About Ian & Cindy Rawlinson LAC

Ian Rawlinson B.A., B.Ac., Lic. Ac. I was born and grew up in England. Part of my education was at A.S. Neil’s school, Summerhill, and later I went on to study Fine Art. I completed my formal education by taking a post-graduate teaching course at London University. In 1974 I went to India to study Indian philosophy and yoga and I taught yoga full-time for several years.My interest in acupuncture started when one of my yoga pupils got dramatic results from having acupuncture treatments for severe migraine headaches. After reading about the many different traditions of acupuncture, I decided to study at the College of Traditional Acupuncture with the world-renowned teacher Professor J. R. Worsley. What drew me to this tradition was the emphasis placed upon adapting the treatment to meet the individual needs of each patient. Shortly after graduating in 1983, Cindy and I moved to California and we have had an acupuncture practice in Petaluma ever since.
