About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Mee Lain has been an educator in public and private school systems in Canada and China, a licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Medical Qi Gong Therapist, and Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a total of 23 years.
Mee Lain follows a long lineage of doctors in both Western and Eastern traditions on both her father’s and mother’s sides.
Mee Lain began her own personal expansion while teaching English for two years at the Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Nanchang City, China.
This exposure tranformed her as she had been deeply yearning from a very young age to find a comprehensive, holistic system of medicine to study. She then graduated from the 5-year full time Dr. TCM program at the Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Vancouver, Canada), including postgraduate clinical studies in Taichong, Taiwan. In Canada, the title of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the highest rank in this profession.
Mee Lain dedicated 12 years to running her clinic full-time in B.C., Canada in shared clinic space with a Western medical doctor. After meeting her best friend and soulmate Janek while studying Medical Qi Gong and starting a family together, she has reduced her availability to part-time the past few years to focus on raising her family.
Countless times, patients have told her they only really understood their state of health and how to help themselves after receiving her guidance, carefully explained TCM diagnosis, list of recommendations, and treatments. Having attained both a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Masters of Arts in Education from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C., Mee Lain's second passion is sharing knowledge.
She is now passionate about sharing the Secret Pearls of Chinese Medicine. Her patients' feedback over the years has deeply inspired her to now be focused on offering retreats in the warm, inviting clime of Spain that integrate this educational and experiential healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
She is particularly grateful to be able to offer retreats in balanced collaboration with her dear soulmate, Janek.
