Advice from Practitioners
Real-life advice from real-time practitioners. These are things we wish we knew before starting our practice of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine.
Jacqueline Semple, R.Ac
"Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and connect with other experienced and established health practitioners in town for mentorship, advice and real-life education regarding our profession. Some of my best connections and opportunities so far have developed from me meeting with others and starting networking groups that created professional relationships and connections."
Victor Morin, RMT
"You are here to do more than just "fix" a patient. You are instead here to guide them so that they take self responsibility for their own pain / health. You are not a ______ but a teammate in the patient's experience of life. Wholistic approach - the human is a whole. Some practitioners work too hard coming out of school, the pain science is saying do the gentle work and encourage - learn about peripheral nerves - right at the surface - instead of aggressive treatment, work is about coaxing the patient to heal themselves and all parts of them including their trauma, their self worth, their lifestyle, etc."
Glen Timms, RMT
"The scientific / clinical application of Massage has created respect and acceptance for our field. Try to be close to the hard won sciences, especially anatomy, maintaining precision and effectivity in the wonderful flowing art of massage."
