Andrew and JulieAnn Nugent-Head are vocal advocates of classically based, clinically relevant, tangible and effective Chinese medicine. With more than 30 years experience living in China and working with the old doctors born and educated before 1949, JulieAnn and Andrew have both experience and practicality that shines through in their approachable and entertaining teaching style.

The Nugent-Heads teach internationally, manage this online educational site, run a not for profit teaching clinic in Asheville, North Carolina, and have begun to develop their property into a medicinal herb farm. Completely immersed in Chinese medicine in each facet of their life, they are a dynamic duo with a mission to demystify and raise the bar of Chinese medicine.
