TAI CHI PRACTITIONER

Lai Lan Chung

Lai Lan Chung was born and grew up in Hong Kong. She obtained a business degree in the United Kingdom and returned to Hong Kong to work whilst at the same time studying acupuncture under the Professor of Acupuncture from Nanjing University. She practised in a clinic of the Chinese Medical Practitioners Association until she moved to the Netherlands after her marriage. Whilst she was living in the Netherlands, she set up an acupuncture clinic together with the professor who trained her in Nanjing. Because of her interest in health sciences, Lai is currently enrolled in a double degree in Sports Science and Biomedical Science at Notre Dame University.

Lai has been practicing Tai Chi for more than twenty years and has found it of immense benefit on a physical as well as intellectual level. She is a firm believer in both Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Western Medicine and feels they can work in a complementary manner. Lai is delighted to be conducting Tai Chi classes at The Healing Tree where she can share her expertise in small group lessons, so that other people can benefit from this ancient form of exercise.
