There he became proficient in orthopedic disorders, internal medicine and both Western and Eastern nutrition. Paul officially began his education in Eastern Medicine in 2005 at Pacific College, an institution well known for its integrative approach with Western Medicine. He graduated with a double major in East Asian Studies and Psychology, a combination which prepared him well for both his Masters Degree in Chinese Medicine and his profession as an acupuncturist. As a martial arts instructor, Paul found great fulfillment in empowering his students with the confidence to overcome obstacles. Paul continued his love of the martial arts while enrolled in NYU, which developed into a passion for health and fitness. Paul became obsessed with this training and fully immersed himself in his life-long study of how to balance and strengthen the Mind, Body, and Spirit. All teachers had a profound influence on him, not only for their superior skill, but also by demonstrating how to lead a healthy life through disciplined training. Empowered by his new found sense of strength, he went on to train Kung Fu, earned a black belt in Okinawan Go Ju Ryu, and studied under some of the great masters in the martial arts world. Paul's martial arts training began with Muay Thai at the age of eight. Early memories such as these helped to shape Paul's compassion in the treatment process. Paul remembers seeing his father treat a child whose fingers had been blown off after playing with fireworks, as well as his mother's kindness towards a seven-year-old terminally ill cancer patient. They raised a healthy and robust little Paul, whom they occasionally brought to work with them, allowing him to witness trauma care and patient interaction. Name dropping aside, Paul’s parents moved to New York after completing medical school in Bangkok, and built a life together as pediatricians. In fact Paul’s great, great grandfather was none other than King Rama IV, (the king made famous in “The King and I”).
His unique cultural background, coupled with his extensive experience in the martial arts, have created what some may call an unconventional wellness system which New Yorkers are lining up to experience.Īlthough a New Yorker born and raised, Paul’s family comes from Thai Royalty.
