About Me
Robert Foerster
Lic.Ac. MAcS TCM. SMT.
Born to western medical parents, I enertained the idea of becoming a surgeon. I spent some time in China as a teenager to study anatomy, physiology and medical terminology at the university my father taught at.
That's when I met an acupuncturist, and martial arts mentor of mine, who once taught:
“Western medicine sees the body as a machine with parts to be altered with and ignored if symptoms aren't life threatening enough. Ancient Chinese medicine sees the body as a garden. When a plant is dry, it is watered, not replaced.”
After watching his patients' success, as well as having treated my life long acid reflux, I was inspired to learn Chinese medicine for its actuate healing process and technique.
Years later, I moved to the UK and graduated from the most prestigious college of acupuncture in the UK;
The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, with a bachelor's degree in science and honours (BScH).
I am equipped with the knowledge and skills of the ancient doctors, their predecessors, and today's contemporary pioneers. I am proficiently trained in all modes of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments. I am also a qualified sports massage therapist.
​
As a hobby I write science fiction, practice callisthenics, yoga/Pilates, and go on long hikes in the wilderness to meditate on the mysteries of the universe.
