Franklin comes from a background of Traditional Chinese Movement, Energy, and Healing Practices. His experience and training in these traditional practices informed his decision to follow the life path of a healer.

In addition to offering Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine services to the public Franklin is involved with teaching Traditional Chinese Movement, Energy, and Health Arts such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung.

"My first exposure to healing was through the Chinese Martial Arts. Traditionally healing has been the livelyhood of many martial arts practitioners throughout the ages. I was exposed to Chinese style healing therapies such as: Acupressure, Tui-Na (Traditional Massage and Manipulation Techniques), and Energy Healing from various teachers of mine since around 1992.

After seeing and experiencing the effectiveness of these treatments I was intrigued and wanted to learn more. Over the years as my experience grew I knew that healing was something that I wanted to persue as a career."

Franklin obtained his formal training at YoSan University in California obtaining a Masters in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. YoSan University is a lineage based school which emphasizes the many aspects that make Traditional Chinese Medicine a rich and diverse field of study in addition to the standardized curriculum required for California and national Traditional Chinese Medicine accreditation.

In addition Franklin is certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) with a Diplomate in Acupuncture.

Franklin sees patient involvment in the healing process as being essential. Lifestyle, Diet, and Exercise are very important for recovering and maintaining health.

The Oath of Sun Si Miao for Physicians of Traditional Chinese Medicine

(This is similar to the Hyppocratic Oath of the West)

As a Physician of Traditional Chinese Medicine:

I shall look upon those who are in grief, as if I myself have been struck and I shall sympathize with them deep in my heart.

I will not give way to wishes and desires but develop first a marked attitude of compassion

I shall not ponder over my own fortune or misfortune and thus preserve life and have compassion for it.

Whoever suffers from disease and illness will be looked upon with contempt by people. I shall maintain an attitude of compassion, of sympathy, and of care. In no way shall arise an attitude of rejection.

I shall treat all patients alike, whether powerful or humble, rich or poor, old or young, beautiful or ugly, resentful relatives or kind friends, Chinese nationals or foreigners, fools or wise men.

I shall not emphasize my own reputation, and belittle the rest of physicians while praising my own virtue.

Neither dangerous mountain passes, nor the time of day, netiher weather conditions nor hunger, thirst nor fatigue shall keep me from helping wholeheartedly.

With this oath, I shall fulfill my responsibilities and my destiny as a physician to each and every patient who seeks help from me, until I am no longer capable of fulfilling my obligations, or until the end of this lifetime.
