Ping Ho
Ping grew up in Hong Kong, where Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been an integral part of daily life for thousands of years. In China, Chinese medicine and Western medicine have long been formally integrated within the healthcare system. Influenced by her early experiences, Ping went on to study at the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) in 2015.
Since graduating, she has been practising classical acupuncture, supporting clients with a wide range of medical conditions and health concerns. Apart from studying Chinese herbal medicine with Dr. Li Xin from China, she currently also teaches Point Location at ICOM and supervises student clinics.
Ping has extensive experience supporting conditions such as acute and chronic pain, insomnia, gynaecological issues (including cysts, fibroids and endometriosis), fertility, menopause and hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, neurological conditions and digestive disorders, etc. She also has a particular interest in supporting people affected by cancer. During her six years working at the Crawley Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre, her treatments supported patients with various types of cancer in either recovery stage or palliative care. In addition, she has delivered numerous talks about acupuncture and Chinese medicine at MacMillan Centre(Redhill Hospital) and Olive Tree (Crawley Hospital) to help improving general public’s understanding of Chinese Medicine/acupuncture and its application.
Following her graduation from ICOM, Ping furthered her training in Qigong Tuina massage with Rosey Grandage. This study enhanced her diagnostic skills and deepened her interest in qigong, tai chi, yoga, musculoskeletal exercise training, and general yangsheng practices. The ancient Chinese Yangsheng practice (养生) is a traditional Chinese approach to nurturing life and maintaining health. The word literally means “nourishing life” or “cultivating vitality.” It focuses on living in harmony with the body, nature, and the seasons to promote longevity and wellbeing. By observing one’s own lifestyle—such as sleep patterns, emotional state, diet, and exercise routine—an individual can begin to notice signs of imbalance. With this awareness, small and gradual adjustments to daily habits can be made to restore balance. Such incremental changes offer a sustainable and long-term approach to improving overall health.
Ping is a member of the British Acupuncture Council. She practises at ICOM Clinic from Tuesday to Thursday and on Saturdays. Currently she is also a teacher of Point Location at the college and a supervisor for student clinics.
