MAHM
The Master of Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine — a four-year, in-person program covering the full scope of classical Chinese medicine.
Our Sister School
The clinic came first. Then came the college.
In 2003, after nearly two decades of running this clinic, our founder Dr. Cissy Majebe co-founded Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts — an accredited graduate school of Chinese medicine, just up the street in Asheville's historic Montford district.

From treatment room to classroom
The medicine you receive at our clinic and the medicine taught at Daoist Traditions are one and the same — classical Chinese medicine, rooted in the teachings of Daoist priest Jeffrey C. Yuen.
Daoist Traditions is a small college by choice, where faculty know every student by name — the same philosophy of personal care that has guided our clinic since 1985. Its campus sits at 382 Montford Avenue, a short walk from our Asheville clinic, and its library holds the largest collection of Jeffrey Yuen's recorded teachings in the country.

What the college means for our patients
A clinic connected to a college stays sharp. The same classical lineage informs both — so the care you receive here is grounded in a living tradition that's being taught, questioned, and refined every day, one block away.
