Acupuncture Lifestyle is the CCCA Difference
The Classical Chinese medical approach encourages
prevention over treatment. Unfortunately, our
modern orientation seems preoccupied with treating
conditions as opposed to restoring health. The
best way to promote health is to "rationalize"
it as any other investment.
Thus was born the Acupuncture Lifestyle Investment.
It our way of removing the financial barriers
to healthcare, so that you receive acupuncture
with the frequency necessary to get and stay better.
If you plan on getting acupuncture more than five
times a year, then ask about how you can get acupuncture
sessions for only $35.
Meet the Director
Yang-chu Higgins
- Yang-chu Higgins imparts tools that allow clients to restore symmetry for themselves. These tools are based in Chinese meridian theory: for pain, they are influenced by Richard Tan and Kiiko Matsumoto; for wellness, Gary Craig among many others.
- Before Chinese medicine, Mr. Higgins studied Mandarin and classical Chinese at the University of Michigan and lived in Beijing on three separate occasions in the early 90s. He enjoys exploring orthodox renderings of history, economics, medicine, and emotion through his blog TheYangZhu.blogspot.com. He also shares tips on EFT and Chinese medicine his newsletter Manifesto Vytality.
- EFT, more commonly known as “tapping,” is a powerful technique that Yang-chu has used to successfully eliminate or relieve the clinical symptoms of frozen shoulder, insomnia, dermatitis, herpes, excess weight, and frequent urination. Judging from the reports of those who use tapping in the sports world, who tap to clear fears of speaking in public, or who tap to conquer procrastination, the applications seem limitless. Yang-chu has sought to focus his practice on detecting and then clearing the core issues that give rise to the perceptive state of stress—the substrate for illness. This has led him to combine EFT with theories East and West that assist in decoding the workings of mind.
- By tapping a client begins to restore symmetry for themselves. Each person is guided through a two-part process: physical and verbal. As a trained acupuncturist, Mr. Higgins suggests certain points for possible greater tapping efficiency. As a clinician trained to listen carefully, he functions as a verbal mirror to relieve symptoms. This allows for a space to emerge where individuals take accountability for new health possibilities.
