I will have a tent at the 3rd Annual Asian Festival this Sunday, August 28. I will be answering questions about acupressure, cupping, Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) and Chinese Medicine, AND doing some demonstrations. There will be coupons for a free stress relief session and a chance to win a free full session.

The festival will feature plenty of great Asian food and entertainment.
