Nan Yi Chun, Licensed Acupuncturist

Nan Yi studied Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City, where she received a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor of Science Degree.

Nan Yi grew up in Korea where her grandfather was a renowned herbalist. As a young child she became inspired by him and developed a very strong interest in Herbal Medicine. Nan Yi spent several years studying with him and he taught her about the nature of Yin and Yang, special herbal formulas and seasonal nutrient foods.

She studied Buddhism with monks at a local temple, and developed her own philosophy on the five elements after a year of study. These essential concepts are necessary in order to understand clearly the connection between the 5 viscera (5 Yin organs) and the 6 bowels (6 Yang organs) in the human body.

Nan Yi also learned to meditate and as she improved her ability she came to the realization that it was her greatest desire to help people who had emotional problems. She now uses this knowledge with her patients. She effectively teaches her patients to understand their symptoms and signs in oriental medicine, and shares information on the best way to maintain health, which includes diet and exercise.

Nan Yi contributed to an article in Vogue Knitting International Magazine, Winter 2003 edition. "Repetitive Strain Injury" A Knitter's Primer, on the use of Acupuncture to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The National Institute of Health has approved the use of acupuncture for the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Nan Yi has great success in treating this condition with many patients.
