The year 2025 marks a turning point in my life.
I have diligently earned two diplomas: one as a qualified acupuncturist at the London Academy of Chinese Acupuncture (LACA), and another as a Brain Acupuncturist at the Academy of Scalp Acupuncture (ASA). These achievements represent a milestone in my career within the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
I am truly grateful to have graduated from both LACA and ASA, where I had the privilege of being taught by an elite team of TCM professors. Over the past two years, they have mentored, supported, and encouraged me, helping me complete a three-year acupuncture diploma in just two intensive years. The journey was not easy. There were moments of challenge and self-doubt, yet looking back, every effort was worthwhile. I am deeply proud of myself for this achievement.
During these years, I was also honoured to serve as a monitor and as student clinic manager, supporting my peers and learning alongside them as though we were a family. I was fortunate, too, to be a student member of CAHMA, SAS, and CMA, which gave me further opportunities to broaden my understanding of TCM.
I still vividly remember my very first independent treatment at the student clinic. It was for a female patient, under the supervision of one of our professors. I was nervous and anxious at the time, but today, I feel far more confident. In fact, I am now treating patients with positive outcomes and have begun volunteering as a neuro-acupuncturist at South Bucks Hospice, supporting patients with breast cancer and neurological conditions. This opportunity, one I had long hoped for, allows me to give back to the community and apply my skills in a meaningful way.
Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my professors and to my team. I know there is still a long road ahead before I can become the best TCM practitioner I aspire to be. Yet I embrace this lifelong journey of learning wholeheartedly, with passion and dedication.
