Earl S. Hinds, M.S.T.C.M., L.Ac.

In 1976, I was in two rear-end car accidents during 48 hours. I had a severe whiplash which kept me in constant pain for 18 months. I finally decided to try acupuncture. It took only 3 months of treatment until I was completely free from pain. My acupuncturist told me that he was treating his father for pancreatic cancer. His dad had a grapefruit-sized tumor on his pancreas. Using Chinese medicine, the tumor was reduced to the size of a golf ball. This made his dad’s surgery much less invasive and also paved the way for an easier recovery.

I developed a passionate interest in sharing the power of acupuncture to promote and restore health and also to help others realize their maximum potential. This led me first to become a professional body worker in 1979. I also learned T’ai Chi and traditional Chinese martial arts. I have been teaching T’ai Chi and Qi Gong since 1993. I currently teach eight T’ai Chi Classes weekly for the city of Benicia. In 2005 I obtained a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine. After completing over 900 clinical hours, in 2008 I received my California State Acupuncture License.

Along with Acupuncture, I integrate components from CranioSacral Therapy, Ortho-Bionomy®, Distance Healing From the Core, Native American Shamanism, Yin Tui Na, Yang Tui Na, and Muscle Energy Work.
