, “Crazy, Sexy Caner” and “The Miracle Herbs”, and I’ve been interviewed on local television and radio.
I taught at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, designing the curriculum for the Classical Diagnostic and Clinical Skills course for their Master’s degree in acupuncture. I’ve also taught post-graduate classes at the New England School of Acupuncture–the oldest acupuncture school in the country.
I’m happy to announce that I’ve earned my Doctorate in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health Sciences.
In my free time, I meditate, read, explore natural perfumery, listen to classical music, and enjoy history, art, food, and culture from around the world.
