ACUPUNCTURE, SHIATSU AND ORIENTAL MEDICINE OF NEW ENGLAND

The holistic medical practice at Acupuncture, Shiatsu, and Oriental Medicine of New England are among the finest in the United States. We combine the ability to quickly and effectively address pain and other physiological issues, with the empathy, patience, skill and understanding required to help a patient completely recover from their deepest spiritual-emotional scars over time. Holism is about treating the person, not the disease or merely the symptoms.
Sensei David LoPriore, Director of A.S.O.M.N.E. is a senior practitioner of Oriental medicine, martial arts, and Asian self-developmental arts. He teaches nationally in the fields of Oriental Medicine, Kosho Shorei Ryu, and personal empowerment through inner understanding. He has studied healing arts from China, Japan, Korea, India, Native America and other cultures, and has seen patients and learned from teachers and students all over the United States and in other parts of the world.
You will greatly enjoy our comprehensive initial consultation, in which he will spend up to two hours understanding your states of wellness and illness through deep conversation and Inner Tradition Pulse diagnosis. We will also be helping you understand how to reconnect to natural balance through simple, sensible lifestyle recommendations which can greatly enhance your holistic health. Even with just your first acupuncture treatment, you will likely come away with a sense of peace and confidence in this wonderful form of healing, and path to holistic wellness. Symptoms will be examined in the context of your entire being, so we can help you quickly, naturally, and safely eradicate them in the context of holistic well-being. In short, ASOMNE patients are in very good hands. We look forward to hearing from you. Call today to schedule your first consultation.
Be Well: Body, Mind and Spirit!

BUSHIDOKAI TRADITIONAL MARTIAL ARTS


Bushidokai Traditional Martial Arts is Hombu Dojo (Headquarters School) of the Kosho Shorei Shin Kai lineage of Kosho Shorei Ryu. We are located at Latimer Brook Commons, at Flanders Four Corners in East Lyme, Connecticut. Studying effective martial arts is only the beginning of True Self Defense. Integrating ancient energy-cultivation exercises, healing arts, meditation, philosophy, brush-calligraphy and the swordsmanship of the samurai complete the studies in a powerful and unique way. These arts of Kosho Shorei Ryu offer great self-developmental potential for anyone, of any age, who is serious about finding an enlightened perspective on their life, and practicing this among like-minded others. We consistently reinforce that martial arts can be practiced effectively for both self-cultivation and self-defense. Our classes, especially those for the children, are formulated with a perfect mixture of martial arts, games and drills which are both fun, and effective for the cultivation of real skill. Helping families come together is also important to us. Each member of a family will find classes specifically suited for their age and needs, as well as free-practice time when the family can train together. All students at Bushidokai quickly feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves.
