    Enjoyed the course and still learned more about bleeding than was taught in school. I believe in bleeding and use it already in practice and will do so more.

    Great handouts and video demonstrations.

    Nicholas H.- United States

    A highly skilled and experienced teacher shares her extensive knowledge of bleeding. Excellent, detailed presentation of the techniques of bleeding, and multiple stories and cases illustrating it's power. Bleeding was discussed occasionally in my training, but this course gave me a much better sense of its wide range of application. Highly recommended!

    Henry B.- United States

    Excellent teaching style. Explains things thoroughly and completely making note of the little things that are gained from experience. Ensures the student has all the information including those important little details that often get overlooked during instruction. Excellent course and instructor.

    AMANDA K.- Canada

    Susan Johnson is an inspiration teacher. I am so grateful for her life's work. She generously shares all the details of her extensive experience. She is the real deal doctor of Chinese Medicine. She teaches the points brilliantly and gives so many useful details and insightful stories from her own practice. She continues to study and deepen her knowledge. Every student of acupuncture I've been practicing for 23 years like myself can learn so much from Susan Johnson. Both her presentation of the theory and training on how to logically figure it out for oneself are invaluable.

    Karen B.- United States

    Great course if you are interested in bleeding techniques! There is so much more to learn but it's a great resource for getting one step closer.

    I love Susan Johnson and the passion she has for Master Tungs Acupuncture. The material is clear, concise and well presented. I feel so fortunate as this is probably the closest most of us will get to training with a Master in our lifetime. Thank you, Susan, for imparting your thirty years of experience.
