| Introduction | Vlad Koros (pen name of Vladislav Korostyshevskiy) is an acupuncturist who has published articles in leading acupuncture journals and conducts continuing education seminars for other acupuncture practitioners. Born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, Vlad first became acquainted with the healing arts at the age of fifteen, when he began studying under a traveling monk. That study lasted for two years, until Vlad immigrated to the United States in 1991. While a student majoring in biology at Touro College in Manhattan, he continued to seek out information on ancient meditative and healing techniques. That search led him to a Buddhist monastery in New York, where he pursued a four-year-long apprenticeship. He later studied acupuncture at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, and now practices in Brooklyn, New York, where he also lives. |
