Internationally RENOWNED moxibustion master

“I began teaching moxibustion in the USA over 20 years ago. I’ve taught in New York 7-8 times and Mark Petruzzi was one of my students. He stood out as an outstanding student and has continued on to teach moxibustion for many years at the NY College of Health Professions and at Tristate College of Acupuncture. I’m excited that he is now taking on the position to teach moxibustion for the post graduate TJA certificate program. I’m thrilled that a young and talented person like Mark is working in the USA. I entrust that he will be successful in teaching and spreading the benefits of Japanese moxa. I wish him all the best and look forward to his future work.”
