“For the woman inside of me who always wants to get the truth, the exact answer, the most appropriate translation of our ancestral Chinese medicine, studying with Sabine Wilms and Leo Lok is a feeling of being at the best possible place. As the result of taking their course on "Nurturing Our Nature," and of watching the Tea Time Talks and listening to the podcasts, I have realized how profound, delicate, and specific they are, working together as a team, in how to translate every word or idea in its historical and cultural context of history.

Their work has helped me to understand that my feeling of getting the truth is a huge amount of work for any translator of our medicine. And I believe we need the best translators, so we can keep our medicine pure and in honor of our ancestors. I wrote « translator » but I would like to emphasize that it is not just a word but hard work and much more talent and hard work. It confirms to me that we, the practitioners, have to be serious about our choice of translations of our medicine. I really enjoyed studying with Sabine Wilms and Leo Lok. Both of them together, I think they make a wonderful team!
