Saam Mentoring
Kristin has been Toby Daly's teaching assistant for Saam Acupuncture since 2020. She moderated the Saam Acupuncture forum on Qiological.com for 2 years before starting her own forum in the White Pine Circle. Deeply understanding the foundations of Saam is key to effective and safe practice. Kristin enjoys helping students develop Saam specific observation skills and providing students with practical tools to help them get clear with this powerful system.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to highly recommend Kristin to anyone interested in learning how to apply the principles of the Saam acupuncture tradition to their clinical practice. Kristin attended the very first Introduction to Saam workshop at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine in January of 2019. Fascinated with the tradition, Kristin went on to attend three more workshops and deepen her knowledge.
Since then, Kristin has become the moderator of the lively and influential Saam discussion forum on Qiological. I have worked closely with Kristin as she ensures the clear dissemination of the tradition in her role as moderator. In this role, I have found Kristin to be consistently thoughtful, kind, and impeccable as she guides students to safely incorporate the tradition into their practices.
In January of this year she became the first teaching assistant for the tradition. By marrying her twenty years of clinical experience to her dedication to the Saam tradition she would serve as an ideal mentor. I recommend her without reservation.
Sincerely,
Toby Daly, PhD, LAc
I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell anyone reading this about my experience with Kristin over the years. She is a skilled acupuncturist whose approach, always kind and compassionate, makes patients feel at ease and respected. She listens attentively, intuitively decides on a course of treatment, follows through with gentleness, listening and responding to feedback from her patients. She brings a deep knowledge and understanding of the human body and the very subtle signs indicating areas that are out of balance. She has successfully treated me for a variety of health difficulties, large and small. I have never been disappointed in the outcome of her treatments and am grateful to have such a competent, wise, and compassionate person supporting me in my quest to maintain and improve my health. -C.L.
