What Participants Said
I attended all 3 courses and found that they are all very enriching and useful. The teachers are very knowledgeable and shared generously.
This course has taught us the essence of Chinese Medicine in an easy-to-understand format, which can be appreciated by even laymen. It not only created awareness of TCM but also promoted the importance of healthy living. Really kudos to the teachers' passion.
The Course has been an amazing learning experience for me. The Basic Concepts and Methods of TCM could help every one achieve a holistic transformation of Mind, Body and Soul.
For someone who is non Mandarin speaking and trained in the western approach to healthcare, this course conducted in English is truly beneficial to my understanding of TCM. Helped me appreciate the value of TCM in combination with western medicines.
