29. William J Kaplanidis: Harnessing Eastern Medicine to Heal Our Inner Children

Owning your own health is one of the key precepts of The Shelly Story and GIOSTAR Chicago. As our lived experience showed us, it's important to look beyond "tried and true" methods for managing your body, mind and soul health. Eastern medicine offers many insights that may prove elusive with solely relying on surgery or medication.

With this in mind, Nikhil speaks with William J. Kaplanidis, Acupuncturist, Therapist, Teacher, Author and Founder of Acudragon Wellness. For over 30 years, William has helped people find the insight and courage to transform their lives and move towards true freedom and happiness. He developed the Acudragon® Wellness System to provide clients with skills and various modalities to achieve their goals and find their own path in life.

William has helped thousands through his individual treatment sessions as well as through his many classes. Individual sessions combine eastern modalities like acupuncture, acupressure, tui na, herbs, moxibustion, cupping with western mind-body therapies like the Sandlin Technique, hypnotherapy, counseling and aromatherapy. William teaches workshops and lectures on these modalities, as well as T’ai Chi and Qi Gong.

William lives and practices in New York City.
