About Thea
Thea Elijah, LAc, has been a student of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture for over 30 years. She is the former director of the Chinese Herbal Studies Program at Tai Sophia Institute and the Chinese Herbal Studies Program at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture.
She has apprenticed and studied with some of the most influential Chinese medicine teachers in the West. Thea is also a Muqaddam of the Shadhuliyyah Sufi Order.
What people are saying about Thea as a teacher: “I love how Thea teaches herbs without separating the physical issues from emotional and spiritual issues. This is how herbs were originally used. Eventually, the emotional and spiritual aspects of health became culturally taboo and all the information left about their use focused on physical ailments. This course offers a truly holistic approach to the use of herbal formulas. It is unique, dynamic, and cutting edge. It brings humanity and richness into one’s perspective as a practitioner. I have seen remarkable results in my practice. “
