About Duane Law, L.Ac.

Duane Law, L.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist who's spent a lifetime in holistic health practice. Education has always been a cornerstone of Duane's work, and he's held teaching and administrative posts in massage schools and acupuncture colleges all over southern California. A continuing education provider for mental health therapists, he presents self-care wellness trainings informed by holistic medicine for schools, corporations and businesses.

From 2004-2006 Duane served on the clinical supervision staff at Emperor's College, one of the most established centers of acupuncture education in the US, located in Santa Monica, California. During this period he also helped establish an Integrative Pain Management program at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, where the physicians are team doctors to the Lakers, Angels, Dodgers, USC and Loyola sports teams.

He served on the board of the American Society for Training and Development, Los Angeles Chapter, in 2006-7. In 2007-8 he served as Integrative Medicine Director at Clinica Medica San Miguel, a major provider of health care to Los Angeles' latino community.

Duane uses nutrition and naturopathy to amplify the effects of acupuncture and hands-on healing work. His clinical work emphasizes patient education and self-help techniques. "I've learned that it's patients' habits ... the things they know and do everyday ... that really make the difference between health and disease. Simple things, like getting trace minerals in the right form, can be so important," he says. "It's time to bring this information into the workplace, into the mental health community, into our schools. The costs associated with our current medical system are bankrupting our society. Yet there's an incredible amount of 'low-hanging fruit' to be picked in terms of people learning simple ways of taking care of themselves. The key is giving them the right information."

"Being healthy isn't about being a saint. It's about being informed."
