Course Reviews
This was such an informative class about eczema in general, but the fact that it highlighted identifying it on darker skin tones brought up very important topics that I feel should be addressed in the field of Chinese Medicine. As a TCM practitioner it is always important to me to be sensitive to different cultures and communities in order to make my services more accessible. Courses like this will only elevate our field of medicine.

I recently had the opportunity to take Juliette’s course on identifying eczema on under represented skin tones, and I must say, it was an incredibly valuable experience. This class is a welcome supplement to the educational curriculum for acupuncturists, filling a gap that often exists in our training.
This course has enriched my understanding of dermatology and I will be incorporating aspects from this course into my current practice. I highly recommend this course to any acupuncturist looking to expand their knowledge in the area of dermatology and to improve their patient care in this area.

A Little About Me
Hi! I am Juliette Aiyana, MTCM. My practice focus is dermatology, allergic, autoimmune and digestive diseases, mystery and knotty difficult to treat diseases.
Based in NYC, my practice is entirely telehealth so that I can help people from all over the USA to gain agency over their health.
Chinese herbal medicine took hold of my heart over 20 years ago. I have taught in colleges and continuing education courses throughout my career and authored a book for Blue Poppy Press.
At home I cook, cuddle with my dog, play Pokémon VGC with my teen, binge streaming shows, and scroll TikTok until far too late in the night.
