How I got this website off the ground

I finally published my website, hurray! You're probably wondering how a busy mature student can find the time to do this. The sad answer is I've just been made redundant from my job -- so instead of moping around feeling sorry for myself, I spent a bit of time building my acupuncture website. It was supposed to be up and running for when I start practising acupuncture in north London in Summer 2015, but now it is an acupuncture website chronicling my last year of Chinese medicine studies. 

I've got the more boring bits of studies out of the way -- the Chinese medicine history and theory, biomedicine, pathology, pharmacology, and two years of clinic observation. Now I've got the fun bits to look forward to -- treating at the London South Bank teaching clinic, a few months of further training at our partner university of Chinese medicine in Harbin, Heilongjiang. And then there is a small matter of a dissertation, gulp!

So I invite you to hang out here with me every so often and maybe learn a thing or two about staying in good health and avoiding disease, a la ancient Chinese. Elixir of immortality and all that. I aim to post regular blog updates on Facebook. I still need convincing about the usefulness of Twitter, so if anyone is a big Twitter fan, please do give me a heads up.

Tess that's bad news,hope the pay off was good. Everything happens for a reason, this to me clearly is your calling ,now work is out of the way you can concentrate on your life in TCM ! Strangely on the way to clinic Monday I was having a "who's gonna make it" head count , you were top (obviously my beloved Lynne) but you for sheer determination and consistency , so chins up the Zimmer frame crew will prevail , good luck xx

Hey Mark, I forgot to tell you yesterday that I was offered a part-time job (still within my current company) from when I get back from China to October next year. Great timing. And it's working from home, which suits me fine. I might call you a lot just to have some human interaction....

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. Yes, you'd think I'd be able to concentrate on those essays and biomedicine exam now. But just the opposite!

But you're spot on. Chinese medicine is now a calling. I'm going to be the healthiest Zimmer frame-carrying granny in town!

    ... or a record of a Filipina's adventures in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). 

    I am a practitioner of traditional acupuncture based  at Violet Hill Studios in St. John's Wood and in Hampstead Garden Suburb, both located in north London.

    ​I am registered and fully insured with the British Acupuncture Council. I studied Chinese Medicine at the Confucius Institute of TCM (within the London South Bank University) and at the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine in Harbin, China.
