Gratitude — Heavens Gate

We are indebted to Dr Jinliang (Jim) LIU and his wife Lucy without whom Simon would not be still practising as a Chinese Medical Physician. Jim has been one of the family - a rare true and genuine friend - a real gem and a brother to Simon as well as an esteemed colleague and brilliant learned Doctor of the Art and Science of Classical Chinese Medicine - the first people to whom our gratitude is expressed on (and off) this website! Thank you both.

Gratitude to Dr Yizhen JIA my undergraduate tutor and mentor in Acupuncture and TCM Herbal Medicine including TCM Gynaecology and Advanced Gynaecological Acupuncture at the British College of Acupuncture 1991-1995. Sadly we have lost touch even though Yizhen lives and works nearby. We highly recommend and respect Dr JIA as a Dr of TCM Dr JIA can be contacted on 07947 546 387. “Mrs Yi Zhen studied at the GanSu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After graduating as a bachelor of science in 1984, Yi Zhen undertook further study and gained her master's degree. On coming to the UK in 1990, Yi Zhen began work with the British College of Acupuncture as a lecturer and clinical supervisor” E mail info@acupunctureandherbalmedicine.co.uk

“For over 2000 years, Chinese medicine has focused strongly on the healing properties of the natural world. Used either on its own or alongside acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine uses the healing properties of herbal plants and their extracts to treat patients and cure diseases, heal injuries and restore mental harmony” Thank you Dr JIA.

Many thanks to the late great Dr Xie Pei Qi Master of Yin Style Ba Gua Zhang - both the healing and martial threads of this very rich school of Traditional Arts

Simon was so fortunate to have studied with this true gentleman who taught that we are all from the same source or origin and that therefore there should be unity and undertsanding between people of all cultural backgrounds and faiths - he treated everyone the same with the respect they deserved regardless of ethnicity, social status, faith or background. He was the antithesis of xenophobic - a kind and caring Xenodochial Gentleman steeped in his own rich cultural traditions and eager to share them so that they lived on after his death.

Simon is again lucky to have had the benefit of the influence of Master Jeffrey C Yuen in his formation as a Practitioner of Classical Chinese Medicine. Master Yuen “is an 88th generation Daoist priest from the Jade Purity School, Lao Tzu sect, and a 26th generation priest of the Complete Reality School, Dragon Gate sect. He apprenticed for more than 20 years in Classical Chinese Medicine and other Daoist healing arts with Master Yu Wen, who transmitted his lineage to Master Yuen before Master Yu Wen’s death at the age of 108. He also studied under the direct tutelage of Lu Xin-Zu, a Daoist priest of the Long Men tradition.” I make no claims here other than that I have benefited from his wisdom, attended some of his seminars and listened repeatedly to his recorded teachings. Thank you to him and to all in Master Yuen’s lineage.

Thanks from our whole family to all the practitioners and Masters of the

Kriya Yoga lineage.

Gratitude to Dr Li Lin TCM Dermatologist affiliated with Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine and to Professor of TCM Gynaecology Dr Jizi SHEN

With thanks to the late Dr. Royston H. Low (PhD, ND, MRO, FbAcA) who “was a pioneering British osteopath, acupuncturist, lecturer, and author who is widely recognized as one of the foundational figures of traditional acupuncture in Great Britain.

After qualifying as an osteopath in 1953, he began practicing acupuncture in 1961. Alongside figures like Professor J.R. Worsley and Dr. Johannes van Buren, Dr. Low was instrumental in establishing acupuncture colleges and developing the professional training frameworks used throughout the UK.

Professional Leadership & Academic Roles

Dr. Low held numerous leadership and academic positions within various acupuncture and professional associations. Further details regarding his institutional roles can be found via Feng Shui for Modern Living”
