Lonny Jarrett is recognized internationally as a leading practitioner, author, scholar, and teacher of East Asian medicine. He has practiced acupuncture and herbology in Stockbridge, Massachusetts since 1986. His academic background includes Master’s Degrees in Neurobiology from the University of Michigan and Acupuncture from the Traditional Acupuncture Institute. He also studied Contemporary Pulse Diagnosis with Dr. Leon Hammer for 10 years.

For more than 35 years, he has taught students about the inner traditions of Chinese medicine and continues to share his knowledge widely through lectures and teaching on Chinese pulse diagnosis, Five Element constitutional diagnosis, the spirit of the points and subtle nature of herbal medicine, treating trauma, and integral perspectives on Chinese medicine.

In 1997, he launched his two-year Clinical Integration course, bringing classical Chinese medicine into conversation with integral perspectives. More than 600 students have participated to date, with many returning to study again.

His first book, Nourishing Destiny: The Inner Tradition of Chinese Medicine, was published in 1998 and has become a classic in the field. In 2003, he released The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine, which translates the core values of Nourishing Destiny into practical treatment-room application. His third book, Deepening Perspectives on Chinese Medicine, was in production and expected in April 2021.
