Catherine Van Til, R.Ac.

Catherine dedicated herself to becoming a practitioner of Chinese medicine after experiencing the effectiveness of this ancient, holistic system of medicine for herself. She spent four years in Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s rigorous master’s program – three years at Pacific’s Chicago campus and her final year at their San Diego campus.
