Ming Menn Acupuncture - Soham Nathalie Amaudruz

I have been practicing massage and acupuncture for over 25 years now ...

Healing, bone setting, massage... has always been part of my life: my father would see his many patients after work in our living room...

So it was only natural that I started massaging when I was around 17 or 18...

After a few years of unsatisfactory studies, I first turned to naturopathy in order to acquire basic knowledge of different health systems.

My heart had long been drawn to the Land of the Rising Sun and Asian medicine.

So I continued my studies with training in acupuncture.

At the time, I was practicing martial arts, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong.

During those years of study, I was fortunate to meet a few "masters" who believed in me.

This led me to work with a bone setter for about two years: he gave me confidence and a solid, healthy "framework."

I assisted my traditional Chinese medicine teacher for a few years (one day a week), then I taught first- to third-year students the fundamentals of traditional Chinese medicine, puncture techniques, pulse taking, etc.

Armed with this wonderful knowledge, I traveled to Ladakh to share my expertise with a Tibetan female doctor who was practicing in a Tibetan refugee camp.

It was a timeless experience...

It was in Ladakh that I discovered Ayurveda.
