I am an acupuncturist, herbalist, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, bodyworker, Qigong Instructor and Medical Qigong practitioner. I am interested in five branches of healing. A foundational idea in Chinese medicine is that if you pay attention to Shen (Beingness qualities), breathing, posture and movement, diet and nutrition, then you will not need further medical treatment.
We are thriving in our new location! I'm happy so many familiar faces have scheduled sessions. For those who haven't been in, come by and see our new healing center. As you know, the costs of doing business have increased, and I have not raised my prices for six years, so it is time! Chinese medicine talks of five branches of healing.

The Bladder channel disperses cold from the exterior by warming the skin via the 'interstices' (the space between the skin and muscles) the 'Cou Li'. This makes us think of the physiological function of temperature regulation through capillary vasodilation and vasoconstriction. The Bladder is 'Zhou Du Zhi Guan' The official who is the administrative capital of waterways.
The basis of this argument is that the way the Heart and Pericardium are discussed in the Nei Jing clearly suggests that their division into two organs was not true in all the schools of acupuncture that the Nei Jing is a summation of. For example in CH. 2 of Ling Shu - when the Heart channel Shu transport points are listed, they are all Pericardium Shu transport points on the Pericardium channel.
Patients of acupuncture range from infants to senior citizens. They may be seeking an alternative to Western medicine or it may be their last hope for relief, having exhausted other methods of treatment for a chronic condition. For increasing numbers of people, an acupuncturist is their first choice of Primary health-care Practitioner - for a low-risk form of treatment with few side effects.
The classes and seminars are divided between Qigong, lecture, guided meditation specific to the subject, demonstration of clinical applications and hands-on practice of clinical skills in a clinical setting. I have found that this multi-sensorial and levels-of-consciousness approach is the best method of teaching the depth of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

Deeply intuitive, highly educated, brilliant, trustworthy, kind, committed. That is Adam. Oh, and let's not forget youthful. :-) My experience under his acupuncture care was one of feeling well attuned, progressively pain-free, open and *finally* truly cared for by a medical professional. Thank you!

This is a beautiful, comforting and healing place. The practitioners quickly gained my trust, and demonstrated powerful healing abilities - and boundless kindness. (I met with "Dr Adam", as I call him, and the new guy Rick, and Moo, along with their intern Pegga.) I was just visiting the region from east coast last week when they kindly gave me two appointments at short notice, but I will not forget these shining healers.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to meet Adam Atman and work at his Los Gatos Acupunture and Qigong Center. I have recommended the Center to many of my own clients and service and knowledge has bee outstanding. The treatments that have been provided are tuned to my present state of feeling not only on physical level but also on emotional and spiritual . I really like qigong classes and practicing every day have confirmed all the health benefits that have been stated during the sessions. Thank you.

If you are looking for both acupuncture and healing, you will be glad you found Adam. Adam helps me with a variety of issues - back pain, stress, fatigue, and some others. However, beyond just helping alleviate the symptoms, Adam helps me move through these physical issues and experience a deeper level of emotional or spiritual growth. I have worked with him during some of my most difficult times and have been incredibly grateful for his support and guidance.
I even took my teenage son to him and my son is a tough sell on alternative things like acupuncture! Most son thought Adam was terrific

I have been both an Intern here and a patient. The rooms are beautiful and the staff go above and beyond an average visit to really address the root causes of whats going on in the body. The Mind-Body exercise room is beautifully decorated and attending classes here has also been a great experience. Adam is a leader in his field and getting to see him one on one is privilege. He can easily relieve most aches and pains but is also interested in tuning up our lives on all levels...Mind, Body and Heart.

I'm so impressed with Adam Attman! My doctor recommended I see Adam for carpal tunnel. What I really like about Adam, is his philosophy for treating the whole body. He really takes the time to understand the whole picture and treats you accordingly. I've only been to see Adam a few times so far, but I really appreciate all that he's doing for me. I definitely recommend him and his Qigong center in Los Gatos!

Los Gatos Acupuncture and Qigong is a wonderful place to really get in tune with your body through the classes they offer as well as the acupuncture, massage, and meditation practices. I was referred from a friend and I could not be more pleased. This place is run with integrity and grace and the services are personalized to meet my individual needs. In the short few months I have been coming I am more energized, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Adam takes the time to tune into an individuals needs with nurturing devotion to implement a plan of action to alleviate pain and give additional
