Ming Menn Acupuncture - Soham Nathalie Amaudruz

For over 25 years now, I've been practicing massageand acupuncture...

Healing, rebounding, massaging... has always been part of my life: my father used to receive his many patients after work in our salon...

So it was only natural that I started massaging when I was around 17 - 18 years old....

After a few years of unsatisfactory study, I turned first to naturopathyin order to acquire basic knowledge of the various health systems.

My heart had already long been set on the Rising Sun and Asian medicine.

So I went on to train as an acupuncturist.

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

During these years of study, I was lucky enough to meet a few "masters" who believed in me.

This is how I came to work with a bonesetter for about 2 years: he gave me confidence and a safe, healthy "canvas".

I assisted my traditional Chinese medicine teacher for a few years (1 day a week), then taught 1st to 3rd year students the basics of traditional Chinese medicine, poncture techniques, pulse taking, etc.

It was with this wonderful luggage that I traveled to Ladakh to share my knowledge with a Tibetan woman doctor who practiced in a Tibetan refugee camp.

It was a timeless experience...

It was in Ladakh that I discovered Ayurveda.
