My passion for acupuncture is the result of a long personal and professional path. Growing up in Belgium, as well as Vietnamese and Buddhist culture, the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine is self-evident to me. I first studied Western medicine and with specialisation anaesthesia, a discipline in which pain relief and patient well-being are very important. After working as an anaesthetist for several years, I realised that I needed to take a complementary approach. The right moment arrived when I myself was successfully treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. My passion, eagerness to learn and constant search for solutions to my patients' ailments eventually made me decide to complete my skills and study this ancient healing method, based on observation and feeling, on deep listening to the patient, their symptoms and a detailed understanding of how the human body works. The healing mechanisms and processes activated by acupuncture are extremely fascinating. I would like to offer its beneficial effects, reconciling the Western view of healing and traditional Chinese medicine. Nhan Phan Thi Thanh has studied at Shenzhou Open University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Amsterdam, 2018-2019, 2020-2022) and has been able to enjoy the teaching of Chinese professors and one of the most comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine study programmes in Europe. Since 2018, Nhan has been able to take internships with three acupuncturists in Brussels. In 2019, she also travelled to China and completed a week-long practical training in Shanghai, Longhua Hospital of TCM. She also completed Dr Nadia Volf's training (Diplôme Interuniversitaire d'Acupuncture Scientifique, Université de Paris-Saclay, 2019-2020). There, she learned auricular acupuncture , a quick and efficient technique from once the causative diagnosis is made.

Always driven by a search for truth, a need for coherence and a deep aspiration to live according to these two axes. I was first interested in Art and the Human Sciences as gateways to understanding the world. Strongly affected by the state of the world in general, my first reaction was to be indignant and to stand up strongly to defend certain values ​​that I consider essential. I then became aware of my place, and therefore my responsibility, in my environment. Following these contrary days, I understood that through opposition we only obtain more opposition. Furthermore, the salad does not grow any faster when you pull on it. No longer directed in an offensive manner, I soon blossomed through meditation and Aikido. Which naturally led me to Chinese medicine, non-violent communication, and psycho-corporeal and energy therapy. In 2014 I began studies in Traditional Acupuncture and Energy Therapies. In 2017 I began offering my services as a therapist and around the same time I opened my own Aikido Dojo. I understand during this same period that a global approach would not be possible without going through food. This is why I trained in Chinese Dietetics and Naturopathy. I attach a lot of importance to getting to the essence of things. This has always guided me towards teachers who are part of traditional lineages such as Jan Janssen, Daniel Laurent, Alain Peyrache and Isabelle Padovani. Which means that I in turn subscribe to these particular lineages which, as tradition dictates, go to the cause and not only to the symptom. Which places the person at the center. The guideline that will emerge through all my practices will always be to help humans find the right movement. Having never lost my initial intentions and convictions, today I put all my heart into pursuing them with the greatest fluidity possible. Which seems to me to be the best way for all of us to be happy and healthy in a sustainable way.
