I am so happy I did the Herbal Course at Phoenix Academy. The course was very well organised with highly experienced TCM Doctors. Every lecture was well supported by two moderators who listened to the students' feedback, responded quickly and professionally. This course gave me the skills and confidence to modify and prescribe herbs to my clients.
