  What "new science" is first starting to discover the Chinese have been putting into practice for thousands of years - there is no difference between physical matter and "energy". From the air you breathe, the food you eat, the cells in your body, and the ground you're standing on… it is all energy, arranged and expressed in different forms. The Chinese refer to this energy as Qi. First observed in Nature, there is a cycle or flow to this energy with five distinct phases, each one depending on the other for balance. The most obvious example of this cycle of energy lies within the seasons and the transformations that occur during the year. Take a moment and think about how each one looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and vibrates your core… As we experience these moments in Nature, in essence, we are experiencing that which exists within ourselves… how? Because the "laws" governing the flow of energy that fuels the seasons, are the very same laws governing the energy that fuels our body, mind, and spirit! Today these five phases are most commonly referred to as the Five Elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Classical Five Element Acupuncture goes straight for the energetic root of an individual's dis-ease by mindfully working with Nature's Laws to restore the flow of energy that holds the potential for all of us to attain physical, mental, and spiritual enlightenment… David Tucker is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and massage practitioner. He did his TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) training, receiving his Masters of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University and his massage training through the Brenneke School of Massage. In pursuit of a deeper level of growth and healing, David embarked on the journey of Classical Five Element Acupuncture in Portland, OR and Corte Madera, CA under the guidance and wisdom of David Ford, L.Ac., and Khosrow Khalighi, L.Ac. Studying and working with the 5 Elements is his passion, and he considers himself a lifelong student of Nature's medicine. David embraces the philosophy of seeing his patients as "teachers", and that all which is needed along the path to healing of the mind, body, and spirit are already within us… we just need a gentle reminder sometimes.  - David Tucker, MSAOM, L.Ac, LMP Contact David Tucker, MSAOM, L.Ac, LMP**While visitors may post any questions they wish, the posted answers to those questions should not be misconstrude as a diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment recommendation.

The Zen of Healing Map FooterPatient Feedback“I started to see David a year and a half ago for no particular reason. Or so I thought. At the time I had
a lot on my plate, yet it was so empty. I had just made a cross country move, leaving family and friends
behind and was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to pursue a career in acupuncture myself. I
wasn't paying attention to my intuition, nor caring for myself in a supportive way. I felt very scattered
mentally and emotionally, as well as physically detached from what was going on.
David's treatments gave me the support and guidance I needed to be clear and focused on every level. His approach to providing care based on the 5 Element theory resonated with me. I believe that we, as human beings are interrelated and influenced by the 5 Elements of nature. In addition, I was able to
successfully quit smoking after 18 years of numerous unsuccessful attempts. I feel as if I have arrived at
a state of true health of spirit, mind and body, unlike I have ever experienced before.
David Tucker is an extremely warm and charismatic facilitator of 5 Element Acupuncture and I'm thrilled to be continuing the journey with him.

I especially liked his use of tuning forks (talk about getting relaxed!). I highly recommend him if you have a need for an acupuncturist!”” -- Anita, Seattle WA More | Login to Leave Feedback “David has completely transformed my life. I have had ulcerative colitis since I was fifteen and been to many different doctors and tried many different medicines. Through David’s patient, encouraging words and lighthearted demeanor and using Five Element acupuncture as a conduit, I have reclaimed my independence and never felt better about myself and my body. Before I saw David, I didn’t even know how terrible I felt. I had no energy or tools to help myself find what my body needed to heal. David was able to help me see what I needed to work on in order for my body and mind to heal itself. David has given me the tools to have the freedom and energy to do all the things I used to be able to do and more. David also has this magical way of having you come up with your own solutions that you didn’t even know you had inside of you. He has helped me find ways to speak through my heart and calm my mind and gut. I quite often say to David, “you are magic.” He and acupuncture are magic and I acknowledge him as being instrumental in my physical, emotional and spiritual path to healing. ” -- Nicole, Seattle WA More | Login to Leave Feedback Providers BlogsBlogs
