Dr. Yvonne Farrell

Dr. Farrell has been involved in helping others to restore balance in their lives for over 35 years. She began teaching acupuncture and Chinese medicine in 1997 and continues to make it her mission to support and inspire anyone who wants to use the blueprint of Chinese Medicine to heal and grow.

Specializing in the use of the Complement Channels and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, Yvonne has been teaching channel theory to students for many years. She has developed proficiency with these systems because she feels they are very effective in the treatment of psycho-emotional and psycho-spiritual disorders.

Yvonne directs her teaching towards the empowerment of students with the hope that they will embody the deeper aspects of Chinese Medicine and make them their own. She believes that self-cultivation & self-knowledge are essential in developing capacity as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. She has taught continuing education courses, both in the US and Internationally. She has also taught in the masters and doctoral programs of a number of schools in California. Yvonne also leads retreats to help students have a deeper, more embodied experience of these potent tools for growth.

“ I have made it my mission in life to witness the humanity in everyone I treat or teach. I have learned how to create a healing environment and therapeutic relationship that helps patients and practitioners to regain their sovereignty and create lasting change that leads to a deeper sense of well-being.”

Yvonne is the author of 2 books on acupuncture; Psycho-emotional Pain and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Acupuncture for Surviving Adversity [published by Singing Dragon].
