About AJ

Dr. AJ serves his community as an online health coach, competitive dance and acrobatics educator and adjudicator, healing and healthcare practitioner, and graduate-level lecturer and clinical supervisor for Traditional Chinese Medicine colleges in the USA. He is a licensed acupuncturist and certified Chinese medical herbalist in New Jersey, as well as a certified Reiki Master and VortexHealing® practitioner. Dr. AJ believes that the Awakening of human consciousness is the ultimate goal of all healing paths, and he uses his extensive training and clinical experience to help his clients awaken through their suffering into greater states of freedom, peace, awareness and health. His clinical approach can be summarized by this quote from 6th century philosopher Liu Zhou:
​
“If the spirit is at peace, the heart is in harmony;
when the heart is in harmony, the body is whole;
if the spirit becomes aggravated the heart wavers,
and when the heart wavers the spirit becomes injured;
if one seeks to heal the physical body, therefore,
one needs to regulate the spirit first.”
As a dance and acrobatics educator, Dr. AJ takes his deep knowledge in the healing arts and combines them with his experience in the performing arts to craft classes that help students achieve greater ease, finesse, awareness and health in their physical, mental-emotional, spiritual and artistic faculties. His technique training is anatomically precise, and walks the fine line of cultivating technical and artistic excellence while supporting the health and longevity of his dancers. He has been teaching dance around the country since 2010, and is highly sought after for his energetic, fun yet challenging acrobatics workshops. Dr. AJ is fiercely supportive of children, and aims to treat every child in class like his own. He believes that children who are trained to have compassionate self-awareness, a disciplined approach towards excellence, and deeply rooted kindness and tolerance for their local and global communities will lead the way to a brighter future.
Dr. AJ is continually refining his own skills, and regularly takes professional classes in Reiki, VortexHealing®, ballet, CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, SomatoEmotional Release, and Chinese medicine. Outside of his professional pursuits, Dr. AJ enjoys drawing and painting, reading, exercise, spending time with friends, collecting crystals and gemstones, and taking care of his plants.​
