Tzafrir Nachmani has been practising Chinese Medicine since 2007, with 14 years at the Izun Institute for Addiction and Mental Illness in Israel. This unique institute successfully integrates multiple therapeutic modalities, with the purpose of treating severe mental conditions (such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, PTSD etc.) and various addictions.

During his years of practising Chinese medicine, Tzafrir has treated patients and conditions that are rarely seen in an ordinary clinic and has developed a novel way of understanding and approaching these conditions.

One of the these conditions that he has been treating all these years is Trauma and PTSD. He has been teaching the treatment of trauma since 2017, and since the 7 of October attack in Israel, he has been working intensively with survivors, soldiers and therapists.

Tzafrir’s article entitled “Acupuncture Treatment of Substance Induced Psychosis, Addiction and Pain” was published by Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

Tzafrir Nachmani graduated from East & West College for Classical Chinese Medicine in Tel Aviv, Israel. He is trained in five element acupuncture, and he is influenced by the teaching of Jeffery Yuen (US). He is also trained in herbal medicine, stems and branches, and trauma-oriented focusing.

Beside Chinese Medicine, Tzafrir is also a Body-Oriented Psychotherapist. He graduated from a 2-year program for therapists in the “Hakomi” method, and he is still in continues learning.

Combining the knowledge of Chinese Medicine and Psychotherapy, Tzafrir is practising and teaching how to do Psychotherapy Through the Body.
