Lotus School Adds Advanced Degree in Acupuncture
In January 2021, the Lotus School of Integrated Professions is
launching a master’s degree in acupuncture/Oriental medicine. Taught through
the lens of classical Chinese medicine, it is designed to help students
understand how a person moves through the phases of a day, month, season and
life, and find balance with each. One of the missions of the school is
intentional creation. This means quieting the mind and creating a life through
intentional thoughts.
The acupuncture program will focus on the
theories of how energy (qi) is created and moves through the body.
Students will study qigong, massage, needling techniques, pulse taking and
diagnostic techniques. The study of qi combined with the understanding of
Chinese herbs will prepare graduates to confidently diagnose and treat
patients, helping them find a place of balance in order to create optimal
health.
The Lotus School of Integrated Professions
has provided quality education in central Virginia since its founding as the
American Institute of Massage by Dr. Joseph L. Schibner IV in 1996. Esthetics
and master esthetics programs were added in 2016. With the status of an
institute of higher education and its certificate to operate from the State
Council of Higher Education for Virginia, the Lotus School is accredited by the
Accrediting Commission of Career School and Colleges with student clinics for
massage, esthetics and master esthetics that are open to the public.
Location: 10960 Three Chopt Rd., Ste A. For more
