Jonathan Kapsten - The Doctor
I received my medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School in 1981 and began
private practice in Anesthesiology in 1986. I remained in private practice until
1998.
During those 12 years I also studied and practiced Tang Soo Do karate, Tai
Chi, Qi gong and Ia-do. Through one of my teachers I was exposed to an energetic
healing technique similar to Therapeutic Touch.
Later I became a Reiki healer eventually being ‘attuned’ to the
3rd level of Reiki, which some call "Reiki Master".
In 1998 I decided to start a second career. I chose acupuncture for its proven
effectiveness, its diagnostic rigor and because it offered a more personal and
less political form of healing to which I could apply myself. While I could have
taken a short physicians’ course I felt that the only way to be truly effective
was to fully immerse myself in the field. So I returned to school for 3 years
of study and clinical training.
I received my Master of Acupuncture degree from the New England School of Acupuncture
in 2001.
During my time at school and afterwards I have focused my studies on Japanese
Acupuncture. I have studied both in the United States and in Japan. I am a member
of the Japanese Toyohari Association, an NCCAOM certified Diplomate in Acupuncture,
a licensed acupuncturist and a licensed physician. My current practice is limited
to acupuncture.
