David N. Bole, Ph.D., A.P

David N. Bole, Ph.D., A.P. is the director of the Traditional Acupuncture Center in Gainesville, Florida. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy from the department of Psychology at the University of Florida. He continued his post-graduate studies in acupuncture at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Oxford, England. He has also studied acupuncture and herbal medicine in China and Japan and has completed two postgraduate degrees. He is currently licensed as an Acupuncture Physician (A.P.) in the state of Florida. In addition he has been awarded both a Diplomate in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Dr. Bole specializes in a painless, non-invasive style of Traditional Five Element Japanese Meridian Therapy called Toyohari. He is a Toyohari teacher and served as the Academic Dean of the Florida branch to the Toyohari Association in Japan. Dr. Bole has also dedicated himself to the study of martial arts and Chi Kung. He teaches Tai Chi and offers workshops designed to enhance health and awareness.

Dr. Bole is also a former Tibetan Buddhist monk and has completed the traditional Karma Kagyu Buddhist three-year retreat under the guidance of his renowned master, Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. As a westerner trained in this ancient Buddhist lineage he is able to bridge the gap between eastern and western philosophical approaches to health, healing and meditation.
