Subject

An immersive and interactive learning experience, focusing specifically on the foundational techniques of palpation—particularly belly (hara) palpation.

Speaker(s): John Jaarsveld originally learned hara diagnosis as part of his training as a shiatsu therapist, and later studied to incorporate it within his acupuncture speciality. John has been a student of Kiiko Mastumoto sensei for 15 years, in the Netherlands and abroad. He applies the method in his own clinical practice on a daily basis: palpation and critical thinking, alongside the Neijing and the Nanjing, are the basis of his clinic. Before studying acupuncture, John held a black belt in Bujinkan Budo Taijitsu and studied and practised shiatsu and qi gong for about 10 years. After graduating from acupuncture school, and first meeting David Euler and then Kiiko Matsumoto sensei, he has so far spent over 1000 hours with Kiiko sensei .

Other information

Palpation, the art of physical examination through touch, is widely recognized as an essential diagnostic tool in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, despite its importance, this skill is often under-emphasized and rarely taught in a hands-on, practical manner. This workshop seeks to address that gap by offering an immersive and interactive learning experience, focusing specifically on the foundational techniques of palpation—particularly belly (hara) palpation. This workshop is designed with a strong emphasis on practical application. Participants will engage in hands-on practice, learning to perform hara palpation techniques on each other under the guidance of an experienced instructor. This interactive approach ensures that you not only grasp the theoretical aspects but also develop the necessary tactile skills and confidence to apply hara diagnosis effectively in your clinical practice.
