Illness is endemic to life.
Animals get ill,
plants get ill and
human beings get ill too.
However humans are the only creatures making the conscious effort to end illness.
That effort is called compassion and makes humanity the link between Heaven and Earth.
Master Jeffrey Yuen
Welcome to my web site; a window open on my practice of acupuncture, body work and taiji (liuhebafa).
The main purpose of these pages is to give you an overview of my approach to these arts so that you can decide when, how and if they can help you.
As an acupuncturist trained according to the Classics of Chinese Medicine instead of simply focusing on your manifested symptoms I will try to understand how these integrate in your life and which part they play in it. My style of acupuncture keeps into account your constitutional energies and the way they relate to your life cycles, but ultimately I will look at the way you express your vitality in order to give a functional answer to your needs.
This website is also a way to acknowledge and honour the people who brought me here: my liuhebafa master, all my Chinese medicine teachers at the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) and through them the ancient Chinese philosophers who - more than 2000 years ago - developed the elegant and sophisticated ideas at the root of the practice of Oriental Medicine.
My mission is to follow their footsteps on the path to compassion, gentleness and benevolence that ends at the heart of human being, fulfilling the ultimate aspiration of Oriental Medicine: yangsheng 養生 (to nourish and protect life).
If you are considering treatment and would first like to gather more information or if you are interested in any other aspect of my work, please feel free to contact me.
