Jason Robertson who honed his knowledge studying Chinese medicine in the US, China and Taiwan and was apprenticed to Prof Wang Ju Yi with whom he co-authored Applied Channel Theory. Recognised as an official instructor in Applied Channel Theory, Jason is also a member of the core faculty at Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine and teaches Applied Channel Theory around the world at international conferences, universities and seminars when not working in his practice in Seattle Washington. AACMA is very pleased to be finally hosting Jason at AACMAC 2025.

Felip Caudet, invited back by popular demand. Moxibustionist extraordinaire, Felip’s informative, instructive and entertaining presentations at AACMAC 2023 generated many converts to the practice of moxibustion. Specialising in Japanese moxibustion, Fukaya Style in particular having studied moxibustion with masters Tetsuya Fukushima and his son Hideo Shinma, Felip gave up using needles in 2012, solely using moxibustion in his treatments. He was so good we had to get him back.
