Instructor: Nate Novgrod

Nate began the study of Chinese medicine as part of training in Northern Shao Lin Kung Fu, Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan, and Qi Gong under the guidance of Sifu Brian Moran in 1997. Over the years, he has continued to refine and deepen his skills in Chinese martial arts and medicine, maintaining ongoing study with Sifu Moran to further develop expertise in Tai Chi and Qi Gong. This journey also included traveling to Oregon to study Tui Na, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi with Sifu Moran’s teacher, Tai Sifu Dale Freeman. In 2009, Nate graduated from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, OR, earning a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree. The program included comprehensive training in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Tui Na. Following graduation, he returned to the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and established a practice in Waynesville, where he has been providing care and teaching Tai Chi and Qi Gong since 2009. With a dedication to lifelong learning, Nate has completed numerous continuing education courses—some exceptional, others less so—often at considerable cost. Drawing from these experiences, he is committed to offering high-quality, affordable continuing education opportunities for both acupuncturists and massage therapists.
