"She was excellent. She pushed me beyond my comfort zone and this challenged me to grow as a student and potential practitioner. Her stories of her life as an acupuncturist were inspiring and informative."

ITEA Faculty

The Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture is proud to offer an international faculty, who all have excellent qualifiations in their subjects. The core Classical Five-Element faculty have been awarded teaching certification through study with Professor J. R. Worsley and J. B. Worsley in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (CF-EA). The majority of our core faculty members continue to train in the CF-EA lineage at its highest levels.

It is hoped that all faculty will teach each group of students at some point during the program, but this may not be possible, as faculty is recruited on the basis of availability for each Intensive.
