About Mr. Devitt
Skya Gardner-Abbate began her career as a medical sociologist serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Brazil before teaching at the University of Rhode Island's department of sociology. She graduated summa cum laude from Salve Regina College in 1973 as class valedictorian, earning a bachelor's degree in sociology, then earned a master's degree in sociology at the University of Rhode Island in 1981.
In 1983, she graduated from the acupuncture program at the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Santa Fe, New Mexico and has since undertaken two advance clinical training programs with the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, China. In addition to her duties as executive director of Southwest Acupuncture College, she is a licensed doctor of Oriental medicine in the state of New Mexico; a former president of the New Mexico Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine; and has served more than six years as an educational expert and commissioner for the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
I am currently a student of Oriental Medicine. I hope to be finished with school in the next two years. I am looking towards finding an opportunity to travel to Afrika and work in an area that could benefit from people with an eagerness to help people who do not have access to adequate medical care. Do you know of any international organizations that post healing opportunities?
Hi!
I am an norwegian acupucturist, with an interest for the work of Dr. Skya Gardner-Abbate. Can you help me finding a contact. Do you have an e-mail adress?
Best regards

Do you know if the books of Skya Gardner are translated into french ? I teach advanced classes of Shiatsu, practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism. The book on Palpatory diagnosis is excellant. I would be so pleased that more people know about it. If no one has started the translation work let me know. I'll be happy to do it.

I think Skya Gardener-Abbate's "Palpatory Dignosis" is one of the most practically useful books not only for acupuncturists but for all practitioners. I use it as a recommended text in my courses for my students because it offers a novel and eminently useful and practical, hands-on experiential tool for body assessment and treatment through touch -- so that for massage practitioners and herbalists it is a wonderful medium to incorporate as part of one's clinical protocol.
