Continuous learning is such an important part of practice, always refining, developing, staying curious, questioning and reflecting, absorbing…

And always fantastic to catch up with friends from NCA.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Wishing you health, happiness and prosperity for the year of the Fire Horse.

"the Horse Year of 2026 will be more lively than usual due to the presence of the fire element... fire energy can be explosive, yet also creative. In Chinese culture, fire represents imagination, charm, spontaneity, pleasure travel, expressiveness, curiosity, and inventiveness - 2026 may be a time for inspiration and innovation." Dr. CT Holman in the most recent edition of Acu. Magazine.
