about me

A LIFE-LONG PASSION


Dr Thomas Jahn’s studies of oriental medicine, Qi Gong and martial arts began over 35 years ago whilst growing up in Japan. He proceeded with a formal Chinese Medicine degree in the USA, and then moved to China, where he was introduced to classical Chinese medicine and Daoism and began an apprenticeship with his Qi Gong master, Ma Shi-qi. 


For the past 18 years, this journey has been continuing in Cape Town, South Africa. He has honed his skills in a broad variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, private practices, hospice, as well as clinics for the homeless, addiction and sports medicine, allowing him to address any medical challenge.

His primary practice and pharmacy 木灣 are based from his home in Kommetjie, and he continues to be available in Gardens once a week. 


Dr Thomas Jahn speaks English, German &  Mandarin.
