The Course
Learn pulse diagnosis in a clear, step-by-step way.
This course focuses on the 12 pulse positions that every acupuncturist and meridian therapist should know. You will learn how to place your fingers correctly, how to feel subtle differences in strength and quality, and how to connect these findings with the state of the meridians.
Each of the 17 short lessons (just over 1 hour in total) includes simple explanations and practical demonstrations that you can start using in your clinic immediately. You’ll also see how the pulse changes during treatment and how it gives you direct feedback about your needling.
The course is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. It helps you build confidence, improve diagnostic precision, and make your acupuncture treatments more consistent and effective.
Most students notice progress in their diagnostic skills within the first days of practice. And if for any reason the course doesn’t meet your expectations, you are fully protected

Your instructor
Michał Richter, MD – medical doctor, acupuncturist, educator
I have been working exclusively with acupuncture for over 25 years, performing around 20 treatments each day in my own clinic. My clinical approach is minimalistic and precise — often using just one to three carefully selected points to bring clear results.
For the past 15 years I have also been teaching acupuncturists and therapists. My courses focus on what works in real practice: clear explanations, structured teaching, and methods tested daily in the clinic. Students value that every lesson connects theory with hands-on experience, especially in the field of pulse diagnosis.
