This is a sophisticated means of understanding the person as a whole and of detecting deviations from health. I am able to access and assess strengths and weaknesses, mental/emotional states, the effects of lifestyle and environment, the qi, blood, yin/yang, and function of the organs themselves as well as their contribution to the body as a whole. This system is yet another diagnostic tool that provides me with sound clinical guidance even in the most complex conditions, and assists me in discovering underlying issues that are contributing to your condition, which helps me in prioritizing treatment strategies.

This particular methodology takes years of instruction and hands on practice to learn and implement. Our lineage can be traced back directly over 600 years to the Ding family in the Menghe region of China. Dr. Hammer has continued to teach and refine this system and its’ diagnostic revelations over the last 30+ years. My study of this system began in 2006, as it is a cornerstone of the diagnostic curriculum at Dragon Rises College. I am part of a select group of individuals who continue advanced studies with Dr. Hammer and am a Certified Instructor of this system (I was the Intensive Coordinator and Dr. Hammer’s Direct Assistant for Dragon Rises Seminars in Florida from 2007-2014). I have traveled to New Jersey, Maryland and Quebec to teach this system to other practitioners.
