Rachel Cheng’s journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began in her teenage years at an acupuncture clinic. Captivated by this ancient healing art, she pursued a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in TCM and Acupuncture at Hong Kong Baptist University. As a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong, Rachel gained extensive experience in general practice, managing a broad spectrum of health conditions. Despite seven years of rigorous academic training, the realities of clinical practice often felt both overwhelming and intricate.

A pivotal moment in Rachel’s professional development came when she undertook a three-year apprenticeship with a seasoned mentor. This mentorship filled critical gaps in her knowledge, answered longstanding questions, and opened doors to new possibilities that formal education had not fully explored.

In 2015, Rachel moved to Slovenia, a small country in Central Europe, marking the start of a new chapter in her career. Here, she faced fresh challenges and gained new perspectives on TCM. Alongside her busy clinical practice, Rachel collaborates with both national and international schools and organizations, focusing on advancing TCM education and advocacy. Her work is dedicated to enhancing the integration of ancient wisdom into modern healthcare, ensuring its relevance and effectiveness in today’s world.
