I live in Waterlooville in Hampshire. I have many years experience of various martial arts, where I was introduced to the amazingly powerful exercise form that is Chi Kung, as a means of developing power, strength and mental focus. I began to feel that as I got older the chi kung gave me all the physical and mental conditioning I needed, without the aches, pains and bruises!

I have since taken that experience and further developed my skills at The College of Elemental Chi Kung, where I completed a two year practitioners certificate, to ensure students get the most that Chi kung can offer. In particular I like to incorporate elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine into my classes and personal tuition, with a strong focus on five element and meridian theory, so that students gain an understanding of the benefits of chi kung in relation to these elements.

I am also a complementary therapist, practicing in reflexology, hypnotherapy, reiki and stress management, and very strongly believe in the principle that our health is directly related to the flow of energy (chi) in and around our bodies and I apply this through my therapies and Chi Kung.
