It’s not what you expect; not what you learned in school. This isn’t exercise. It’s a clinically integrated system that opens an entirely new stream of care and revenue. No one else can offer it because no one else has it.
About
Elevate Your Profession
Lineage TCM is a private training and professional community for the next generation of leaders in this medicine.
It’s for practitioners and students who feel something’s missing — even after doing everything “right.” The ones craving clarity, consistency, and real results.
We know the gaps. This training fills them.
You’ll train across five essential domains:
Acupuncture, Tuina, Qi Gong, Clinical Operations. and Business Strategy
Each strengthens a part of your practice. Together, they form a complete, integrated system.
This isn’t about collecting more — it’s about seeing how it all fits.
If you’re ready to elevate your craft — not just add techniques — join us.
The Training
A new way of operating.
You’ll leave this training with more than skills: you’ll leave with certainty.
You’ll understand the why, when, and how behind your modalities, but more importantly, how they converge.
Real mastery isn’t about using more. It’s about knowing exactly how and what to use and when it matters most. You’ll walk away with my exact clinical blueprint, built over 25 years, and the clarity to adapt it with purpose.
aDVANCED aCUPUNCTURE
Master a proprietary method that corrects centuries of TCM error — and refines it with clinical precision. Learn what to use, when, and where. This is the leap from practitioner to master acupuncturist.
Elite tuina
Develop refined touch, diagnostic fluency, and nonverbal pattern recognition. You’ll train your hands to see and go beyond fascia and tensegrity into the body’s deeper signaling systems — where structure, sensation, and insight converge.
Lineage Qi Gong
Clinical Mastery
Treat like a master. Run like a CEO.
Leave with the knowledge and systems to deliver elite care and a clinic that matches it. From intake to income; it’s all built in.
INSTRUCTOR
DON ALLEN
I’m Don Allen, a Licensed Acupuncturist in Pennsylvania and New York, with over 25 years in TCM. I started in tuina and manual therapy, and have over 15 years practicing acupuncture in the U.S.
I lived in Shanxi, China for nearly six years, became the first American to graduate (in Chinese) from Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and was formally adopted in 2009 as the successor to my martial arts and Daoist lineage. My training includes masters. My path started in martial arts back in 1986.
What I teach can’t be found in books or webinars because it was never meant to be. It’s traditional. Direct. Earned.
Lineage TCM isn’t about trends, it’s about restoring certainty, raising standards, and giving practitioners the tools to lead. I teach no more than ten students at a time, and no more than 100 per year. That’s not gatekeeping. That’s legacy, protected.

Why This Class Exists
There’s no shortage of courses, gadgets, and $99 secrets. But if they worked, you wouldn’t still be searching. The problem isn’t you — it’s a profession flooded with noise. Too much protocol. Not enough transmission. Lineage TCM cuts through all of it. You’ll train hands-on in real time, learning directly from systems passed down by masters like Zhang Jin, Wang Wen De, Zhao Li Xin, and Zhang Wei Dong. You’ll correct what history got wrong, and finally understand techniques the way they were meant to be used.
This isn’t a course. It’s a restoration — of how this medicine was always meant to be passed down: directly, precisely, completely. No Zoom. No mass enrollment. Just ten students per city. You won’t leave with a script — you’ll leave with a system to treat, think, and lead at a level most never reach. This is where practitioners become leaders — and the profession finally gets the standard it deserves.
CURRICULUM
Where It All Comes Together
Two days. Four training blocks. This level of training is deliberately kept offline, out of books, and away from the echo chamber of recycled content. You’re stepping into clinical precision and professional distinction that can’t be downloaded. This is about unlocking what most practitioners never access — the clarity, confidence, and mastery that separates real clinicians from the crowd. The price reflects that. And protects it.
What you learn here is the end of the line — the last stop before real depth begins. These aren’t just techniques; they become tools, identity, and legacy. You’ll train in real time, be corrected in the moment, and leave with a system worthy of protecting. Each day is split into two focused blocks with built-in pacing for feedback, repetition, and refinement. No fluff. No filler. Just the kind of transmission that earns its place — and stays with you for life.

FAQ
The Audience
Licensed acupuncturists, current students, and experienced practitioners from adjacent fields — including DOs, DCs, MDs, and PTs — who have a solid grasp of TCM foundations and are ready to train beyond technique.
We’re not starting from scratch. This is advanced-level training built for those who know enough to know they want more — and are ready to elevate their practice with integrity, clarity, and power.
The Distinction
This is precision training:
Hands-on. In-person. Real-time.
Taught by a lineage holder with nearly three decades of experience — and built on proprietary methods you won’t find in books, PDFs, or CEUs.
Each class is capped at 10 students. Only 100 practitioners are accepted each year. That’s how mentorship stays real — and results stay personal.
The Offering
• 2 full days of elite, hands-on training
• Catered, allergy-friendly meals and drinks
• All clinical tools and training supplies
• Private access to our alumni network
• Ongoing mentorship — direct access after the course
• Certificate of completion with your unique class number
The Investment
$3,600. One price. All access.
This isn’t an hourly rate or weekend CEU — it’s a career-defining investment.
You’ll train in person, receive direct mentorship, and leave with tools most never access — and a clinical system no one else can offer. No upsells. Just the clarity, confidence, and outcomes that transform your practice.
It pays for itself — in patients, performance, mentorship, and peace of mind. And yes, it’s a tax write-off. You’ll learn that too.
