A Therapist...
Raphaël Epaillard has been immersed in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine for over fifteen years. A graduate of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (IMTC) in France, he pursued advanced specialization in acupuncture at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM), where he later earned a Master’s degree in Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and Tuina.
His international career has led him to practice successfully in both France and Thailand, where he served for three years as head of the TCM department at Dr. Thanyaphat’s clinic. His expertise has allowed him to successfully treat more than 4,000 patients from around the world with a wide range of complex conditions, from pain management and post-stroke symptoms to neurological, visual, and cardiac disorders, as well as gynecological issues and allergies, among others.
After several years of practice abroad, Raphaël chose to return to France to share the full breadth of his knowledge. He now practices as a clinician in his own practice, offering treatments that blend traditional teachings and the experience gained from masters as well as his own extensive clinical practice.


...a Teacher
Drawing on this extensive clinical experience, Raphaël has also developed strong teaching expertise. A regular lecturer at Prince of Songkla University and a tutor for students at SHUTCM, he has trained numerous Bachelor's and Master's level students. Today, he dedicates his know-how to the new generation of practitioners, passing on not only fundamental techniques but also the clinical approach that has been key to his success. His teaching method blends academic rigor with hands-on experience, equipping aspiring therapists with all the tools they need to thrive in this demanding and rewarding field.
