Bob Flaws
Bob Flaws began his study of Chinese medicine in 1977, and has since become one of the best-known English-language teachers, authors and practitioners of Chinese medicine. A champion of both the paradigm and process of Chinese medicine, Bob has written, translated and / or published over 80 books and hundreds of articles on the subject. Bob is known for the clarity of his explanations, the depth of his scholarship, and his passion for Chinese medicine.
Bob founded Blue Poppy alongside his wife Honora Wolfe in 1982. In 2010, Bob retired from Blue Poppy to rededicate himself full-time to the Tibetan Buddhist practice which initially drew him into Chinese medicine. Now primarily known as Lama Pema Chophel, he runs the Boulder Valley Ngakpa House, a Tibetan Buddhist practice center in Colorado.
Blue Poppy Continuing Education remains the primary source for exploring Bob's extensive depth of knowledge and studies of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
