Brenton's journey into TCM began almost 30 years ago as a teenager, when he discovered that the different Asian teas he was drinking had differing effects upon his body and mood.  Soon afterward, he had an experience that would seal his fate as a TCM practitioner.  Along with his father and brothers, Brent suffered from a hereditary lumbar disorder, for which his siblings had received surgery as well as powerful medications (with powerful side effects).  Brent decided to take another route, however, seeking out an acupuncturist, who was able to completely cure the problem without surgery or medication.  From that point forward, Brent was enthralled with TCM and began an apprenticeship with a Chinese herbalist, who introduced him to natural methods for increasing energy, calming the nervous system, removing blood fat, keeping the kidneys and heart clean, and regulating the blood pressure and digestive system.  Later, Brent embarked upon a formal Chinese Medicine education at the Texas College of T.C.M. in Austin, Texas, where he earned a master's degree in TCM.  Since that time, Brent has operated a well-known acupuncture and TCM clinic in Denver, Colorado and now in Shanghai, China.  Brent has also held the post of instructor of TCM at universities on both continents, and has lectured widely at universities and institutions across the U.S., including:

The Colorado University of Health Sciences, School of Nursing, Denver, CO, USA
Colorado Free University, Denver, CO, USA
The Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Austin, TX, USA
Academy of Oriental Medicine, Austin, TX, USA
The California State Oriental Medicine Assoc., Sacramento, CA, USA
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego, CA, USA
Acupuncture Oriental Medicine Alliance, Gigg Harbor, WA, USA
The American Acupuncture Oriental Medicine Assoc., Washington, D.C., USA
The American Diabetes Assoc., Denver, CO, USA
The American Naturopathic Medical Assoc., Las Vegas, NV, USA
The American Herbalist Guild, Canton, GA, USA
The Colorado Acupuncture Assoc., Denver, CO, USA

Brent is also a widely published author on the uses of teas, herbs and acupuncture, and his credentials are nationally recognized:

Colorado Licensed Acupuncturist
Master of Science, Oriental Medicine, USA
Diplomate, Acupuncture & Chinese Herbology (NCCAOM)
Internship, Heilongjiang College of T.C.M., Harbin, China
Instructor, International Institute of Chinese Medicine, Denver, CO, USA
Owner of Acupuncture & Herbal Health Clinic, Denver, CO, USA
Co-Owner, Chinese Tea Imports, Ltd., Denver, CO, USA


Tracy holds a bachelor’s degree from The University of Waikato, NZ and has completed her coursework for a second bachelor’s degree at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  She is currently undertaking her medical internship at Shanghai Yueyang Hospital.  Tracy is passionate about healthy living and believes that TCM places the extraordinary power of healing and good health within the hands of all who want it.  A natural-born healer, Tracy is fluent in both English and Mandarin, giving her access to the full range of resources both here and abroad.  Majoring in Acupuncture and Tuina massage, Tracy also undertook a secondary course of study in Clinical Chinese Medicine and has a strong interest in medicinal foods, which she believes to be aspect of TCM which is most accessible and useful for us in everyday life.  Throughout her studies, she has been the recipient of many scholarships for outstanding academic achievement, including the DAAD Award, The NZ China Friendship Society Scholarship, and The Chinese Scholarship Council Award.  She is also a member of Golden Key International Honours Society.
