• Jian Ling Shen, Mandarin teacher in London

  Nora writes with such joy from her heart that you feel her warmth, humour and wisdom in every blog post. Her deep understanding of the five elements and her intricate observations of life and people triggers your senses and ignites your imagination.

• Jeremy Sweeney, Executive Coach, London

  In a world of ever increasing pressure and pace, Nora's traditional wisdom provides a rare place of calm reflection and insight. I love her ability to distil simplicity from complexity and clarity from opacity. That so much of her writing is based on observing everyday life, and lightly drawing the deeper meanings from it, is what makes the work so accessible and all the more precious.

• Susan Vale, designer, Hampshire

  I return to Nora's blog again and again for her insights into the human condition. I feel as though I'm part of a conversation in which I'm enlightened, reassured and uplifted. Nora has a knack of getting to the heart of the matter by explaining profound and complicated ideas simply and easily. Her blogs are always thought provoking & life-affirming.

• Gye Bennetts, 5 Element Seminars Australia

  5 Element Acupuncture has always been more about skills and observation than facts from a book, more about our ability to connect with another person with our senses and our heart. In these writings Nora Franglen shares with us the precious gift of years of experience and reflection in developing these skills and in that, invites us to delve deeper into the Five Elements, ourselves as practitioners and into this beautiful medicine that we practice.
