Especially the way Chinese Medicine is based upon the energy mechanics of the body and mind, and how health is maintained through the unity and constant transformation of the two opposite life forces, yin and yang.

Her five year training in TCM included Western Medicine basics, such as Anatomy, Physiology, Internal Medicine, Pharmacology, as well as Chinese Medicine basics such as Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Chinese Internal Medicine, Chinese food cure, TuiNa (Chinese massage), Qi Gong and Tai Chi (Chinese martial arts),… and some advanced courses in TCM (e.g., TCM psychology and TCM gerontology).

The latter was provided by Marry Elizabeth Wakefield, one of the leading proponents of facial renewal techniques in the world today.
