Who Is Susan Johnson?

Susan Johnson, L.Ac., is one of the most respected teachers of Master Tung's acupuncture in the Western world. Her materials represent a lifetime of dedication to learning, practicing, and preserving this remarkable system.

Direct Lineage

Susan was one of the first Westerners to learn Master Tung's system directly from the original teachers. She studied extensively with Dr. Miriam Lee, who was instrumental in the legalization of acupuncture in California, and with Dr. Wei-Chieh Young, who trained directly under Master Tung himself. This direct transmission gives her materials an authenticity and depth that cannot be replicated from books alone.

You can learn more about this lineage on the Lineage page.

40+ Years of Clinical Experience

Susan has been practicing and teaching Tung's acupuncture for over four decades. During this time, she has:

• Treated tens of thousands of patients using these techniques
• Taught thousands of practitioners worldwide
• Continuously refined her understanding of the system
• Developed insights that go beyond what her teachers originally shared

Her materials reflect this depth of experience. The clinical commentary, case studies, and practical guidance come from real-world application, not just theory.

A Teacher's Heart

What sets Susan apart is her dedication to passing on this knowledge completely and clearly. She has spent years creating comprehensive materials — the three-volume book series and extensive video courses — so that practitioners anywhere in the world can learn this system properly.

As one practitioner wrote: "Thank you for sharing such depth, wisdom and experience. My clinic is rising to another level with every TUNG treatment."

Preserving the Lineage

Susan sees her work as preserving a treasure for future generations. Master Tung's system was once a closely guarded family secret. Through her teachers and her own work, this knowledge is now available to any practitioner willing to study it seriously. Her books and courses represent the most complete documentation of the Tung's system ever created in English.
