About

Chinese medicine had been a part of James’s life since the day he was born. His maternal grandfather was a well-known practitioner of Chinese medicine and a Wing Chun martial artist in his town before the Vietnamese war brought him and his family over to England. Bits and pieces of James’ grandfather’s practising knowledge got passed down to his sons and daughters but as no one choose to go into Chinese medicine, the knowledge is very limited and mainly lost to time. Fortunately, with the passion to follow in his grandfather’s work, James has dedicated his life into the study of Chinese medicine, Taiji Quan, and Qi Gong (also called Dao Yin). James graduated as an Acupuncturist (MSc) from the University of Westminster in 2017 and have been practicing since and alongside this, he has also been practicing Taiji Quan and Qi Gong for over 8 years. His integrated approach is unique because he incorporates the experience from his Taiji Quan and Qi Gong practices into his acupuncture and TuiNa massage. What this results in is a harmony between the very rigid TCM framework and the energy/intuitive methods. With his approach he focuses on the physical and mental aspect at the same time, giving a more holistic and balanced treatment. James has helped multiple patients through mental health distress such as anxiety, depression, muscle aches and pains, and even the cold common. James has also been influenced by Japanese Acupuncture, and Shiatzu.
