Our Vision
- To assume the role of your family health practitioner
- To look after people in sickness and in health
- To inspire our patients to live their life in a simple way and in harmony with the environment just like how the ancient Chinese lived their lives over 2000 years ago. We believe that this is the main reason why Chinese medicine was so effective back then.
We all hear how great and sometimes even miraculous Chinese medicine is in treating difficult conditions. Heck, this is even the reason why I studied it in the first place. However, throughout my experiences as a student, a lecturer and a clinician of Chinese medicine, I find that the image of how great Chinese medicine doesn’t always match it clinically when I see patients in my practice. Don’t get me wrong, of course I still have great results in my practice, otherwise I won’t last this long in this profession, but still I wasn’t satisfied.
After years of search and talking to my students and fellow practitioners I realized that to re-create the effectiveness of Chinese medicine 2000 years ago, I have to try and follow how it was practiced back then. I understood that there are two factors that influence the effectiveness of the treatment. And that is one, the Chinese medicine practitioner and two, the Patient. You see before this, I was mainly focusing on myself. I was mainly focusing on my Chinese medicine diagnosis and the Chinese herbs and acupuncture points that I will prescribe. I did not pay much attention to what my patients did after they left my clinic as long as they kept coming back. I did not pay close attention to how my patients live their lives, what makes them upset, how their discomfort frustrates and limit them in doing the things that they enjoy doing. I did not realize that this is a very important part of the recovery process. But surprisingly many health practitioners take this for granted, including myself.
Since then, I started listening more to my patients and finding out what makes them "tick", how their discomforts affect their family life, work and personal life. In a sense I have incorporated this knowledge in my consultation and treatment plan. By sharing with you what things you can do to help you take over your health and eventually your life and live it how it is meant to be lived, I am better able to control and predict the outcome of the treatment. These are just some of the factors that I now also take into consideration when I formulate my treatment plan.
