Dr Hung D Tran, MBBS
physician, facilitator, mentor
I do not treat sickness. I help to awaken the health and thriving that’s already there.
Two decades of seeking
I qualified as a doctor from St Mary’s Hospital Medical School, Imperial College, and worked as a hospital doctor and GP in the NHS. Then I turned to classical Chinese medicine and ran an acupuncture practice in Central London for over twenty years.
Alongside it, I kept looking. Buddhist meditation in two traditions, which I was introduced to as a child and later taught for fifteen years. Daoist philosophy and the life-nourishing arts. Alchemical healing. Chinese and Western medicine side by side.
I wanted to know what actually heals people.
What I couldn’t explain
Two things puzzled me for most of my career.
The first was that I witnessed remarkable healing in my practice — and it often had little to do with anything I did or said. Something else was at work, and none of my training accounted for it.
The second was closer to home. For most of my life I struggled with long-standing mental and physical health challenges, and nothing I tried touched it. I had every tool available to me. I was a doctor, an acupuncturist, a meditation teacher. And I was still unwell.
Why did some people heal, and others — including me — not?
What changed
What I eventually came to see and have landed was:
Health and thriving are not goals to be reached. They’re what we’re all born with and then forget, hidden beneath all that we learned to believe about ourselves. That lasting healing and change happens when we catch sight of this and come home to who we are.
Once that was clear, a great deal changed on its own including full recovery from my long term mental and physical health.
I now help people to remember the health and thriving that’s already in them.
Let me be clear - if you’re ill, see your doctor. What I offer is a conversation about health. Working with me is not a replacement for appropriate medical attention.
