Dr. Diep has been training in Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture with his father
Dr Bao Sanh Diep since 1984 and is qualified as a Doctor of Medicine and Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) with The Open International University for Complementary Medicines (OIUCM). Not only is he a Doctor of Medicine, he is also a Master of Chinese Feng Shui and Master of Martial Arts.
Dr Tuan Anh Diep was born in 1967 to a family of Traditional Medicine Practitioners and Martial Artists. His father was a Doctor practicing Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture both in Vietnam and the United Kingdom (in addition to his successful business in biscuit manufacture, a coach company and being a noted Kung Fu Master for Binh Thai Dao School in Vietnam). This motivated Dr Diep to train in Kung Fu and study Traditional Medicine ever since.
After the war in 1975, Vietnam began to expel people of Chinese origins. Dr Diep’s family had to leave everything behind, becoming refugees who then resettled in the United Kingdom in October 1979. Despite all the hardship, Dr Diep’s father began to rebuild his dreams by opening a clinic in Northampton in 1983 and encouraged his children to follow in his footsteps.
Following his father’s death in 1996, Dr Diep was very anxious to research deeper into Feng Shui, due to the last will of his father, which was “to be cremated and not buried, so that future generations could continue to inherit the ancestor’s burial site in Vietnam. After nearly
two long years of searching Vietnam for a suitable Feng Shui Master, Dr Diep was finally introduced to Grand Master Nhi Nguyen in 1997. Born in 1925, Grand Master Nguyen is the third generation of his family to practice Feng Shui. However, as his own children had shown little interest in Feng Shui, he agreed to pass his knowledge and skills on to Dr Diep by accepting him as his student. Grand Master Nhi Nguyen's practice, about 40 km from Dr Diep’s old home in Qui Nhon, offers I Ching, Time Related Questions / Predictions, Relationship Advice and, of course, yin and yang Feng Shui.
In recent years Dr Diep has successfully qualified as both a Master of Feng Shui and Doctor of Medicine M.D. (T.M.) and Philosophy. Mastering skills in Martial Arts, Traditional Medicine and Feng Shui, has enabled Dr Diep to fully understand the true concept of what is Qi (vital energy).
As the Ancient Sinhala saying from an old manuscript of 500.B.C. states “If you cannot be the King, be a Healer”. Dr Diep’s father would have been proud to know that his son is now achieving all three skills that most Chinese would wish their children to possess, a Natural Healer, Kung Fu Master, and Feng Shui Master.
As a Master of Kung Fu and Feng Shui, combined with his wealth of knowledge in Chinese Medicine, Dr. Diep’s skill-set is invaluable to the College.
