He continues to travel for teaching and counseling in the U.S. (most frequently to the Washington, DC area) plus England.
He studied acupuncture in England in the 1970s with J.R. Worsley at the College of Chinese Acupuncture and has practiced continuously since 1978. He did further studies for the entire year of 1999 at the Maryland Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Michael was the academic dean and a core teacher at Atlantic University of Chinese Medicine outside of Asheville, North Carolina for three years. He maintains a private counseling and acupuncture practice plus teaches occasionally in other cities. Further, he has regularly taught shiatsu massage (basic & advanced) at the N.C.
