Ted Kaptchuk, OMD

I have known Anastacia for many years and I have always been impressed by her teaching skills in Chinese herbal medicine. She offers a unique combination of lecturing experience, deep knowledge of Chinese medicine, long experience in the use of patent remedies and enthusiasm which make her lectures a great learning experience.

Giovanni Maciocia, LAc

Anastacia White is able to distill the essentials of TCM Herbology, diagnosis, and use of Chinese herbal formulas into a cohesive and digestible form that is easily put into practical use by the medical acupuncturist. Without reservation, I recommend her course to any physician wishing to (expand/ deepen/ fortify) an acupuncture practice with the use of Chinese herbal formulas.

Nancy Cotter, M.D.

Practicing Chinese Herbalist and teacher, Anastacia White is a treasure of knowledge, experience, and wisdom. I recently completed her course on TCM gynecology issues, focusing on fertility enhancement.  The information and insight I received in her class has lifted me to a much higher level of practice with herbal formulas increasing my effectiveness in treating these concerns. In the class, with clarity and ease, she reviews the Chinese physiology as well as western medical concepts, meridians and organs systems involved, and how to go about helping create the great and necessary changes for woman with fertility problems.

Ana imparts her knowledge concisely, yet completely I never felt overwhelmed, yet I felt like I was getting both a solid foundation as well as an advanced perspective.  I highly recommend her Fertility Enhancement course because she can help us all develop our skills and bring a much needed treatment option to woman who have had disappointing experiences with western medical approaches.  Ana is a pure delight as an instructor and a human being.  Her classes were ultimately beneficial and wonderful.

As a physician I am used to thinking about diagnosis in organ systems. As an acupuncturist, I think about wellness and it's impediments in terms of the mean energetic system and the five-element system. This course allowed me to bring my medical and acupuncture energetic thinking to the table and learned how to blend this with another traditional oriental model, Eight Principles. This knowledge gives me the ability to come up with a prescription for healing which includes the use of Chinese herbal formulas. I highly recommend studying with Anastacia White to expand your horizons. I value the contribution she has made to my thinking about health and healing.

Thomas Archie, MD

As a newly practicing acupuncturist, I found Ana's herbal seminars invaluable.  There was excellent foundation material which paved the way for her concise, detailed and thorough analysis of patent herbal medicines as they apply to specific medical conditions.  She was able to move from Westerm diseases and conditions to Chinese patterns with such clarity and recommend specific herbal remedies in order of  their effectiveness based on her years of experience.

This a wonderful introduction to Chinese Herbal Medicine. Anastacia teaches physicians conversant in acupuncture to begin responsibly incorporating herbal formulas available from western manufacturers. It rounds out the French Energetic approach to acupuncture that one is exposed to at the UCLA course.

Robert Schulman MD

I have spent time with Anastacia telephonically over the past couple of months, working on reviewing and consolidating my knowledge about the use of Chinese herbal formulas. I have spent time reviewing clinical cases with her during this time as well. I have found this an extremely valuable time to clarify and refine what I have learned and apply it in the exam room to patient care. Anastacia has helped me to tie together many loose ends of my Chinese Medicine education to begin to "see with the Chinese doctor's eyes". I highly recommend her telephone Chinese Herbal Medicine Course to anyone wishing to deepen and refine their understanding and use of Chinese Herbal Formulas in the care of patients.

Adrienne Clamp MD

In a friendly and open way, Anastacia will teach you what you need to know to build Chinese herbal medicine into your practice. It's overwhelming at first, but she can shepherd you through. Using Chinese herbs has been an extremely effective and rewarding addition to my psychiatric practice. I use Chinese herbs more often then Western psychotropics now. In addition, using TCM principles and concepts enriches my acupuncture practice as well as the psychotherapy I do with my patients. I've continued to consult w/ Anastacia after the course - it's the closest thing to a clinical internship without leaving your busy office. I'm indebted to her for all she has taught me and and continues to teach me.
