Towards the end of his formal studies in 2007, Laurie met Dr. Arnaud Versluys, the current lineage holder of the Tian lineage, a classical herbal lineage of Shang Han Za Bing Lun practice based around highly systematic method of pulse diagnosis. He was also fortunate to study with Dr. Versluys’ teacher & previous lineage holder, the master clinician Dr. Zeng Rong Xiu, on a number of occasions before he sadly passed away.
