My license is LAc, which is Licensed Acupuncturist, in Texas and Minnesota. I also am a Certified Practitioner of Tuina bodywork, and a Certified Cupping Therapist. I have a white coat that I keep in a closet. If it makes you happy, you\u2019re more than welcome to put it on while I treat you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, I\u2019m the Legislative Director for the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia, and I\u2019m the President of the Texas Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. So yeah, I\u2019ve got a few feathers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
