Hello everyone! My name is Abigail S. and I would like to extend educational services to families who may be experiencing difficulties during the 2020-21 school www.*** ;Many health departments around the country have recommended all districts begin the school year remotely, and this can cause some problems for many families who may have essential workers in the household, multiple students, or create fear and worry for parents who do not feel they are cut out to help their students succeed in the way a teacher cannot replace. Whatever the reason, I would like to help!
I am a 2019 graduate of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Music Performance. I am a substitute teacher for Tacoma Public Schools and was intending on working with them again this school year, however that may not be the case. I also work as a production manager and educator for an area youth theatre program. I teach clarinet and saxophone lessons on the side.

I was born in Uruguay and raised in Argentina before moving to the United States for college. While I was here, I tutored Spanish to a variety of learners varying from ages 5-70. I have taught over 100 students privately, have led over 10 small group classes, and have taught for the public school system for three www.*** ;I find languages to be fascinating. Each language is shaped and formed by its culture. The culture infiltrates its grammatical structure, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions. I love discovering how each language represents the culture it was born in, how it evolved over time, or how it is currently changing in its sub-cultures. I have a love for my language and want to impart it to others who desire to learn it. I want your experience to be enjoyable and profitable. I want to encourage you in this process, to encourage you to go a little farther than you have before, and to help you understand and make sense of this beautiful language. What I love most about teaching this language is when I see students’ eyes light up because they have grasped a new concept and are naturally excited by this new understanding. I love watching my students be proud of the work that they have done and the ways in which they have improved. I hope to be able to provide a dynamic in which you can fully grasp the Spanish language.

Thanks to these methods, you’ll find that I am always happy and smiling, energetic and enthusiastic about facilitating healing. Natural medicine is not only my profession but is also my hobby and source of inspiration. Each morning I rise at 4 to exercise methods that help keep my mind clear & alert, as well as to make my body strong & vigorous. Striving to become a living example of wellness and to employ skillful means within my life and my relationships is genuinely important to me. I am excited to work with you!
---Experience:
Practitioner of Chinese Medicine, Instructor, Daoist Disciple, Lead Builder: Snohomish, Washington: 2017 - Current
My wife and I returned to the States to disciple under a famous Daoist master (DaShi ZhiCheng of the LongMen tradition), and to reside full-time at a Daoist monastery for deep meditation training and other powerful traditional methods. As usual, I run a free clinic through the monastic space as a gift to the community.
You can check out photos of the monastery on Instagram at: "YangSheng Gardens" (Xuan Xiu Gong)
Part of my training has included formal apprenticeship under a master carpenter named Dale Brotherton, who has generously helped me combine the internal Daoist methods within a context of traditional Japanese Woodwork. This began in 2017 & has been life changing!

Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Director of a Healing Retreat Center: Southern Costa Rica: 2012-2016
I ran a few donation-based clinic spaces within a rural community in the rain forest. I have had a tremendous number of opportunities to help heal a variety of complaints. While specializing in the treatment of migraine & musculoskeletal pain, we have had great success with many forms of imbalance.
Some of the treatment methods that I employ are: Chinese Acupuncture, Herbal therapy, QiGong energetic therapy, TuiNa-AnMo bodywork, Dietary consultation, Personal fitness consultation (WITS certified), Tai Chi (Taiji Quan) instruction, Daoist QiGong & meditation self-cultivation instruction, Breath-work instruction, Counseling & lifestyle therapy, Cupping, GuaSha, Aesthetic acupuncture (“acupuncture face-lift”), Scalp/Auricular/Palm acu-methods, and Tea-ceremony meditation. We all learn something new with every treatment, and I continue to study daily with masters & improve my skills!
Additionally, I studied traditional & permaculture farming methods daily under Master Gardener Esteban Acosta. Learning to connect with the cycles of the Earth, and to grow your own foods are important lessons to learn!
Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Instructor of Meditation & QiGong: Tucson, Arizona, USA: 2009-2011
I returned to Tucson to train an acupuncture apprentice, to teach qigong at a local Chinese Medical university (now called Han University), to run another donation-based clinic, and to deepen my own training within Buddhist & Advaita meditation methods. I also actively studied the Way of Tea with Chinese certified tea master Zhu Ping and helped her run a small tea house in the Tucson Botanical Gardens. A very highly recommended training method! Find her wonderful work at: SevenCups
Commercial Truck Driver: Swift Transportation, Phoenix, Arizona, USA: 2008-2009
My wife and I experimented with creating a “moving monastery” within our truck cab. Driving was a wonderful way to make space for our exercise of “one-pointed” meditation methods, and the study of the Chinese language (Traditional & Simplified). We subsequently used the money earned to travel to China for deeper training with instructors in the rural Chen Family Village (birthplace of Taiji Quan). Search online for "ChenJiaGou" to see photos!
Practitioner of TCM, Instructor of Meditation/QiGong: Delaware North Company, Yosemite Valley, California, USA 2007-2008
Focusing upon strengthening my skill in the treatment of joint injury, I moved to Yosemite National Park. This is the rock/mountain climbing center of the world and allowed me to treat hundreds of wrist/ankle/shoulder injuries both acute and chronic. Again, working for donation allowed me to gain great experience while helping the local community. Also, I coordinated with the “Employee Recreation” department, and taught daily community classes. Sharing joy was my job!
Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Tucson, Arizona, USA: 2006-2007
After obtaining a Master’s Degree (MAOM), I took great pleasure in treating new clients. I began to develop a specialty centered upon migraine and menstrual complaints. Word of mouth about success was ample advertising. As usual, my clinic was based entirely upon donation as a way to support the community. (Word of advice: If you want to gain lots of experience in a skill through practice, offer to work for free!)
Personal Trainer, Meditation, Qigong, Lifestyle Therapy, & Martial Art Instruction: Tucson, Arizona, USA: 2000-2006
For years, my interests and education have centered on personal health & wellness. In pursuit of these skills, I have worked independently as an instructor in many areas. These include: Personal fitness instruction, Meditation leader, Qigong teacher, Nutrition counselor, Emotional guide, Taiji Quan coach, Yoga instructor, Martial arts trainer, Writer, History instructor, Private tutor for herbal studies, Calligrapher, and Gardener. I am constantly seeking opportunities to refine my skills and learn new methods for healing. Buddhist & Daoist principles are to be lived, not applied like a band-aid.
---Relevant Education:
Master’s degree of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (MAOM), 2006
Asian Institute of Medical Studies: Tucson, Arizona, United States of America — (Many years of university education before acupuncture school, as I began higher education at the age of 15.)
---Skills:
Traditional Chinese Medicine: As seen above, my passion finds outlet within this field of expression & exploration.
Meditation: An avid lifetime practitioner of Buddhist meditation and Daoist internal alchemical methods, I have learned to remain within tranquility and happiness at all times. I love to share my joy with others!
Taiji Quan & QiGong: I am a 20th generation lineage holder of Chen Style Taiji Quan (tai chi) and 3rd generation lineage holder of the HunYuan Qigong methods under Master ZhiCheng. I continue to study many hours daily in order to cultivate deeper skills as a teacher and practitioner. Over the years I have instructed thousands of students, and have in turn learned from their honesty and caring. Taiji quan is an art of clarity, allowance, and harmony; but also about discipline & hard work.
Scholastic Skills: As an educated American, I both speak and write using the English language exceptionally well. Clear communication is a skill that I nurture and enjoy. I am very computer literate, and have spent many years writing articles and co-authoring books about various subjects. Currently, for fun, I am writing books about TCM & qigong. I am very well-read, and this last year completed 365 books. (I also teach memory & learning methods.) (Check out my Goodreads account if you are interested in my bookshelf.)
Instruction: Teaching is a skill that can be refined, and I have taken care to do just that. Additionally, having taught thousands of students in my lifetime, I have had many wonderful opportunities to grow as an instructor. This aids me within the clinic as readily as it does within the classroom. Much of the job of a healer is to function as an educator. I love to use group sessions as a discussion forum, rather than a lecture hall. Exploration, not dictation.
Languages: I am a well-educated native English speaker (with an American Californian accent), am fairly fluent in Spanish (with a Costa Rican accent), conversational at a basic level in Mandarin (with a BeiJing accent, and most knowledgeable of the language found in medical and ancient texts), and vaguely conversational in Sign Language (ASL). I also have learned to speak using the method of Nonviolent communication, which is enormously helpful when making mistakes.
Clinical Program & Class Design: Over the years I’ve learned that a truly effective practice cannot simply center around a basic treatment or teaching protocol. To achieve spectacular & long-lasting results, we need to structure the student interaction in a way that motivates & compels them to continue their progress. By using methods of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, “Game-ification” tools, and social structuring techniques, success & interest of students has skyrocketed!
Traditional Japanese Carpentry: I have apprenticed since 2017 under a master carpenter, specializing in temple woodwork, traditional roof carpentry (including copper roofing fabrication), and a variety of other skills best learned under the eyes of a master. Additionally, as a martial artist, I have a burning desire to create the highest quality wooden swords in the world.
Loyalty, Commitment, Communication, Compassion: My wife & I have been together for a wonderful 16 years, & it has been an education more fulfilling & nourishing than anything else in my life.

I've been involved in education for almost 15 years. After gaining graduate teaching certification back in Missouri, I've since taught at the high school and middle school levels in subjects ranging from history to religion to film, but my primary area of emphasis is theatre and speech. I'm currently head of the Drama program at Bethlehem Lutheran School in Kennewick, Washington, where I've guided the program from inception to the highest enrollment rate for any elective in the school. We've developed original plays for middle grade performers, some of which have been published and are regularly performed by students all over the world. A friend recommended online teaching and turoring, as a fun way to meet students from different backgrounds and it seems like a great vehicle for education. I have a dynamic and expressive way of communicating, I love meeting people from different backgrounds, and I think I'm well suited for helping remote students thrive, even from thousands of miles away. I'd love to be considered for any other subject matter that might fit my background.
