Master Sha’s background in medicine and healing
From a very young age, Master Sha was interested in healing, energy and helping people. At six, he began training with one of a long line of masters in Eastern martial arts. By the age of 22, he began to combine his understanding of energy derived from in-depth practice of martial arts along with Chinese acupuncture.
Having developed his own unique approach to acupuncture, he went on to study Western medicine at Xi’an Jiaotong University. He graduated in 1983 and became a certified herbalist and acupuncture practitioner in 1986. Also a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Master Sha is a registered acupuncturist in Canada.
He taught tai chi, qigong and acupuncture to physicians at the World Health Organisation’s Institute of International Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Beijing. In 1988, Master Sha achieved a Master’s in Hospital Administration at the University of the Philippines. At the same time, he treated many VIPs using his acupuncture skills and offered a street clinic for the poor.
