This experience led her to study Chinese Medicine, spend five months practicing in Vanuatu in 2000 and in 2005 a trip to China to learn from the teachers who had taught her.


Deb’s vast knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine results from years of experience studying and working in South East Asia including Medical Universities and Hospitals, Nanning in China, Port Villa and Santo in Vanuatu and Ho Chi Min in Vietnam.
