Oran is the author of five books about Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion, including the popular Moxa in Motion with the Ontake Method and Hirata Zone Therapy with the Ontake Method. Passionate about acupuncture and learning, he teaches the Ontake Method and Manaka System Acupuncture internationally. He has crossed the world with workshops in Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, East Asia and most recently, Australia. His workshops are lively, clear and informative, focusing on hands-on practice. Beyond his role as an educator, Oran also runs a successful online habit coaching practice, working with practitioners all over the world to develop their skills and professional practices.
