Welcome to the website for Dr. Tan's Canadian Seminars

Li gan jian ying means " Stand a pole in the sun and see it's shadow immediately".
That is the effect and the power of Dr. Richard Tan's Balance Method  acupuncture. For 3o years he has been practicing and teaching his Balance Method techniques in Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. Thousands of acupuncturists can attest to the efficacy of Dr. Tan's Balance Method acupuncture, and so can their patients. The results are instantaneous!

Dr. Tan hears from many acupuncturists whose lives he has touched. During these tough economic times patients are in need of our services more than ever.  He has discovered that many practitioners are inspired by his teachings yet they lack the hands-on experience to truly integrate the Balance Method with confidence in their own clinics. 

You will leave his classes with active training that includes lecture, discussion, interaction, needling, etc.  Dr. Tan is teaching people how to THINK when presented with all types of cases.  You will be working on actual cases in these workshops under Dr. Tan's guidance in order to grasp the concepts and see them work time and time again.  You may even be lucky enough to receive a treatment!

Dr. Tan is aware of the many webinars available in our modern age.  While these classes are easy and cost-effective ways to earn CEUs, he does not believe they are a wise enough investment in your career. In order to fully grasp the power of the Balance Method he feels the dynamic structure of a live workshop is essential. Therefore despite the time involved he is dedicated to traveling across the world to teach hands-on workshops.  Throughout the ages Chinese Medicine has always been taught directly from teacher to student.  Join us and discover how powerful hands-on training will be in transforming your practice! You will be using Balance Method techniques with confidence in your clinic on Monday morning after the seminar.

Dr. Tan is currently the author of five books printed in multiple languages.  He feels that his most successful students are those who hold Chinese Medicine in their hearts instead of their minds.  This is the philosophy by which he teaches and practices.
