Tim Walsh, BS, MS, LAc received his Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Northern Illinois University where he realized his passion for health. After spending the summer traveling and researching various approaches to health and medicine, Tim moved to California to attend one of the top schools in the country for Oriental Medicine. At Emperor’s College in Santa Monica, Tim found himself truly inspired by the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and medicine. Through studying the energy arts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Tim was introduced to the palpable sensation of energy which flows through, and unites, everything. Emperor’s College is also where Tim met the love of his life, Jenya. Tim followed his passion for Tai Chi/Qi Gong to The Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin, Texas, where he became one of the first people in the nation to earn a certification in Medical Qi Gong (energy healing). Since earning his acupuncture license in 2000, Tim has done extensive study in naturopathic and bio-energetic medicine, detoxification, neurofeedback and functional nutrition. In 2008, Tim graduated from Functional Medicine University, which teaches medical professionals to use Western diagnostics with natural treatments. “I have found an integrative approach to be far superior in treating complex diseases, such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and immune disorders.” Tim specializes in treating pain, stress, hormonal, digestive and immune conditions. Most recently, Tim had the opportunity to appear on CBS’s The Doctors. When he is not seeing patients, Tim can be found on the tennis court.
