I would have liked to come across this course much earlier in my practice as in school we just didn't do much with the extraordinary meridians. This information is so enlightening.Pamela M.Canada
I highly recommend studying whenever possible with Elisabeth Rochat. Her knowledge and understanding of classical medical Chinese is an invaluable asset to our medicine and we need more teachers and translators like her to raise the level of our profession. Edward F.United States of America
Elisabeth has an incredible ability to distill the essence of topics, and to convey the spirit of the medicine through her words. Notes from her classes and books can enrich a grasp of theory and practice over many years, returning to them anew. I so appreciate her boundless inspiration. Nicola B.Canada
Elisabeth is such an inspiration with her considerable knowledge and clarity. It is a privilege to hear her.Jane O.Canada
