A forty year veteran of ancient Chinese principles, Dr Dunas has used her understanding of human behavior and the human body to enhance the lives of individuals, couples and corporate executives.   Her work supports health, vitality, interpersonal intimacy and leadership development.    Felice’s passion for healing developed as a child watching the medical struggles of her two father figures.  At 10 years old she lost her biological father to cancer. Her step-father, an internist and one of the founders of Kaiser Permanente Hospitals, was unable to heal all of his patients and lamented the limitations of his field.  “I was inspired to find a medical system that would explain how my father could be at peak health at forty one and dead of a terminal illness one year later.  I also wanted to augment what my step-father was able to provide so that together, we could heal everyone.”    Dr Dunas was awarded the ‘Acupuncturist of the Year” award, the highest honor bestowed by her profession, in 2002 for her leadership, teaching and clinical skills.  Today, she utilizes Western and Integrative medical techniques to address a myriad of client and patients’ needs that pertain to physical, emotional and leadership challenges.   Before earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Medical Sociology/International Health Care from UCLA, she served a three year apprenticeship with noted Japanese and Korean acupuncturists.  In 1988 she completed her Doctorate in Clinical Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology at Samra University, the U.S. based sister school to the Medical College of Shanghai.    Dr. Dunas is the author of the best-selling book from Penguin-Putnam, "PASSION PLAY: Ancient Secrets for a Lifetime of Health and Happiness Through Sensational Sex”.
