Hiep's story
Hiệp was born into a family with a strong educational background, his mother being the principal of a kindergarten in Ha Dong District. From the very beginning, he was like any other child, full of life and energy. However, as time passed, Hiệp began to experience gradual vision loss, and now, one of his eyes is completely blind, while the other only has very limited sight. Despite this, Hiệp’s unwavering determination and hard work have allowed him to overcome countless challenges.

Thanks to his persistence, Hiệp has earned the trust and admiration of many clients. Some have even returned after several years to request his Zen 120 treatment. This success is a result of his dedication to his craft and his ability to make people feel comfortable, even in the face of his own adversity.

Over the years, Hiệp has also become an inspiration to his visually impaired peers. Through his efforts, he has gained the trust and support of BlindLink, an organization dedicated to empowering the blind community.

As a result, Hiệp now stands proudly among the teaching staff for the Therapeutic Massage course, set to begin on December 16, 2024. This new chapter in his journey is not just a personal achievement but a testament to his resilience, his desire to help others, and his commitment to making a difference in the lives of those around him.
