Catherine Burns, Certified Teacher
MS, L. Ac.
|
 Catherine Burns' dedication to the Chinese energetic arts began nearly 25 years ago, when she first felt a powerful surge of qi in her palm during a Taiji Chuan class. Inspired and curious, she began an exploration that took her from photography to acupuncture as a profession; today her patients include CEOs from some of the top Silicon Valley companies, medical doctors, authors, sports figures and international musicians to the owner of a Kentucky Derby Winner. She is a member of the Mountain View-based Network for Integrative Oncology and has been a senior acupuncturist at Stanford University, participating in studies funded by the National Institute of Health that examined the use of acupuncture to treat depression in pregnant women and hot flashes after menopause.
She has practiced Qigong and Taiji Chuan since 1985. She has taught at the San Francisco Zen Center, and currently offers Wuji Gong classes and Emei Qigong seminars to benefit sentient beings in San Francisco and Belmont/San Mateo, Los Altos and Palo Alto. |
