Our Approach

to Work

With two locations, we are approaching work differently. While most academic insitutions have a strict heirarchy within their organizational chart, we approach it as a modular system, focusing on needs of each microsystem and the strengths of our leaders. This decentralized approach allows for innovative workflow and autonomy among staff members who are the most knowledgeable in their areas..<br>

to Education

No school was the same after the pandemic, and we are aiming to take all of our experience and knowledge to provide an accessible, hybrid experience for students with meaningful immersive experiences and academic excellence. By leveraging hybrid education, students are further able to gain access to instructors across the country to learn from their unique expertise and experience.

to Alumni Services

The acupuncture and integrative medicine community is a small one, and we believe in coming together in the spirit of abundance and generosity. Our alumni services are open to all alumni of any academic institution for acupuncture and integrative care. All are welcome!

to Care

Personalized integrative care meets you where you are and supports you in your health and wellness goals. We aim to povide exceptional patient-centered care through practitioners who are compassionate and extraordinarily competent and knowledgeable.
