Britton holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, the highest credential available to practitioners of Chinese medicine in the United States.
His education in Chinese medicine follows a life-long interest in traditional east Asian healing modalities that arose during childhood in New York City and was fostered at Williams College. His first career as a yoga teacher and bodyworker was grounded in twelve years of martial arts training and nearly twenty years of yoga study with luminaries such as Rodney Yee and Richard Freeman.
Seeking a comprehensive and holistic system of internal medicine, Britton earned a master’s degree from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and a doctoral degree from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. While in Oregon, he spent two formative years in private practice with Dr. Haosheng Zhang.
In addition to clinical practice, Britton is seasoned in research and medical scholarship. He is a published author in western and Chinese medicine journals. He is board certified in acupuncture and herbal medicine, holds licensure in New Hampshire and Vermont, and is a member of the New Hampshire Acupuncture and Asian Medicine Association.
