Ann Cecil-Sterman, MS, L.Ac, is the author of the widely acclaimed books, The Art of Pulse Diagnosis, Illustrations of the Complete Acupuncture System, and Advanced Acupuncture: A Clinic Manual, a required text in many acupuncture schools in the United States. She travels all over the world, to Spain, England, Mexico, Italy, Australia, Canada, Poland, and all over the United States, to teach the application and methodology of the Complement Channels, the art of pulse diagnosis, and with her husband, Andrew Sterman, the use of food as medicine. For many years she taught Advanced Clinical Observation and was a senior clinic supervisor at the school of acupuncture founded by Dr. Jeffrey Yuen in 1997 in New York City. She is a long-time student of Dr. Yuen, having extensively studied acupuncture, diet, Chinese medical history, herbs, Qigong, essential oils, stones, and philosophy with him across North America. Ann was director of the Classical Wellness Center in Manhattan where for many years she practiced and taught classes on advanced diagnosis and the theory and application of Classical Chinese Medicine. Currently, her patients-children and adults of all ages-come from all over the world, working through illnesses, or on personal cultivation. Ann's practice features the Complement Channels of acupuncture-the Sinew, Luo, Divergent, and Eight Extraordinary Channels-and is augmented with Classical Chinese dietary therapeutic guidance. Ann also paints large-scale abstract works depicting physiological function, especially pulses. As a musician, one of her three CDs was nominated for an ARIA (Australian Grammy). She occasionally tours with the Philip Glass Ensemble, having toured with them in Europe, Australia and the United States. She lives in Chelsea, Manhattan, with her husband and two children. www.anncecilsterman.com See less
