Derek Posted December 21, 2018 Have to write a comment because I am new on the daobum. So, in life I am a composer, a pianist and a teacher. After several years, I am already 46, so still very young, I am planning a career switch to acupuncture and tuina. I am studying TCM and herbs and qi gong and some martial stuff for about 8 years now, so I like to change my job in about 4 years. First I need a western medical diploma to even start with a postgraduat acupuncture etc. So I will have a lot study to do. wish me luck derek 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manitou Posted December 27, 2018 Hi Derek, Welcome to the Bums - I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as I have. Bouncing off so many different traditions has a way of filing down the rough edges and seeing the whole picture. I love this place. Manitou 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
