Sara Tillie, RA
Sara studied T.C.M. (Traditional Chinese Medicine) for four years at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Vancouver after being a student at the University of Victoria. She completed her internship at the Acupuncture hospital in Heifei in Aunhui province in China and the teaching hospital in Jaingsu province. The teaching hospital combined modern western medicine with acupuncture - M.R.I’s and acupuncture were used side by side in treating illness and injury – and it was from these institutions that Sara graduated and received her certification. Says Sara, “The time I spent in China gave me a much clearer understanding of what I learned in Vancouver, and it definitely influences my method of treatment.” |
