About your practitioner - Alexander Dold

I am pleased to follow such a rich and practical tradition of healing.

Assisting my clients in returning to their natural state of balance and wellbeing is satisfying in many ways. The greatest satisfaction is in my relationships with my patients. I enjoy sharing their enthusiasm as they ease out of illness and tension, and into a harmonious relationship with health.

I take a patient-centered holistic approach to health care, with an emphasis on listening and communication. My approach is to evaluate each case individually, integrating with other health care providers when appropriate.

After beginning my study of Mandarin Chinese at U.C. Berkeley, I enjoyed a number of trips to China for both training and pleasure, including a two-year stay in Chengdu and Beijing. My studies in China include intensive study of Chinese language, advanced theoretical and clinical medical training, and various health promotion exercises. I also taught English language, traveled extensively, and simply enjoyed daily life in China.

I believe the years spent in China, and my skills in written and spoken Chinese have greatly enriched my experience and understanding of this medical tradition.
