How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Charles Peri, a Marin County native, came to Chinese medicine through his long practice of martial arts.
In his black belt training, Charles found that his teachers were less interested in breaking boards and more focused on healing – as acupuncture and medicinal herb doctors. He began his medical education in the late ‘70s, through a four-year apprenticeship with Dr. Robert Kong, a fourth-generation acupuncturist and herbalist from China.
Extraordinary commitment
Charles went to great lengths to learn from the best in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). He learned to speak Mandarin so he could bring greater depth to his study and practice under the top TCM doctors.
He graduated from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, California, with a Masters of Science. Charles now practices Chinese medicine in Novato, California..
