Hi, I’m Chris King.
I am interested in interconnectedness & playing with it everywhere.
In movement, architecture and building, medicine and healing, in the arts and education. Movement, Chinese Medicine and the Arts are subjects that to me, will teach you all about life itself. I have made my life’s purpose about gaining wisdom and knowledge through studying ancient healing practices, self-discovery, research, and play.
In 2009, I made a pivot from the world of Finance to personal training in New York City. The conventional approach to most things has never resonated with me, which lead me on a journey of seeking teachers of movement. I mentored with Michol Dalcourt of The Institute of Motion in San Diego, CA; I have studied with Tom Weksler of Movement Archery and Zen Acrobatics; and my on-going study of movement, the Ido Portal Method, where I train and research movement 3-4 hours a day under the direction of Johnny Sapinoso.
Throughout the early 2010’s, I was plagued with various chronic musculoskeletal conditions that conventional medicine failed to help heal, which lead me to Chinese Medicine. I was fascinated with the in-depth lens Chinese Medicine takes and the connection to nature it revealed. And so in 2013, I began studying Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science in NYC (formerly Pacific College of Oriental Medicine), completing the Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) in Massage Therapy program in 2016 and a Masters of Science in Acupuncture (MSAc) in Spring 2019. I am currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Acupuncture (DOAC) program, expected completion Winter 2022.
Peekskill, NY is my home.
