Matt Wagner MSOM LAcMatt Wagner M.S.O.M, L.Ac, received his degree from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder CO. He additionally completed a private, two-year internship, focusing on herbal and classical theory, needle and hand manipulation techniques, and Qi Gong.
Matt's treatment style is informed both by these years of meditation, and by the expression of that meditation through all of the various arts of Chinese medicine, from needling technique and herbal diagnosis, to tuina, qi gong, ba gua - and finally, his favorite hobby, cooking. In this way, both the treatment and the advice to the patient are as well rounded as possible, using all means available to overcome the barriers to a patients healing process, whether they are physical, energetic, or spiritual. Matt believes firmly that healing is a co-creative process and works with patients through regular treatment, dietary and lifestyle advice, and daily practices to give patients the keys to their own best health.Matt has also had a deepening meditation practice for the last 13 years. He was previously ordained as a Buddhist monk, and spent 3 years between undergrad and grad school in strict monastic practice in several different monasteries, with several different teachers across the country. Matt brought a vital energy to the monasteries he trained in, serving as head-cook, meditation leader, and head-monk, among other things, and held the space to offer teacher/student interview, as well as spiritual council. Along the way, Matt has lead, and co-lead meditation retreats in the United States and Europe, serving as both meditation instructor and leader, and yoga instructor. |
