Over the last 20 years, I have participated in countless trainings in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture around the world, leading me to one conclusion: Dr. Poney Chiang offers something truly outstanding!

If you want to get a VERY clear picture of how to treat Neurological conditions, this is the training you absolutely have to attend. Dr. Chiang's extensive research not only sheds light on the anatomical and neurological knowledge he has uncovered but also makes it crystal clear how ancient practitioners knew exactly what they were doing when treating specific conditions with the specific acupoints as described in the Classics. You will be amazed at how much these practitioners already must have known about anatomy and neurology in the old times.

Attending his training revived my love for Acupuncture on multiple levels. I participated in a summer school session in Toronto in 2022, which was an intensive two-week program packed with valuable information. I highly recommend this training, so if you have a chance to take part in this more approachable 9-day version of Dr Chiang's program, with the timewise extended training and breaks in between REALLY giving you the time to absorb what you learn, offered through International Lectures, don’t think twice—register! It's a significant investment of time, money, effort, sweat, and joy, but entirely worthwhile.

In any case, I'm eagerly looking forward to participating in this upcoming series again!

It is so refreshing when you complete a program and actually walk away with new knowledge and very useful at that.

Poney is an excellent instructor and his vast knowledge in the TCM profession is impressive and drawing.

I would recommend this course to anyone with a background in the healthcare field. I feel this course would benefit many therapists with a background in acupuncture and those professionals working/specializing in neurology or neuropathy, sports medicine. Thank you, for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

I was looking for an acupuncture course that synthesized the wisdom of the Classics in acupuncture theory with our current understanding of the body. I found it here. Poney is a great teacher – he has distilled the most important information for us from current research and from people who are leaders in their field, e.g. Travell, Gunn, and Wong. This course has saved me time on doing this research myself.

The modules are well-organized and are designed to be very practical for the clinician who uses, or wants to use, acupuncture in their practice. Every week, I am able to use what I learn the next day in my clinical practice with great results. My relationship with the myofascia and the nervous system will never be the same!

I have a deeper understanding and appreciation of this modality on improving all kinds of conditions or issues.

For those interested in learning a beautiful approach in uniting both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and evidence based medicine (EBM) philosophies to treat your patients this course is for you. Dr. Chiang’s selfless and dedicated passion to teach students can be felt during our hands-on practical sessions. His side-by-side support, along with the dedication of excellent TA’s, gives students the chance to really understand and apply Dr. Chiang’s techniques of healing.

By analyzing the classical texts and cross-referencing these teachings with the latest findings in EBM, it makes us realize how advanced our forefathers were when dealing with treatments. It has been a pleasure and I will always be grateful to have learned from Dr. Chiang. His teachings have helped me grow as a student and a future doctor.

If you are considering furthering your skills and knowledge in TCM, neuromuscular anatomy and the latest EBM techniques in treating pain conditions this course is for you.

I would recommend the Advanced Integrative Acupuncture program to anyone who does, or has interest in, treating neuromyofascial pain in their practice. Poney Chiang is an excellent instructor and extremely knowledgeable in this field. This course seamlessly integrates both Eastern and Western views in treating and diagnosing not only pain, but also many systemic conditions that involve the nervous system.

Since taking this course, I have a wider perspective on how to diagnose causes of pain. I also have more focus and direction when developing a treatment plan. From a practical standpoint, this course teaches many techniques which are very effective and can be implemented easily in one's practice.

I am a student at Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and I highly recommend Dr. Chiang as a teacher. I have received much post-secondary education including a medical school in Japan and from that experience I can say Dr. Chiang is a cut above as a teacher. He has ways of making the lecture interesting and presenting rather difficult medical topics in a clear and lucid way

It was an honor to study under Poney Chiang. Never before have I encountered such keen intellect and searing integrity blended with a high degree of honor for the lineage of Chinese medicine and his place within it.

The one semester I was his student, impressed upon me the beauty of being dedicated to one's chosen profession and the importance of comforting yourself with discipline, humility, and the standard of excellence established by the Chinese medicine elders.

He far surpasses his peers with his accomplishments to date, and he stands poised to distinguish himself in the field of Traditional Oriental Medicine.

David is an inspiring lecturer with lots of experience. Exciting, extremely knowledgeable and fun. I left with good insights that I could immediately put into practice. I'm looking forward to the next time I can participate in his lectures.

I think that David Hartmann is an amazing presenter. I have been lucky to enjoy several of his lectures about acupuncture and the practice of this art in different dimensions. From the first minute, he captures your attention with a torrent of knowledge and references knowing perfectly how to deliver it to you. He is that kind of generous teacher that is able to give you all and creates in you a strong interest to study more. David connects with the audience from the heart with a humble and sincere attitude that makes it easy and pleasant to learn with him.

A warm, personal and insightful weekend. Travelling through the Five Phases and connecting with facial features was a very rich and wonderful journey. Thanks again!

Loved Nicholas and his style of teaching - very relaxed and informative.

Every year as practitioners we often wonder what course will best advance our practice help us achieve better results. Sohial's psycho-emotional course, is that course! He has created an amazing synthesis of western psychology with a TCM application, which in all honesty is second to none.

His course will allow you to treat at the level of Shen which I believe is a must for any chronic condition.

If you want to be an expert you have to learn from this expert.

Sohial is truly the authority in the field of Psycho-Emotional disorders. Not only is his TCM knowledge unparalleled in this area, but his Western interpretation of the emotions and their relationships to brain chemistry perfectly meshes the TCM and Western Scientific Medicine (WSM) side of the emotions together. A passionate and clear presenter, Sohial leaves you completely inspired and armed with all the tools you need to tackle the toughest of Psycho-Emotional cases presented in your clinic.

I just spent 2 of the most inspiring days learning about psycho-emotional conditions from a true expert in the field. Sohial brought a whole new depth of understanding the emotions in a way I'd never known before and certainly nothing I learnt at uni, or after 16 years in practice from other seminars.

The integration of psychology, human behavior and TCM was dynamic and profound not to mention the addition of neuroscience and quantum physics. Sohial presents with great enthusiasm and humor to make such an in depth topic easy to relate to and understand.

Inspired! Great to attend a presentation that isn’t limiting perspectives to what’s inside/outside the box. Encouragement to look at the piece of art that is TCM and see it as many ways as possible. Great delivery pace and style.

My experience over the last two days has been unbelievable. My personal growth was as fast as Sohial talks. I would not hesitate to recommend this seminar to any practitioner. It bridges the gap from thousands of years of knowledge to today’s society.

The addition of Sohial’s psychological prowess completes the journey. Much appreciated experience. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic Course, given in easy to understand manner, many lightbulb moments. Five stars. Very happy. Amazing lecturer!

I love every moment! Each time I am attending I get surprised by the high level of teachings and the practical application of it in the clinic.

This is one of the best seminars I have attended. I learned so much with the theory component but it was so exciting to see what we learned practised and to have immediate effect. I look forward to putting what I got taught into clinical practice.

This has completely changed the way I think about the acu points I choose and how I will practice in the future.

Presenter is clearly an expert in the UAT. He presents the content clearly and in such a way as to make it easy to learn. He is quite patient. Thoroughly enjoyed learning and will put it into practice immediately.

The class was delivered in a fun interactive dialog. Lots of visual and immediate implementation made it easy to learn “user friendly”. I know I have found an Acupuncture system that treat pain immediately and effectively.

The weekend was very well organized. And the learned techniques, through good explanation, can be properly applied in practice. Thanks.
