Felice Dunas began her studies in 1970, before acupuncture colleges or a profession in the United States existed outside Asian communities, then devoted 25 years to building the profession in the U.S. through legislation, curriculum, and college development. AAAOM recognized Dunas as Acupuncturist of the Year in 2001 for introducing the ancient subject of “sexuality as medicine” to the American acupuncture profession and for introducing classical Chinese medicine to thousands of corporate CEOs. Dunas has appeared on many television and radio shows, lectured globally, and serves as a consultant to corporations and hospitals on lowering healthcare costs with acupuncture and alternative medicine. She is the author of Passion Play: Ancient Secrets for a Lifetime of Health and Happiness Through Sensational Sex and has contributed to publications including Acupuncture Today, Prevention, Glamour, and Marie Claire.
