Reviews:
“It is such a coherent book that is serves as a source of inspiration, even for experts. The Poetry of Touch has the makings of a classic. It is one of the best works ever written around the subject of bodywork and Oriental medicine.”
Mike Mandl
Author and Director of the International Academy for Hara Shiatsu in Vienna
“This is a masterful work that I recommend without reservation. Chris honors the diversity and full depth of East Asian medicine, a brilliant example of the path of mastery.”
Stephen Brown
Teacher and translator of texts on traditional Japanese medical arts.
“The Poetry of Touch is the life work of a man immersed in the healing arts of Shiatsu, acupuncture, Qigong and meditation. A man who has gone through his own healing journey, working on mastering his art. Chris McAlister captivates you with his wit, insights, devotion and ability to look at ancient concepts with fresh eyes.”
