What attracted me to Chinese Medicine, essentially, was my personal experience with the gentle, yet powerful healing capabilities of this medicine embodied in both the philosophy of TCM as well as the healing modalities of acupuncture, herbal medicine, body work, food therapy, tai chi and qi gong. I love that this medicine is a wholistic approach that takes into consideration the macrocosm as well as the microcosm, the individual and their world -all the while- recognizing that we are each as different as individual snowflakes and as such the approach we take to each person must be as unique as they are. While the study of TCM is highly intellectual and demanding, for those who are interested, there is a profoundly deep spiritual and philosophical basis at the root of TCM whose flower can be seen at blossoming in the life of those who practice and follow the teachings. As such, I find that TCM feeds both my heart and my mind…and, in time, I hope to use these many gifts in service to others in need.
