James Harvitt was introduced to Far Eastern
Medicine in 1990 while studying Tai Chi Chuan
with Grandmaster Zhang in Chicago. The
graceful movements of Tai Chi allowed him to
experience his own vital energy known as Qi.
This experience opened the door to his enthusiastic
study of oriental medicine and philosophy
for the next 16 years. His teachers include
Jinhua Xie, M.D., Ph.D., Deepak Chopra, M.D.,
David Simon, MD, Herbert Benson, M.D.,
David Eisenberg, M.D., Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.,
and Effie Poy Yew Chow, Ph.D.
Jim is a 1993 graduate of the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine (MCOM). He has served on the MCOM Board of Advisors for the past 13 years. In 2000, he completed Advanced Clinical Training in Mind/Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Medical Institute.
Jim is an American Heart Association First Aid Lead Instructor. He is ACLS certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and was Valedictorian of his EMT training program.
In September 2006, Jim completed Harvard Medical School training in Laser and Aesthetic Skin Therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is licensed by the State of Illinois to practice acupuncture and massage therapy and has been in private practice in Chicago for over 15 years.
