Darrell Wallace

Darrell’s interest in health began when at 12 years of age he read a book on fasting and health. Recognizing, through changing his food choices, the distinction between health and the absence of disease, he began a lifelong quest to help others achieve their goal of optimal health. As a practitioner of yoga, martial arts and meditation for the past 50 years Darrell infuses his practice and teaching with the understanding that we are all works in progress.

Darrell is a graduate of Williams College and completed pre-medical coursework at Harvard University. Darrell is a board-certified licensed acupuncturist and a graduate of the New England School of Acupuncture, a 3-year program including additional coursework in Chinese Herbal Medicine to complement his study of Western Herbal medicine since 1982.

Darrell has apprenticed and taught with David Euler, L.Ac. and Kiiko Matsumoto, Lic. Ac. In addition, he began studying Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) with Toshikatsu Yamamoto, M.D., Ph.D. in 2004 and has continued to hone his YNSA skills by visiting Dr. Yamamoto in Japan since 2008.

Darrell has taught acupuncture at Harvard Medical School Continuing Education Department’s International Structural Acupuncture Course for Physicians from 2000 to 2016. There he served as a lecturer and clinical instructor, teaching palpation-based acupuncture and Dr. Yamamoto’s YNSA protocols. He has also taught in Germany, Switzerland, Greece and Italy.

Darrell believes that the key to being the most effective practitioner of the art and science of acupuncture is to be a committed continuous learner in this field that is his life’s work and passion.
