In Create Shift S6,ep2 I chat with Sarah Major, Clinic Director at the International College of Oriental Medicine. I first met Sarah when she presented a guest lecture on the Yoga, Ayurveda and Holistic Health course I took 2019 – 2020. I filled my pages with scribbled notes, diagrams and representations of my brain exploding with the information it was receiving. I knew I had to have Sarah come onto the podcast to share the fascinating philosophy of acupuncture, and talk about how we could all use aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine to support our health and wellbeing.
I hope you enjoy listening to this fascinating discussion. You can find Sarah online at saramajoracupuncture.com and if you’re interested in studying acupuncture you can find out more at https://orientalmed.ac.uk/.
Thanks for listening,
