For working acupuncturists too, however long they have been practising and from whatever discipline they may come, the book offers an insight into a subtle and very effective way of working, and demonstrates how much we all can learn from each other.’

– Review by Angela Llewellyn, Vol. 5, No. 4, The European Journal of Oriental Medicine
