The Four Functions Framework

The Book

ELEVATE YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH CARE

With Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Meridian System in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is over 2,500 years old, and is a scientifically-proven treasure map for human health and wellness. Yet it is often shrouded in mystery, and feels totally impenetrable to beginners.

Che’s book Meridians For Everyone is a journey into TCM, teaching it in a step-by-step sequence that builds a solid understanding of TCM and the Meridian System – how they work, and how to navigate it all, even for people with no previous experience.

John R. Cross FCSP, Dr.Ac., an esteemed TCM Professor, highly recommends Che’s book, and the theory detailed within it, calling The Four Functions Framework ‘Inspired, Original and Excellent‘.

Che hopes to publish Meridians for Everyone in 2026.

I read it in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down! I went from ‘gosh this is complicated’ to ‘actually this is all beautifully simple’ in the space of about 100 pages. Well done. An impressive achievement with such a complicated topic.

Caeredwen Gregson-Barnes, Counsellor and Bowen Therapist

The Four Functions as a concept is very useful. The book is easy to read, concise and easy to follow logically. A great start point for beginners, and for bodyworkers who want a simple understanding without getting bogged down in the intricacies.

Paul Kerwin, Clinical Acupuncture Specialist

Che’s book Meridians For Everyone is truly excellent, inspired and original. It is a wonderfully new way of looking at TCM – a really good philosophy. Well done!!

Dr John R Cross

I have dabbled in learning about acupuncture channels for years and know that this helps me provide better and fuller care for my patients. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this book and found it easy to understand, the explanation of the channels and grouping it into the four functions made a lot of sense.

The Training

ELEVATE YOUR PROFESSIONAL HEALTH PRACTICE

With Traditional Chinese Medicine

Many practitioners sense that Meridians matter, but struggle to hold the system clearly enough to use it with confidence. This course exists to change that.

I developed a new way to explain the Meridian System, that offers an accessible way-in for beginners, and gives those with prior experience a clear new lens and helpful perspective.

With a background in Corporate Training, I am skilled at simplifying complex concepts.

The Four Functions Framework is a complete game changer for students of TCM.

We went down for the weekend from Derby to attend training with Che in TCM and the Meridians - so worth it!! Just amazing - safe, well held and lots of learning, in a beautiful location. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate, just do it!

Excellent. Beautiful, peaceful location. Che is an excellent teacher and has made me want to explore these topics further.

It was informal, relaxed and the knowledge was shared in a really accessible way. The practical sessions and overall structure was great, helping us to bond as a group.

I learnt practical skills I can use straight away on myself and my loved ones, and am inspired to explore further now I have a grounded basic understanding of the meridians.
