…In all, the Triple Crown is a fantastic training and a beautiful experience and Sabine is an exceptional human being – it’s worth doing the training just to spend quality time in her company and glimpse her extraordinary talent for decoding the classics.

I apply the principles I’ve learned as a fusion from influential teachers in the field of both Chinese medicine and Western contemporary dance and somatic practices. How I apply medicine is in response to a life that is unique to me, and that uniqueness has meaningful value in the care that I provide. As I move forward and learn further, I will continue to stare at the pieces of the white puzzle and contemplate life and how to live and care for myself and others with tender reverence for its mystery. As the beloved late Mary Oliver asks, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do. With your one wild and precious life?”

DON’T HESITATE, the classes are starting soon… very soon! If you’ve ever considered studying Chinese medical Chinese but just didn’t know how to get started please please check out Dr. Sabine Wilms’ Triple Crown Chinese language program designed for Chinese medicine practitioners. …Whether you’re an absolute beginner or already have a strong background in modern Chinese there’s much to gain for everyone… I promise! I did her series of classes this past year and it was an absolute blast!

You have been able to show that translation is a dialogue that starts from a deep desire to listen, rather than the mechanical application of rules and regulations. This has made your course deeply humane.

Every time I read and translate a classical text I expand my own understanding and practice of Chinese medicine many times over.

For most of my career (more than 23 years of clinical fertility and gynaecology practice) I have longed to be able to read the original sources of our medicine, and now I’m finally beginning to. It isn’t always easy, but with ongoing determination, courses, and support from Sabine it’s all starting to open up and make sense - and it’s so much fun!

…Almost like baking a cake, individual homework culminated in an academic feast in every class that fulfilled not only our interest for the language but also sparked our minds and nourished our hearts with the essence of the historical and philosophical roots that underlie the texts that served as the basis of our coursework. Sabine’s excellence as a teacher is amplified by her contagious passion and enthusiasm turning every class into a lively and stimulating learning experience.

…Sabine’s wonderful teaching and guidance have helped this ancient knowledge touch the depths of me in a way I could never have comprehended. My work has seen the benefit, therefore, so have my patients. Yes, it’s hard work, but so enjoyable. I am now committed and in for the long haul.

…Though gently insistent on paying attention to certain features of the language (notably grammar) she is never rigidly dogmatic, and respects individual translators’ style and approach to the medical literature.

She has also, more recently, been very generous in providing feedback and advice on articles that I have written, despite her busy schedule. Her long experience in all matters relating to publication, websites, etc., will also benefit those interested in making their work available to a wider public….

…taking these classes has not only pushed my growing edge for understanding classical grammar, but broadened my view of classical literature enormously. Sabine is also an enthusiastic lecturer who is capable of and delights in providing historical context for each text. The online format that she uses is another very good tool….

…The class really upped my understanding of medical and other early texts and thus makes the great knowledge there more accessible. And that makes my understanding the concepts in Chinese medicine so much richer. I am very grateful for her teaching.

…With her deep knowledge, her long-term immersion in the subject and her stimulating, enthusiastic teaching, Sabine is uniquely placed to be an ideal guide on this exciting and enjoyable journey of discovery.

…I believe Dr. Wilms’ experience designing and teaching this content for various Chinese medical universities, work as a professional translator of numerous classical Chinese medical works, and her close ties to many experienced practitioners of Chinese medicine make her eminently and uniquely qualified to offer this material. …Dr. Wilms is the real deal!

…These classes were engaging, thought provoking, and incredibly fun! Dr. Wilms was very selective in choosing her initial cohort, which has been a great benefit, as we all have had the opportunity to grow and learn from one another given our individual unique backgrounds and experiences….

…It is so rare nowadays to meet someone so passionate, dedicate and honest with such a huge and deep knowledge! …
